The Labor movement is going through some big things. 88% of people under 30 now support unions. 70% say society would be better with more people in a union. These numbers are incredible!

A Republican state representative asked Rep. Justin Jones what he means by the chant “No Justice, No Peace.”

His response is worth hearing in full:

Bryant School District reporting a disparity of over $5 million between what it will need to fund the $50k teacher salaries vs. what it will get from the state.

#LEARNSmath doesn't add up, yet again.

No excuses—I recall the superintendent telling committee this would happen.

This filing in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News is one of the most remarkable documents I've ever seen. Filled with private texts between Fox stars like Hannity and Carlson, plus Murdoch, all admitting they knew Fox's stolen election claims were lies. https://t.co/F5VTxc3w3C

The sickness of racism in American policing is systemic and depersonalized. Sometimes, it takes the form of Derek Chauvin. Sometimes, it takes the form of the five black cops who murdered Tyre Nichols. It is the same sickness.

BREAKING -- In an important win for labor in the South, workers at a Trader Joe's in Louisville vote 48 to 36 in favor of unionizing. They overcame the company's anti-union campaign to become the third TJ's in the country to unionize after stores in Hadley, Mass., & Minneapolis.

Please talk to your children and your younger siblings and cousins about what they’re watching on Twitch and YouTube. These influencers aren’t all fun and games. Andrew Tate was allegedly trafficking and imprisoning women and forcing them into digital sex work while INFLUENCING

remember, every dollar that goes into your local police force is a dollar taken away from a city service that doesn’t shoot kids.

The Dems are no worker's party.

The Dems aren't all progressives.

But they're much goddamn better than Reps, who threaten our rights and threaten our democracy.

Make the Dems better. Fight for your rights. Fight for real democracy. Join the DSA: https://t.co/a3zgF9UC3v

Anti-voting leftists often argue that "Democrats and Republicans are the same"

Why that's wrong, in 4 maps and a graph: 🧵

"We're a constitutional republic, not a democracy."

The number one sentence to let you know the person doesn't understand basic civics or the Constitution.

The man in the red Texas Rangers shirt came up to the armed antifascists outside of the drag brunch in Roanoke, Texas.

"Oh, so scary," he said. Then he called them "a bunch of fucking pussies."

Today’s news that the Supreme Court is taking up the Moore v. Harper case ahead of 2024 should scare the hell out of all of us. This Court could gut our Presidential elections the same way they just gutted Roe. Here’s a 🧵 on why it’s so dangerous and what we can do about it. 1/

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

If the Supreme Court enshrines ISLT, it means Trump's Republican Party won't need a coup after the election to install him as President in 2024, they can just change the rules in swing states ahead of time to ensure they get the outcome they want.

STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPRESSED TO MOVE TO A BLUE STATE. Seriously, fuck off with that. It’s a privileged statement, and it does nothing to solve the problem.

[Graydon Gordian @MrGordian]

Roe. Miranda. Gun control. Church and State. All dismantled in a single week. The single worst week for civil rights and liberties in decades.
