Workers at a Philly @WholeFoods have just released the results of their union election—AND THEY WON!!!! 130-100, baby! 🦅

Philadelphia is now home to the first unionized Whole Foods Market in the U.S. One down, 500 more to go!

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?

Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it.

Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

I'm sorry — the White House *doesn't know* if they're freezing health care for 72 million people?

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

Tell us how. What mechanisms will you use? What are you prepared to do? What exactly is the fighting you pledge to keep doing? Has anyone seen it?

hey so the headline you're looking for is "israel shoots a toddler during a ceasefire"

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Palestinian, Arab & Muslim students filed a federal civil rights complaint in Jan. 2024. The DOE investigated & concluded that Harvard intentionally ignored or dismissed nearly all students who sought help facing racism, violence, doxxing & harassment.

Imagine if Democrats, when in power, had pursued progressive policies with half this insistence. We would be living in very different circumstances.

[Carlos Aguilar @Carlos_Film]

Undocumented immigrants deserve dignity not because of how their labor serves you and this country, but because we are human beings. But that seems hard to understand in a society that values people based on their productivity.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Look at what our government spent our tax dollars on.

Not a single person asked “how will we pay for it?”

tenderness is no small thing—it is a planet or moon of utter warmth, it is a sweetness that can nearly wound

[兔兒神 @chenchenwrites]

i'm thinking about how working toward justice & liberation involves both a deep patience (with cumulative, collective action) and a true impatience (with oppressive systems and the powerful who maintain them).

[Sarah Ali @Saritah_91]

the vulgarity of it all. the fact that 2.3 million Palestinians are waiting, in the dark, in cold, fear, and hunger, for a tv 'announcement' that israeli american bombs may stop shredding their children to pieces.

The heroic doctor, and director, of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza is still a hostage of the Israeli army. His family says he is in critical condition after severe torture by the "most moral army in the world".

the whole of you has been transformed into feeling.
