Warren wants no sleep til Jan. 3: "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer must use every minute of the end-of-year legislative session to confirm federal judges and key regulators—none of whom can be removed by the next President" https://t.co/rCunJuO1PF
It's never too late to #Breakyourstreak! Stay tuned here for updates, the picket line lasts as long as our strike. In the meantime we have made an entire Games and Cooking website for you to use instead of @NYTGames and @nytcooking: https://t.co/OWqUIZat7f
There is no good reason why companies like @nytimes should be able to force workers who were hired to work remotely and have done so for years to move across the country to NYC at any time. We are not going to just roll over. Our members deserve protection and security.
Thanks to #workers & advocates, a combined 590,000 workers in #Alaska & #Missouri will see the #MinimumWage go⬆️to $15. Tipped workers in #Arizona also defeated a ballot initiative that would have cut their wages. This 🧵showcases the coalitions that made these victories possible
While inflation is hammering Louisiana families with high gas and grocery prices, Gov. Jeff Landry wants to pile on $1 BILLION IN NEW TAXES that will bury working people and a $0.45 service tax that will crush small businesses.
Louisiana cannot afford new taxes! #LaGov#LaLege

People will vote for the party that appears to be harming their enemies. They'll vote for the party that seems to be directly helping their interests.
They will NOT vote for the party who is promising to do *less harm* to them than the other guys or the state of nature.
Democrats see value in blunting the worst aspects of society. But a majority of people don't. A majority of people agree with Republicans that some people should be hurt (the "right" people, of course) some helped (rich people) and everybody else should just deal with reality.
“One of the most powerful things you can do is fight for someone you don’t know. And right now, the Times Tech Guild is doing just that — you’re fighting for workers at Google, at Apple, at Microsoft, all over the tech industry!” - @gaufre, NewsGuild president
@TerriGerstein Thank you!
New Orleans passed two progressive charter amendments last night -- putting a Workers' Bill of Rights in our city charter, and dedicating 2% of our budget general fund to affordable housing.
