The Trump administration is attempting a political takeover of federal research grants. On Thursday we will be submitting comments and making calls to our electeds to oppose these changes because the best science happens when evidence guide research decisions, not politics.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

📢UAW Statement on New York Mayoral Primary Race

“The working class is done with business as usual. We were proud to be the first union to endorse Zohran because it’s time for a political movement that puts the working class first. Our members spoke out and turned out in a big way -- and we’re just getting started.

Congratulations to @UAWRegion9A Director Brandon Mancilla on an exceptional field operation. Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani for building a movement, and congratulations to the working-class New Yorkers for showing the world that when we unite and stand up, nobody can stand in our way!” @ShawnFainUAW

“The days of taking labor’s vote for granted are over. It’s time for labor to think about a bigger vision that lifts up and includes all working-class people. UAW members stepped up to fight for an affordable New York--and went to the mat for Zohran--because he made it clear whose side he’s on: workers.” UAW Region 9A Director Brandon Mancilla

🗳️ UAW President Fain and our NYC members are proud to support @ZohranKMamdani. He’s not owned by Wall Street. He’s fighting for $30/hr, free transit, housing for all, and real democracy—on the job and in our communities. Rank Zohran #1 for NYC Mayor on Election Day!

Despite being worth more than $2 trillion, Amazon fails to pay its workers enough to make ends meet.

Support the Amazon Teamsters striking nationwide to win union recognition, a Teamsters contract, and to end Amazon's exploitation and greed!

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

TEAMSTERS LAUNCH LARGEST STRIKE AGAINST AMAZON IN AMERICAN HISTORY

The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.

“If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they’ve pushed workers to the limit and now they’re paying the price. This strike is on them.”

Workers will join the picket line from DBK4 in New York City; DGT8 in Atlanta; DFX4, DAX5, and DAX8 in Southern California; DCK6 in San Francisco; and DIL7 in Skokie, Ill. Amazon Teamsters at other facilities are prepared to join them.

Teamsters local unions are also putting up primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide. Amazon warehouse workers and drivers without collective bargaining agreements have the legal right to honor these picket lines by withholding their labor.

“What we’re doing is historic,” said Leah Pensler, a warehouse worker at DCK6 in San Francisco. “We are fighting against a vicious union-busting campaign, and we are going to win.”

Amazon is the second-largest corporation on the Fortune 500 list. Despite being worth more than $2 trillion, the company fails to pay its workers enough to make ends meet.

“Amazon is one of the biggest, richest corporations in the world,” said Gabriel Irizarry, a driver at DIL7 in Skokie, Ill. “They talk a big game about taking care of their workers, but when it comes down to it, Amazon does not respect us and our right to negotiate for better working conditions and wages. We can’t even afford to pay our bills.”

Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers have mobilized a movement and joined the Teamsters. They are fighting for higher wages, better benefits, and safer conditions at work.

“I’ve seen the Teamsters win big battles,” said Dia Ortiz, a worker at DBK4 in New York. “We’re ready to do what it takes to win this one.”

Before the headlines tomorrow morning:
Its not Arabs/muslims
Its not antizionist jews
its not progressives
its not misogynoir
its not bernie bros

This is Joe Biden & Kamala Harris' fault.
Its entirely the fault of people who wanted quiet more than justice.

Netanyahu made a bet nearly a year ago that Trump would win and in the meantime Biden would be too weak to stop his mass extermination campaign.

And that that weakness would help Trump.

Today, Netanyahu fired Biden’s ally Gallant, launched a major raid on the West Bank, and declared northern Gaza fully ethnically cleansed. His bet paid off. What did Democrats get for going along with the genocide?
