Starbucks workers are on strike! Tell Starbucks management that union-busting is bad for business. Sign the @sbworkersunited.org "No Contract, No Coffee" pledge and do not cross a picket line by! 📝 nocontractnocoffee.org

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

CDC employees are walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USANotRFK

the republican party hates public goods and wants to force feed you and your family slop produced by its billionaire allies

If this is how the IDF treats American citizens traveling with media attention, it brings even more credibility to the reports of their abuses of Palestinian civilians. I stand in solidarity w/ my brother Chris, the civilians in Gaza and all working towards peace and dignity for all. End this horror

Reading through some of the top comments on the NYTs latest story about Zohran Mamdani

hey this sounds like pretty good stuff here fox news thank u for the summary

The First Amendment is not a suggestion. Mahmoud is free, and our fight for justice continues.

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son.

We feed you. They hunt us.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

We call for the immediate release of our brother David Huerta of @seiuca.bsky.social from ICE custody & demand any pending charges against him be dropped. Pres Huerta was exercising his 1st amendment rights & advocating for working people when he was violently assaulted by masked ICE agents 1/4

So incredibly proud of the United AFA negotiating committee, @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, our @afacwa.org staff who worked tirelessly on this, and every single union sibling and passenger who came out to support!!!

Middle seat queens. From Atlanta to Chicago, we’re on the go for 60,000 Flight Attendants. Union time. Let’s go.

Data generated by the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory has helped to successfully avoid a repeat of a 2014 crisis in Toledo, Ohio, when nearly half a million people were warned to not drink the water or even touch it. By @annaleighclark.bsky.social‬

NEW: Columbia pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi walked out of court today after a judge ordered his immediate release from ICE detention. His words to Trump: "I am not afraid of you." w/ Liz Crampton www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

BTW majority of American voters know what "oligarchy" [See @dataforprogress.org poll] ... it's Slotkin who is out of touch and out of sync with the majority. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/3/...

Journalists @thehill.com learned that one of their own was fired to appease Trump and stop a lawsuit. Nexstar, which owns The Hill, is gutting nonpartisan reporting, planning to lay off 30% of the newsroom, and caving to political pressure. We stand with The Hill Guild. Read their statement below:

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

reagan/bush judges: "this administration's shocking arguments would reduce the rule of law to lawlenssness" neocons: abolish ICE david brooks: communist manifesto Dem leadership, top liberal consultants/pundits: the latest NYT/Ipsos has Trump up +4 on immigration, +9 with noncollege men

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

hey man what if instead of doing eugenics and attempting to eradicate autistic people we just invested deeply in the social safety net so that autistic children AND adults had the resources they needed to thrive

We will lose cures that would be seen in the next 10-20 years. Many med schools will close. Junior faculty will exit. Education will get more expensive. Faced with 40% less funds, 40% less science yr after yr, worse every yr. This is catastrophic damage to science and health innovation

If we want to retain even a shred of the things that are actually good about the United States, then these guys will have to be tried and held responsible for their actions. They can never again play any role in public life, and we have to attack the conditions that made them possible.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

it's wild that today ICE was just like, "we're the thought police" unironically

They are doing this to people here legally and will absolutely start doing this to citizens too.

When the head of ICE starts talking about how great it would be to have Amazon Prime for shipping human beings to a concentration camp in El Salvador that no one ever leaves, you’ve gone way past “it could never happen here.”

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Now playing: Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

“The cuts to maternal health programs may serve a second purpose for Republicans. Such programs have come under fire in some conservative states, in part because the experts involved investigate deaths that could have been prevented with abortion services…”

This year’s 52nd Annual Board of Directors Meeting will be held on 4/5/2025 in Orlando, FL. AFA LEC Presidents from each of our 20 AFA represented airlines, MEC Officers, International Officers, and members will join together for an in-person meeting.

If I am in any secret signal chats I’m not confirming shit

Real ones know to set the signal chat to 1 day disappearing

imagine being given a front row seat to the inner workings of an authoritarian regime led by the worst people alive and then hurriedly removing yourself because it’s not “appropriate”

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

“I think it’s going to be painful for a little bit as they find their footing, and we’re going to take advantage of that,” Spirit CEO Ted Christie said of the changes coming to Southwest. via @lesliejosephs.bsky.social

The millennial insistence to say bbbyyyyeeeeee

Southwest, for decades, saying its core to their identity and the main reason passengers won’t defect to other airlines: “Bags fly free.” Southwest when an activist investor comes knocking:

We should reject outright the framing that the answer is to cut spending, that it needs to be cut. Even giving in to that is playing into conservatives’ hands, letting them set the edges of the debate.

The whole thing is amazing and absolutely worth watching until the end. But @meredithmeredith.bsky.social gave the best pitch for @signal.org answering if there are any downsides of using it: "No-none! It's free, classy and we're not shoving and weird #AI shit into it." 🤣 👏

2020: attacks on “BLM” 2022: attacks on “CRT” 2024: attacks on “woke” 2025: attacks on “DEI” BLACK. THEY MEAN BLACK.
