Calling all Philadelphians! Join us, the Philly AFL-CIO and more for a teach-in on why the economy is rigged against working people and what we can do to win the Philadelphia we all need and deserve.
Monday, June 29th at CCP at 17th and Spring Garden. Register for more details.
Imagine if a woman running a company that earns billions from government contracts showed up at an investor meeting wearing a t-shirt with unbrushed hair and then, while gesturing like a meth addict, celebrated killing people.
When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”
For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

I love how we keep reading emails where various rich people say they think they’d be better off if they just killed us all and our response is to spend all day typing away about which Democrat might run in three years
Being ruled over by staggeringly wealthy men who take great enjoyment from harming, wounding and controlling the most vulnerable & powerless on earth explains everything, literally everything.
Running list of athletes who have spoken out or taken action amid the Trump-Vance admin's masked agents racially profiling, beating, and kidnapping thousands of people — and murdering Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti:
Adam Serwer on MAGA and Minnesota: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."
The order is incredible. You have to read it. It’s not even three full pages and you feel the judicial fury. He says court orders are repeatedly being ignored and people who have done nothing wrong are remaining in detention despite judicial orders requiring them to be released.

We don't need vague calls to stop shopping at these places or one-off rallies — we need sit-ins, pressure campaigns, *organized* boycotts, employee and consumer petitions, sickouts, demands from elected officials, and non-violent disruption to force these companies to immediately break from ICE
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
New video shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.
They tried to cover it up immediately and the Minneapolis police chief refused. Witnesses have been taken to police headquarters and all available off duty police have been called to work. ICE cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Congress must act now. The Courts must stop the stupid foot dragging. Enough is enough.
@kenklippenstein This is incorrect. Congress has not yet renewed ICE’s budget. House voted but Senate hasn’t yet. They need 10 Dem votes in the Senate. We can still stop it
I’m struck by how they dragged an innocent guy out into the cold at gunpoint in his underwear, drove him around for an hour before they realized they made a mistake, and then didn’t have the basic human decency to APOLOGIZE.
Not even an “I’m sorry, sir.” Nothing.
FYI: Many blue checks are AI accounts designed to flood posts with unusually cruel/sadistic comments to (1) push a political agenda (fascism/Nazism) and (2) demoralize our humanity. Blue checks get priority positioning in all threads, so they appear as an overwhelming majority.
