An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Today’s ruling from the International Court of Justice affirming the right to strike under international law is a major victory for workers everywhere. The freedom to withhold one’s labor is a fundamental human right.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

A Florida wildlife biologist was summarily fired for *reposting* an Instagram joke about Charlie Kirk’s death. LibsofTikTok complained. A state official’s false statements in legal proceedings led to sanctions. And now the state will settle by paying her $485,000. www.aclufl.org/press-releas...

I wonder what this internally logical change would do to the answers here www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism — the @thebaltimorebanner.com & new @post-gazette.com owners — have made it clear they're all too eager to run up this tab just like the Amazons, Starbucks, and Delta Airlines of the world.

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

Trump's massive union busting attempt toward federal workers faces another loss in court Department of Veteran Affairs lost their appeal today to rescind the collective bargaining agreement for VA workers as a lawsuit proceeds against the VA's attempt to terminate the union contract

seems like jared polis thought this would make him look like an enlightened and humane centrist instead of a dumbass

The REI anniversary sale begins today, and America’s unions are standing with @reiunion.bsky.social workers throughout this boycott. It’s past time for REI to stop union-busting and reach a new contract. Show your solidarity and don’t shop at REI during their anniversary sale through May 25!

The magic diet pill snake oil salesman wants you to believe there is all this Medicaid and Medicare fraud and he's going to do anything about it

"During the Jim Crow era, Virginia banned public sector collective bargaining in 1948 in response to a group of Black workers organizing a union at the University of Virginia hospital."

The Trump administration’s Department of Labor just officially prevented millions of working people from getting overtime pay. Yet again, this admin sided with corporate greed over workers.

Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger vetoed a bill that would have restored collective bargaining rights for public sector workers in Virginia, remedying a Jim Crow era ban. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is the laugh line, in case you're curious: "Over the course of his decades-long tenure at Cornell, President Kotlikoff has conveyed his strong belief that with freedom, particularly freedom of speech, comes responsibility." Compare: www.cornellsun.com/article/2025...

Cornell just released this statement from its committee of Trustees investigating the incident where the President ran over a student's foot with his car. The statement extols the President and blames the students.

Trump is a liar who constantly peddles conspiracy theories, and he's a baby that lashes out at anyone who doesn't fawn over him like a dictator. He should be ashamed of himself claiming a reporter is "treasonous" for doing their job. Every reporter should condemn this. It is disgusting.

Millions of Americans live in poverty and SNAP provides a modicum of assistance to alleviate the hunger that comes with that. Kicking 4.5 million people off of SNAP isn't good news. That hunger doesn't go away just because the Trump admin halted surveying hunger, it just shows they don't care

Again her own agency disputes Rollins' false claims about fraud, which is just a smokescreen to enact more cuts to SNAP www.fns.usda.gov/snap/usda-ef...

Our new polling shows more than 90% of working people want job and privacy protection from AI, and overwhelmingly trust unions, not Big Tech or either political party, to deliver those protections for them. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/12/workers-ai-policy-unions

1/4 Together with other UN experts, I addressed both the #US government and #Starbucks directly over a systematic, four-year union-busting campaign against workers who chose to organize. Over 12,000 Starbucks employees have unionized. The company's response has been retaliation.

But don't listen to me, listen to Virginia unions myemail.constantcontact.com/Gov--Spanber...

Howard Schultz falsely claimed a $15 minimum wage would cause job losses in 2014 when Seattle raised the min wage. Now he's hemming and hawing over a proposed tax on millionaires www.knkx.org/business/201...

We asked @propublica.org's board to agree to a fair contract. Chair Paul Sagan replied that they support management, whose last offer includes weak job security, minimal guardrails on AI & wages that don’t keep up w/ rising costs. We know you stand with us. Tell Mr. Sagan: shorturl.at/MkUbQ
