[Washington Post Guild @PostGuild]

Workers @washingtonpost have been in contract negotiations with our bosses for 18 months.

But the company is refusing to pay us what we’re worth or bargain in good faith.

So on Dec. 7, we’re walking off the job for 24 hours.

[Sara Fischer @sarafischer]

.@washingtonpost Guild says more than 700 WaPo employees plan to walk off the job Dec. 7 for a 24-hour unfair labor practice strike as they negotiate a contract w management. Interim CEO announced 240 job cuts that are starting as voluntary buyouts but could become layoffs.

Join us at the #SurvivorSitIn to DEMAND Leader Schumer and Speaker McCarthy put the Assault Weapons Ban up for a vote immediately. Call 202-224-3121, ask for your senator/representative and tell them to join us. We need an accountability vote NOW. Americans deserve to see where their lawmakers stand on this issue. We are on Constitution Ave. and Delaware NE.

“If Americans were to replace 50 percent of all animal-based foods with plant-based alternatives by 2030, that alone would help them get a quarter of the way toward hitting the U.S. climate target under the Paris agreement.” https://t.co/XQH2JGLBkA

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

I spoke on the House floor opposing the disapproval res. that could overturn the local DC legislation allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections.

Congressional interference w/ local DC laws passed by DC's own elected officials is never justified.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

CAs torrential rains have dominated the news. Fields & orchards have been flooded. Many farm workers haven't worked in weeks. For workers w/little savings this means many can't feed their families. Donate to the UFW's food distribution program @ https://t.co/muZTMQtwcJ #WeFeedYou

[UAW Local 5810 @UAW5810]

With a vote of 89.4% voting YES for Postdocs, and a vote of 79.5% YES for Academic Researchers… WE HAVE NEW CONTRACTS! #FairUCNow

[Katie Porter @katieporterca]

We are now entering week two of unfair labor practice strikes by UAW-represented academic workers at the University of California. Their talent is what enables UC’s world-class research.

I’m leading colleagues to call on UC to reach a resolution and bargain in good faith.

[Berkeley Faculty Association @FacultyBerkeley]

It is even more important to be making donations to the strike fund here https://t.co/aNoTkYua5m

[Lauren Kaori Gurley @LaurenKGurley]

BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.

It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.

Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.

[Amanda Michelle Gomez @amanduhgomez]

Mayor Bowser says the feds are responsible for the several thousand migrants Texas and Arizona bused to DC. Because 10-15% of migrants are staying local, volunteers say the city needs to seriously respond to the ongoing crisis they're shouldering.

[Sanctuary DMV @SanctuaryDMV]

The first of 3 buses expected tonight has arrived. And like the last three months mutual aid is here to greet them. DC government is nowhere in sight.

We will be live tweeting intake today with staggered phone zaps. Please follow along and take action: https://t.co/taMQJYPE2Y

[San Antonio Spurs @spurs]

The all-time winningest coach in NBA history.

Congrats on No. 1336, Coach Pop!

50 more handwritten postcards heading to Maine asking voters there to call Senator King to ask him to cosponsor the DC statehood bill. #PostcardstoMaine #DCStatehood @51stDC

It’s time to enjoy that 94th minute winner from Divock all over again, Reds! 😍

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

He plans to gut Biden's climate plan, and with it the chances for swift global progress.
This is high on the list of most consequential actions ever taken by an individual Senator; you'll be able to see the impact of this vain man in the geologic record.

Given how much @asmamk and I have talked about the news stories that shaped our old/geriatric millennial worldview, it is pretty strange to be talking with her on @NPRWeekend about vows of vengeance against terrorists in Afghanistan, as a hurricane barrels toward Louisiana.
