On Friday, the US could see its 1st major rail strike and/or lockout since the 90s. MSM has *finally* taken an interest in covering this story but seldom from the workers' side. Here's a thread of our @TheRealNews coverage this year on the long-brewing crisis in the rail industry
The situation in Jackson requires political action. Join us in raising these demands and building autonomous structures. #Justice4Jackson https://t.co/wby5gYO0fK
Everyone, please keep spreading the word. This crisis isn't going to be resolved quickly. We are going to need some serious solidarity in the days and weeks ahead. #Solidarity#MutualAid
To secure the vote of @Sen_JoeManchin, Dems auctioned off more drilling leases and relaxed permitting requirements. Experts say the measures may prolong the env damage many face — especially in areas where petroleum products are produced for export. https://t.co/UaatgMo4fW
These and many many other reasons are why we need to vote @GregAbbott_TX out, he clearly doesn't care about the well-being of Texans and is only interested in pushing his own agenda at the sake of our lives. #FueraAbbott#AbbottFailsTexasEveryday
Texas could do so much with $5.4 billion.
But instead of fixing the grid or funding schools, Greg Abbott has ignored these problems & has instead focused on wasting those $5.4 billion in criminalizing migrants through Operation Lonestar.

.@GovAbbott allowed so many deaths in Texas, especially when he failed to fix the power grid and 700 Texans died during the historic freeze. This November, let's vote him out! #FueraAbbott
... 'many activists from neighborhoods that have long suffered from environmental threats say the trade-offs Democrats made to win the support of @Sen_JoeManchin outweigh the legislation’s efforts to redress long-standing racial and economic unfairness.' https://t.co/BbB2n95L7W
We're back at the bargaining table demanding a contract that protects us from wrongful firing. Simple, right? Not exactly.
Under POLITICO's proposal, we could be fired any time, for any reason — even if, as management said, they don't like our writing style one day. Here’s how👇
🚨 URGENT: Videos captured by @NatButterflies' surveillance show to what lengths TX nat. guard will go to enforce the state's illegal & racist LoneStar scheme.
The Nat. Butterfly Center continues to be incredibly courageous as they shout #EndOpLoneStar 🗣️

Through Op. Lone Star, TX is expanding its infamous carceral and penal system.
.@TheJusticeDept must:
➡️ Initiate a formal Title VI investigation
➡️ Terminate federal funding that TX agencies & counties use to support this Op.

Inflation is at 8.5%. If you get anything less than that from your boss this year, it's actually a pay cut.
If you don't think your boss is going to give you an 8.5+% raise this year, it's time to organize. Watch this video & get with @organizeworkers

Is this you, John Agather, Chair of the RAICES Board of Directors? You were a member of the Confedarate Airforce? You donated to Angela Paxton's campaign, a Trumped-backed politician? #SaveRAICES
UPDATE: After a week of being on RAICES' payroll and being silent for weeks, the new CEO decided to finally send the RAICES workers and staff a letter.
Were any of the issues of over 150+ workers addressed?
Absolutely not. #SaveRAICES
🚨 BREAKING: The Public Defenders Coalition for Immigrant Justice & 14 public defender offices across the country sent a letter to @TheJusticeDept calling for an immediate federal investigation into TX' Op. Lone Star. #EndOpLoneStar
