[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The Trader Joe's union (@TraderJoesUnite) has filed what appears to be the first charge under the recent NLRB ruling that says if a union demonstrates majority support and bosses proceed to union-bust, the board can scrap the election and force the company to negotiate.

BREAKING: 150,000 members of United Auto Workers have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike.

With 97% voting yes, the @UAW now has the power to strike at Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis.

The autoworkers could launch this massive strike as soon as September 15th.

Allen v. Milligan (2023)

[YDSA @YDSA_]

Last year, 45,000+ student workers were part of union drives on their campus. This summer, 350,000 Teamsters at UPS are fighting for a new contract. Now it’s time for YOU to bring the fight to your workplace.

Join us on June 21 @ 8:30pm ET to get involved in this labor uprising.

[Atlanta DSA @atldemsoc]

Emergency responder and Atlanta DSA member makes it clear: First responders who are not police stand nothing to gain from Cop City. Vote NO!

[Atlanta DSA @atldemsoc]

The @ATLSolFund has provided essential bail and legal support for protestors for years. These arrests are outrageous and intended to suppress political dissent. The Solidarity Fund organizers should be released immediately.

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

.@aldemocrats are feuding over the proposed bylaws, which would eliminate the youth, LGBTQ+, and disabled caucuses and give the Chair the sole power to appoint new committees. There are voting members outside who are told they can't come in because they didn't pay a $50 fee.

Hear us out... 👀

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Karl Marx was born on this day in 1818. His work helps us not only understand capitalism, but fight for a world free of exploitation and domination. It remains relevant today. 🧵

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Jordan Neely was murdered.

But bc Jordan was houseless and crying for food in a time when the city is raising rents and stripping services to militarize itself while many in power demonize the poor, the murderer gets protected w/ passive headlines + no charges.

It’s disgusting.

The fascists will continue to try and silence our voices, but they will never succeed. Solidarity with the people of Montana and everywhere else our LGBTQ+ comrades are under attack. 🌹✊️

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

My statement on the Montana GOP's undemocratic decision to ban me from debate on the House floor:

Today I stood unwaveringly in defense of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself. And I pledge to always do so.

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

Blaze is now a democratic socialist y'all🌹

[Middle Tennessee DSA 🌹 @MidTNDSA]

Th government has already destroyed our city council, now they’re expelling elected representatives. TN is a weathervane for everyone else in the country that’s controlled by the GOP: they will do this to you too. You can’t appeal to them. You cannot rely on electoralism anymore

[Birmingham DSA🌹 @BhamDSA]

Congratulations to our neighbors to the North, @DSANorthAlabama, for being approved by our National organization as an *official* DSA chapter!

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

For my latest @TeenVogue column, I profiled the Union of Southern Service Workers, a revolutionary new worker-led union.

"Our goal is to transform our underpaid, unlivable, unsafe service jobs into good union jobs,” @RaiseUptheSouth's Jamila Allen says.
