Biden still hasn’t spoken to the family of Aysenur Eygi, a 26-year-old American killed by Israeli forces.
Reporter: Why has the president not spoken with her family who said they’ve been interested in hearing from him
White House: US officials have been in touch, we’re working on additional calls
The sheriff featured by Democrats last night is same sheriff we recently sued over taking cash from private equity-owned telecom companies to eliminate the ability of children to visit their parents in jail, on the theory that families would spend more money on monopoly calls.
The Democrats quietly dropped abolishing the death penalty from their party platform. This is the first time since 2012 the platform doesn't call for abolition and the first time since 2004 there's no mention of the death penalty at all https://t.co/RhKtMJmmaa
lololol
This council has built its platform on not giving a shit about unhoused people and still bumbled their inhuman plan to punish the most vulnerable people.
SCOOP: Disney family heiress @abigaildisney tells me she is pausing donations to Dems until Joe Biden steps down.

PWU and the Sierra Club reached an agreement early this morning, narrowly averting a strike. Major sections of the agreement include... 1/7🧵 https://t.co/Et9gjM9QOM
There is just one day left for @SierraClub to meet our union's demands and avoid a strike.
Our members have organized pickets for tomorrow from 8-6 outside of Sierra Club offices in DC, LA and Oakland.
Please join us on the picket line and donate to our strike fund. 🧵
Sierra Club @PWUnion1 members are going on strike Tuesday unless we’re able to make some headway in negotiations. To provide extra support while striking we’re seeking donations to our #StrikeFund. #1u#Solidarity

BREAKING: Sierra Club Staff Union votes to strike to counter union-busting.
Over 82% of eligible members voted to authorize a strike starting on July 2nd over ongoing unfair labor practice charges against @SierraClub and @BenJealous.
Stay tuned on how to support our union.
Here are some of the reasons that our members at the @SierraClub overwhelmingly supported a no confidence vote in @BenJealous and his Executive Team last month 😤😤😤
This is not "progressive leadership" - this is union busting and general mismanagement.
