For those keeping track he’s now vetoed:
-expanded protections for trans kids in custody disputes
-unemployment benefits for striking workers
-anti caste discrimination bill
-bill supported by truck drivers/labor to protect their jobs by requiring drivers in self driving cars

California missed a major opportunity to lead on labor rights. AB 504 would have leveled the playing field between workers and employers at a time when workers around the country are standing up to fight inequality. We’ll be back! Thank you for your support @EGReyesCA

Psychologists often promote an understanding of anxiety based in evolutionary theory. But @astradisastra points out that this doesn’t preclude also understanding it in terms of capitalist political economy

The most romantic moment in any movie is in FARGO, when Frances Mcdormand’s husband wakes up early with her to fix her breakfast before she goes to work, reads the paper while she eats, and then finishes her plate when it’s time for her to head out

[Remy LeBeau @J_everydey]

I had a client who said something so true today. He said that he found out that it costs over $500k to house a person on Rikers for a year (it’s true). But then he was like, if they gave me half of that, they’d never see me here ever again.

Nebraska filibuster for trans rights!

Sen. Cavanaugh has announced she will grind the NE legislature to a halt over a bill that would force the medical detransition of trans youth!

"If you try to pass this bill, it will be very painful for this body."

Dear Liberals:

Please stop pretending that Trump was the sole problem & that this didn’t happen.

It happened & it was just as bad as Trump’s rail dereg. Pretending it didn’t happen is a form of denialism.

So please stop & just acknowledge the truth.

Guess what everyone?

Minnesota's House Judiciary voted DO PASS on the trans refuge bill!

If this bill passes, Minnesota will be a safe haven for trans people fleeing nearby criminalizing states, and will protect trans kids in custody disputes over gender identity!

Reviewers donate work worth >$1 billion to scientific publishers, leading to obscene profits. @ElsevierConnect ‘s profit margin is 10 times higher than most successful companies in the world.
This money has not been spent to improve scientific publishing, science, or society.

[UAW 4811 @uaw_4811]

Why has @UCprezdrake failed to issue any directives or guidance about implementing our new contracts? Academic workers and CA legislators demand to know why campus leaders are threatening cutbacks and the President denies any knowledge of what’s going on.

[Corbino🌱 @TheCorbino]

You guys remember when rail workers were on strike for safer working conditions and our president strong-armed them back into work without meeting their demands?

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

UC casually investing $4 billion in Blackstone while threatening grad admission and funding cuts... Nothing to see here. https://t.co/PrXKKBveUE

RATIFICATION!

For the first time ever GSRs at UCB on my will have a contract to protect them from harassment, bullying, and unfair dismissal!

This was a hard won victory, but the fight doesn’t stop tonight! We continue to fight by organizing and enforcing this goddamn contract
