Full quote provided for this article:

"My staff members are free to engage in political activity in their off-hours. And quite frankly, as their employer, I find it disconcerting to be contacted about an action as passive and peaceable as signing a ballot measure petition. It is entirely understandable and human to want this war to end – to see the remaining hostages returned to their families and the unspeakable horrors being inflicted on the people of Gaza (and now increasingly the people of the West Bank) to stop. We do not all have to agree on how to get there. But targeting the livelihoods of individual Pittsburghers for expressing their position one way or another is a dark road I sincerely hope none of us wants to go down."

These are some of the same lawyers who represented Trump during his attempt to overturn Pennsylvania’s 2020 presidential election results: https://t.co/1tiAk5R6S8

[Pittsburgh DSA @pghDSA]

BREAKING: "63% of Pittsburgh voters support the referendum, including 70% of registered Democrats and 75% of people between the ages of 18 and 35"

#NoWarCrimesOnOurDime is wildly popular.

The attempts to take it off the ballot are deeply anti-democratic.

This is really too on the nose: @Gannett’s job postings for scabs to replace us fail to provide compensation range, a direct violation of state labor law. They can’t even *not* employ people right. CC @NYSDOLCommish

Rep Steckman: "Outside of enabling discrimination, what is the purpose of listing transgender people's status on their IDs?"

"I can think of a million things we should be doing besides going after 0.29% of our population"

[ACLU-DC Staff United @ACLUDCunion]

Here lies @ACLU_DC’s 4-day work week.

Beloved by many. Killed by management after we unionized.

Yesterday, we went to the office and paid our respects to this life-changing benefit. Now, we’re calling on management to return to the table to bargain in good faith to revive it.

Now in his official capacity as Senator, Josh Hawley has signed an amicus brief demanding that the Supreme Court end a temporary injunction blocking the ruling (in his wife's lawsuit) by a federal judge (his campaign donor) to ban America's most commonly-used abortion medication.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The DOJ and DOT are set to block JetBlue and Spirit’s $3.8 billion merger.

Four airlines already control 82% of the U.S. market.

If JetBlue is allowed to buy up one of the few budget airlines, it would cut flights and hike prices industry-wide.

"The seemingly never-ending series of injunctions and restraining orders that Warrior Met convinced the local judiciary to issue didn’t help matters, especially after workers lost the right to picket." @thenation https://t.co/qMPQc6VAfC

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Spain became the 1st country in Europe to offer paid menstrual leave, for 3-5 days.

It also gave final approval to laws that:
▪️ enshrine rights to abortion for people over 16
▪️ let trans people over 16 self-identify gender by simple declaration, one of the only places to do so

While I am at home for my isolation period, I am going to be radically resting and not trying to work remotely through this.

Rest during the acute phase of COVID19 might be a protective factor against developing Long COVID later, so it's really important to do this if you can.
