Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They deserve respect.

Unfortunately, St. Joseph’s Hospital in Texas has hired union busters to stop nurses from unionizing. Unacceptable.

I stand with these brave nurses in the struggle for justice & against corporate greed.

.@mcuban is wrong. Lina Khan is the best FTC Chair in modern history.

By taking on corporate greed & illegal monopolies, Lina is doing an exceptional job preventing large corporations from ripping-off consumers & exploiting workers.

Thanks @linakhanFTC for what you are doing.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

President Biden is right. He should not invoke Taft-Hartley to end the port strike. Dock workers are striking against excessive corporate greed. The shipping industry has made $400 billion in profits since 2020. It's time for dock workers to be treated with respect, not contempt.

Fun inside fact: JD Vance has to do his lil "side eye" thing once every three minutes per the terms of his contract with L'Oreal Paris ColorLast™ Eyeliner.

President of the painters and allied trades union Jimmy Williams Jr says the union is directing its massive international pension fund to make sure none of its investments are going to support the “genocide in Gaza”.

Cori Bush defiant in defeat: "All they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid."

"They about to see this other Cori, this other side," she said. "AIPAC, I'm coming to tear your kingdom down."

BREAKING: The Biden administration's ban on noncompete clauses has been upheld in court.

A Pennsylvania judge denied an injunction seeking to block the rule.

As of now, virtually all noncompete agreements with bosses will be banned and voided beginning September 4.

[Washington-Baltimore News Guild @WBNG32035]

We stand with @SPLCUnion and demand justice for the workers at @splcenter. Reverse the layoffs. #1u

An Olympics’ opening ceremony rehearsal "did not go as planned" after dancers raised their fists to protest unequal treatment instead of dancing.

The dancers have now filed a strike notice, and they’re not the only Paris workers on the verge of striking.

Thread.

Biden? Out.
Group chats? Crazy.
Future? Uncertain.
Me?

In a MASSIVE win for local governance, democracy, and freedom, the Death Star Bill (#HB2127) has been declared unconstitutional. This could allow localities to enact more life-saving measures, tenant protections, on-discrimination ordinances, and MUCH more.

[Crystal Dávila @crysforpasadena]

I’m so proud of everyone involved and fighting the good fight in our beloved state of Texas 💕
