Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Where can I get a Duckens Nazon jersey? Paraphrased: there are Haitians with nothing in their pockets. We can make them cry with joy. At a minimum. They are counting on our feet.

In October alone, my office helped return nearly $800,000 to Massachusetts workers. We’re fighting to make sure that companies follow our labor laws and that every worker gets the wages they’re owed.

I only follow The Guardian on here but skeets about Dirty Donald are overwhelming my feed. I am not feeling it. I am an OG Brooklynite and we told y'all. Now we gotta hear about pedophiles 24/7 for TEN-FIFTEEN YEARS. I've been over it.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

I've been sitting on this and trying not to leak but... It's us. We were one of the 80+ :) financialpost.com/pmn/more-tha...

Guess what? You can take 30 seconds to send a letter to your City council member to support @nycplan.org's demand to increase and stabilize funding for our public libraries. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

I need to hear French people pronounce Ghislaine like yesterday. I damn well know it's not Ghee-lane and hearing Americans pronounce it Ghee-lane is like nails on chalkboard. I have not been mispronouncing my sister's name all of my life.

We launched our year-end fundraising drive one week ago. Our goal was $65,000 by 12/31, to keep up quality of our work, incl. commissioning translations & fact-checks. We got ≈33% of the way in one week! 🎉 Thanks! If you want to support us, especially after this busy week, it's still a great time:

I thought the neighbor that has some kind of seasonal affective disorder would let us sleep. Nope. Their family blocked her car and she's out there right now blowing on the horn. Been at it for hours. Hope no one calls the police.

Yikes. (What happens when you another trial before the same judge?)

No one has said this yet but Schumer, Jeffries and Democratic Party Inc. can't embrace Mamdani like y'all want. Mamdani and the other newbies are DSA and WFP. DSA and WPF are equivalent to the Tea Party Movement for the Democratic Party. If they're under the big tent, the Ds go the way of the GOP.

Any insight on why Mamdani chose a venue in Brooklyn as his election night HQ? I just assumed they would have chosen a venue in Queens.

It's been a minute since Obama Night. Where the clubs at?

Brooklyn keeps its crown for another year.

Hope people believe a criminal defense attorney: aluminum foil is cheaper than a Faraday bag. Not cute but works just as well. #NoKings

Cuomo is 67 and he's only now realizing it was nepotism and privilege that got him all he's got. Kinda late for an existential crisis. I hope Sandra Lee is having an extra good weekend.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Malcolm Jamal Warner becoming an ancestor at 54 just blows.

As someone whose day job is in activist/organizing spaces, I'm finding I have to limit my online consumption of activist stuff. Otherwise, it's totally overwhelming. We are playing a long game, and there is no return to normal. So it's important to take care of yourself as much as possible.

I've obtained a trove of leaked documents about today's federal crackdown on Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. One revelation is its codename: "Operation Excalibur"

Someone messaged me today and told me that my book was the best book they read this year. Friends: I’m telling you - PUT THAT THING/CONTENT OUT! IT’S GONNA CHANGE LIVES!

We lost the legendary Phyllis Hyman 30 years ago today. Gordon Chambers, who worked closely with her, joined me to reflect on her legacy and share personal stories. Watch the clip below and listen to the full interview on the SiriusXM app. youtu.be/jJ9nZcYPIsE

WHOA. Sit with this excerpt. When ICE arrested the 75-year-old who died in their custody, he had a dog with him, Chulo, whose previous owner had already been taken by ICE. ICE officers left Chulo loosely tied outside the humane society. He then got free and was hit by a car.

Seeing some posts referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as being "kept safe" in jail. No one is safe in jail, fam. Incarceration strips years off people's lives and manufactures premature death. It's very important to understand this, especially now.

Quelle surprise!

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

This is a cavalier 'shrug off' response — but it's an abysmal reality that people are held and dying in horrid conditions across US prisons & jail. That's happening under the supervision of sheriffs, wardens, DOCs and governors of all and any party. A brief 🧵 of some instances to know about.

My man pulled out the sak pase. Impressive.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Thank you to everyone who stood with us today, in person and around the world online. Together, we sent a powerful message: America is not okay with this happening on U.S. soil.

There are still a few more days left in Pride, so I just want to take a moment to let everyone know that my book about lingerie, In Intimate Detail, is gender-neutral and contains intimate apparel advice for trans folks, disabled folks, and other communities. Available wherever books are sold! 🌈

The people going on and on about "they're going to cancel elections" are getting on my last nerve. Constitutional rights are the supreme law of the land. You give it up; no one takes it away. Catalonia voted in their living rooms. #DoNotComplyInAdvance

I am still stumped about this ranked choice voting thing. If people voted a slate to block Cuomo how did he slide into the number two spot? Was it because people voted for him in the number one slot? Did those people not rank anyone else? So confused.
