Maine's Dem Gov. Janet Mills recently sided with Republicans to veto Democratic legislation to let workers "discuss pay and working conditions with other workers." Following the veto, national Democratic leaders recruited her to run for U.S. Senate. https://t.co/yziGq60xjd

Jesus effing Christ...this is terrifying and infuriating.
They're starting to build massive "involuntary treatment" centers for unhoused people. Concentration camps for the crime of being poor and sick. https://t.co/4pRO6jHx30

AIPAC's brand has become so toxic that the group is now telling members to donate directly to candidates. They are hoping this new tactic will help conceal who they are backing. Too bad, we're still tracking it!

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

The best way to understand what we’re living through is as an extended repeat of the dismantling of reconstruction. The liberal reforms of the civil rights era lasted longer than reconstruction, but were also less sweeping. They too are now being swept away

Every human has a right to withhold their labor when that labor is being exploited by capitalism. Alberta's teachers are pushing back against: -overcrowded classrooms -inadequate resources for special education students -insane workloads This bootlicker 👇 can fuck right off 🖕
Unions don't have any right to shut down a major function of society. We don't live in an unelected dictatorship of unions. It's time teachers get back to work. Thankful for Smith right now.

The South Carolina Lt. Governor joins Ralph Norman in supporting eliminating Jim Clyburn's district. Expect this to become a litmus test for Republican candidates for Governor. https://t.co/8e8bDjQlJf

Cutting SNAP funding will not only starve people, it will devastate the economy. For every $1 spent on SNAP, $1.50 goes back into the economy. The people going hungry will suffer first, but the ripple effects will be enormous.
