‼️ BARGAINING UPDATE ‼️

Been 1 year since we filed, been negotiating for 8 months, and while we've made some important progress, the company continues to stall and union-bust in various ways.

A thread! 🧵(read on for the good, the bad, and a call to action at the end!✊)

Researchers who study Type 2 diabetes have reached a stark conclusion: There is no device or drug powerful enough to counter the effects of poverty, pollution, stress, a broken food system, cities that aren't walkable, and inequitable access to healthcare. https://t.co/aQUve1pQW1

Why is Disney remaking its old cartoons as live-action movies when it could be remaking them as Muppet movies?

[Rio Romeo @romeovomit]

to keep up w/ audible, spotify is now selling audiobooks. do NOT buy from either of these brands. there's an app called Libby which is 100% FREE that has thousands of old & brand new audiobooks and all you need is your library card number!

[Sandy Davis @sandradee1495]

Figuring out that you can put a hold on a book in Libby before it comes out is genuinely life altering

[Sandy Davis @sandradee1495]

I have so many books on hold right now and I'm being so patient and it is the worst

If we cancel all student debt, ppl will want medical debt forgiven. If we cancel medical debt, they're going to want free healthcare. If we give them that, they'll want us to house the homeless. Then everyone's going to want a living wage. The whole society will fall apart.

Shout-out to the other neurodivergents who use parentheses too much (to add context to make sure nothing is misunderstood) (because parentheses clarify our directness) (I hope this tweet makes sense).

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.

My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo.

This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.

18 years old and writing about white genocide before he went out to massacre Black folks buying groceries.

But tell me again how we don’t need antiracism education in schools.

We can answer that for you: No. Both @Target and @phluidproject did not get permission to use “SILENCE = DEATH” art. We have been fighting the commodification of AIDS for years and this is the latest edition. If you want to support our work buy from us: https://t.co/MxdVFQEypz
