"Migrant workers will be rallying outside the White House at 8am to demand that Biden makes good on his promise to protect workers who come forward to denounce workplace abuse, & to renew & expand these protections from deportation."

Bandcamp's entire union bargaining team was laid off. Songtradr says it didn't know who they were. We saw an invitation to a meeting sent by Songtradr to Bandcamp's bargaining committee. Songtradr's CEO RSVPed 'yes':

The @UAW strike expands today, and union president Shawn Fain announced the next wave with a powerful speech.

"This war isn't against some foreign country. The front lines are right here at home. It's the war of the working class...and our strike is the vehicle for liberation."

[UAW @UAW]

"For decades it’s been the same story. Unchecked corporate power. Disappearing worker power. The result is massive inequality across our society. To restore the balance of power, we have to restore the strike. That’s what every one of our striking members is doing." - @ShawnFainUAW

[In These Times @inthesetimesmag]

In Mexico, a number of autoworkers are refusing voluntary overtime in support of the U.S. strike.

Unprecedented. OSHA asks the media to help them let poultry workers know will try to protect them from retaliation.Workers in Mar Jac poultry plant where a 16 year old was killed on the job clearly fear retaliation if they speak up. https://t.co/8ttQq2U3FB

That he is so closely affiliated with white nationalist groups like CIST or FAIR is a good indicator of where these dumb ideas come from. #BeBetter

"Elliot Abrams’s invitation into President Biden’s top diplomatic circles is symptomatic of a much bigger problem with this Administration, particularly when it comes to its disregard & mistreatment of Central Americans."

@nandorvila I was there last week saying the same while people were saying I just wasn’t used to it. But the heat index actually was higher than normal, and on average it’s been one of the hottest years ever: https://t.co/QpKxRAfvwJ

Yesterday in Homestead, FL: Over 3,000 immigrant workers and families, descending from nations across the Americas, joined our action to march side by side in unity against racist attacks on our communities. There is no Florida without us. Aquí estamos y no nos vamos! #AltoSB1718

NEW: On January 13, DHS announced a new process that would allow some undocumented workers involved in labor disputes to obtain deferred action and a work permit. This is a HUGE development, one that migrant workers have spent years fighting for. https://t.co/LfijZX03vy
