Another win for the people: Gavin Newsom signed AB288! The law states that if the NLRB fails to respond to petitions to vindicate the rights of workers, then the CA Public Employment Relations Board can take up the matter - this is particularly important for ULPs! legiscan.com/CA/text/AB28...

"no more superficial individual expression"

Awesome isn't it? What he's saying is so bad you don't even notice the chyron. It's all pure hell. He's lying about the need for layoffs but any Dem pretending there's a reason to negotiate should be considered GOP at this point. They're gonna fire those people anyway. They clearly have a list.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

This is absolutely a lie. There is no reason shutdowns trigger layoffs. They never have before. Trump is simply using the shutdown as an excuse to take federal employees hostages and to further gut the government. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/shutdown-h...

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

The whole “it’s the left’s fault the right supports censorship” bullshit is rubes and propagandists trying to save face for being useful idiots or willing accomplices for the greatest censorship campaign since the red scare. Otherwise they’d have to admit to being wrong bsky.app/profile/jeff...

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up 90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far
