🚨🚨 if you are a formerly incarcerated job seeker, you have rights! 🚨🚨

[Legal Aid at Work @LegalAidAtWork]

If you're a job seeker with records, the California Fair Chance Act protects you from discrimination based on your criminal history. LAAW's Racial Justice Workers' Advocate Sandra Johnson shares more about the law.

"Deny, deny, deny. That's how you hit your numbers."

Read @propublica's seminal series on how insurance giants like United and Cigna systematically, cruelly—and very, very profitably—deny health coverage every day, at the expense of patients' lives.

This is such good reporting from the @harvardcrimeson:

There are about 27,000 high schools in the U.S.

Over the past 15 years, 1 in 11 students at Harvard have come from just 21 high schools.

So 9.1% of Harvard students come from 0.07% of US schools. @nytdavidbrooks

It’s an outrage to suggest that age makes Durbin not up to the task. Durbin was NEVER up to the task.

“President Biden's inaction, given the suffering in Gaza, is shameful,” Senator @ChrisVanHollen tells @mehdirhasan. “I mean, there's no other word for it.” https://t.co/L5g8fWA3tO

🚨BREAKING: Five legal orgs sent a letter warning Pomona that its unprecedented suspensions violate First Amendment principles and California law.

They also deprive students — mostly first-generation, low-income, and/or of color — of housing and food.

Today, is a good day to remember that Trump would veto a $15 minimum wage & legislation making it easier for McDonald's workers to join unions. In Denmark, where they have strong unions, the minimum wage is $22 and a Big Mac is 3 cents cheaper. Welcome to corporate greed, boss.

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

A new study from UC Berkeley says after California’s $20 fast food minimum wage went into effect, workers made more money, employment remained stable, and a $4 burger cost only 15 cents more. https://t.co/0TCsM6jHAm

On this day in 1944, the Guatemalan Revolution began. It ushered in a decade of progressive reforms and awakened workers and peasants as active forces for societal change.

I don’t think it’s appropriate for universities to invest in weapons manufacturing even if there wasn’t a genocide happening.

Central Valley residents regularly breathing in a "toxic soup" of pesticides applied by farmers, including one that's been in California, according to a new UC Davis study. Detail from @MelissaGomez004: https://t.co/A1gcqp2DX8

[Victor Narro @NarroVictor]

Must-read in @latimes by @MelissaGomez004

A UC Davis study found that as Central Valley residents go about their day, they regularly breathe in pesticides, including one that has been banned in California and another whose effects on people is unclear.

“The total compensation of the top 11 ocean shipping CEOs whose figures were disclosed averaged $4.7 million in 2022, up 19% from 2021, with an average of 50% paid in cash and 50% in stock.” https://t.co/FrIISxnvAs

thinking about the incarcerated people who were left behind during the hurricane, who weathered the storm in cages, who may not have power or water or any way of contacting their loved ones outside the walls. prison abolition is a climate issue

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

President Biden is right. He should not invoke Taft-Hartley to end the port strike. Dock workers are striking against excessive corporate greed. The shipping industry has made $400 billion in profits since 2020. It's time for dock workers to be treated with respect, not contempt.

[lea @taylenarare]

update: the lebanese health minister just announced that israel’s attacks on lebanon led to 1873 deaths and 9134 injured. and the world is still silent.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

The port strike is on.
Solidarity with the longshoremen walking the line tonight!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

This is what it looks like when workers know their power.

Dockworkers know billions of dollars move because of their labor every day. And they know shipping corporations have made hundreds of billions since 2020.

Now they're going to make corporations share the wealth. Via @AP
