.@seattletimes management has offered the union some protections around the use of AI — but only to reporters.

Management still insists it needs the right to replace other @SeaTimesUnion workers with AI.

An REI co-op member sitting peacefully in her camp chair -- reading a book, wearing a hand-painted "Boycott REI" shirt, warmly greeting customers -- got arrested by six police officers yesterday at REI's Seattle flagship.

That's who REI called the cops on.

We’re officially entering the second and final weekend of REI’s A-Sale, so ICYMI, here’s why we’re calling on REI members to BOYCOTT through Monday the 25th.

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

America’s unions are standing with @REIunion workers throughout their boycott of the REI anniversary sale.

REI: stop union-busting and reach a fair contract now. Show your solidarity and don’t shop at REI during their anniversary sale through May 25! https://t.co/41kVoCxrDU

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

And now she's quiet on REI boycott, an effort lead by the second union to back her campaign. I emailed her office about REI boycott several weeks ago, no response

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

Get in losers, we are boycotting REI

An absolutely astonishing account of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in the @latimes

They called 62-year-old Ahmad Turmus and asked: “Ahmad, you want to die with those around you or alone?” His response, below, is chilling.

every business owner that does not pay their workers enough to live in their city is a drain on taxpayers who then have to subsidize the workers housing and basic needs

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The REI union is asking customers across the country to boycott the chain.

The workers of @reiunion have been trying to negotiate a first contract for 4 years.

They're tired of the stonewalling and union busting. Now they're escalating, and asking you to join them.

NEW: Airport workers planned a rally for health insurance, but Port of Seattle cops blocked them from delivering their demand letter and kicked them out. To some this shows the unionized cops limited solidarity, but others say the Port is the real enemy https://t.co/KY9J9FN3Uy

[Mica Rosenberg @micarosenberg]

Citing reporting by @propublica and others, nearly 4,000 doctors, nurses and health professionals sent a letter to DHS Sec Kristi Noem calling for the immediate release of all children currently in immigration detention. Full letter: https://t.co/rN1pw2wIWG 1/

RIP Frederick Wiseman

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Frederick Wiseman changed the way we see the world.

From the classrooms of High School to the corridors of Hospital, he turned his camera on the institutions that shape us — inviting us to look closer, sit longer & confront truth with empathy. 

May his memory be a blessing.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

ICE can't function without the private sector. Here are ICE's top corporate collaborators:

Amazon/Whole Foods
Target
Palantir
Every major hotel chain
Home Depot
Lowe’s
AT&T
Aramark
Eastern Airlines
Global X
Omni Air
Flock Systems
Dell
UPS
FedEx
Motorola Solutions
LexisNexis
Thompson Reuters

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
