I will never understand people on the left who give in to doomerism. Yes, there are awful forces at play globally and yes the system is stacked in favour of the wealthy. But that doesn’t mean that humanity should be abandoned. Thinking that is the fastest way to lose.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

At a time when politicians should be focused on lowering costs and supporting working families, they are instead targeting queer and trans people—using them as political props in a cynical strategy to divide the country.

BREAKING: VA Gov Abigail Spanberger just vetoed a bill that would ban ICE from making warrantless arrests inside of courthouses. VA Dems have the House, the Senate, and the Governorship. They have all the power and still under a Corporate Centrist Democrat, align with fascist ideology.

once again thinking of the b-1 battle droid from Boston, Massachusetts

DRAG ME ... all the way to the free doctor. There's a reason DSA and National Nurses United have endorsed this candidate (along with Bill McKibben climate change activist). And before you say it, no I wasn't paid for this. Come on California, we deserve this and so much more.

Touch-a-Truck is one of the biggest days of the year for many a transportation- construction- and infrastructure-loving set of kids. Not that I’m speaking from experience ;-) (1/2)

For decades, @rbreich.bsky.social has been a fierce advocate for working people. I am honored to have his support to bring our progressive coalition together down the home stretch. His case: robertreich.substack.com/p/tom-steyer...

If you like how things are going in California and how much everything costs, I’m not your candidate. If you think we need real change, I’m your guy.

A friend in an alleyway

Union hotel housekeepers in New York City will soon make over $100,000 a year. A new contract the union and the owners of nearly 250 hotels would raise wages by more than 50%. If workers ratify the deal it'll mean life-changing money for 27,000 union members and their families.

Three are dead at the Islamic Center of San Diego in an act of violent hatred. Anti-Muslim bigotry is real and rising. It must never be normalized or accepted, no matter how many politicians and pundits traffic in it. Solidarity with the victims' loved ones and community.

I have prayed at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Like me, the Muslim-Americans who were targeted today pray for peace, for the future of their kids, for a better tomorrow. That’s what we all hope and pray for. 1/

Quick reality check. THIS is why we need #UnionsForAll!

When your CEO says “You don’t need a union, we’re family.” 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Guilty as charged 😂 #UnionsForAll

Could Los Angeles be a city that never sleeps? Rae says yes! 🪩🌛 Right now, our nightlife struggles to thrive in a city where public transit shuts down early and noise ordinances, permitting, and LAPD enforcement drive events underground.

It happens in community, choosing connection over fear and refusing to look away. We believe in a world where everyone is safe, celebrated, and free. And we will never stop fighting for that world.

36 years later, the rights, safety, and humanity of LGBTQ+ people remain under attack. In legislation, classrooms, and rhetoric that normalizes hate. But hate is not innate. It is taught. And what is taught can be unlearned. Through education, honest conversations, and the stories we share.

It's International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. On May 17th, 1990, the World Health Organization declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. That pivotal moment brought us closer to a world rooted in truth and justice. There's still so far to go.

Neighborhood growth should strengthen the community that’s already here. Small businesses, local culture, and neighbors must always be considered in the face of impending change. 📢🌞

1/ Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, New Democrats stand proudly with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in Canada and around the world.

We destroyed Iraq. We destroyed Afghanistan. And the people behind all that destruction, all that killing, the people who sent me to war are still in power. Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles from home.

On this International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia: "We envision a world where homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia no longer exist. Where all queer people are loved, respected, celebrated, and free." It's quite simple 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Dwayne Bensing, legal director of the ACLU of Delaware, says he’s running to confront corporate influence and defend civil rights.

the murder of juniper blessing is a horrifying reminder of the campaign of violence being waged by the most powerful against the vulnerable and the environment of hate being encouraged on all sides of the political spectrum

If anyone is still wondering why working people across industries want #UnionsForAll

The NDP is the party of labour. We will always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with workers.

Doris Matsui is telling her SuperPACs to run ads promoting the Republican in their race because @cmmaivang.bsky.social has so much momentum, Matsui might not even make top 2. Mai is taking no corporate $, supports M4A, and ending aid to Israel. Donate to her: secure.numero.ai/contribute/M...

TOTAL RECALL (1990)

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

The legal challenge comes after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Colorado conversion therapy ban.

Voting rights are workers’ rights, and we refuse to accept any state legislatures undermining the voices of working people. TOMORROW: Join America’s unions, civil rights advocates and allies in Alabama for a day of action for voting rights! https://www.mobilize.us/aflcio/event/954089/

There are actions popping up all across the country, and thousands confirmed to show up. Find an event near you:

I reject austerity. There's enough for all of us. I reject the "commonsense" scarcity bullshit espoused sometimes even by people who call themselves Leftists. There's enough for every single person to live in dignity.

I would like to hear a 2028 presidential candidate say, “Americans are safer when other countries have the means to employ and take care of their people without being forced into austerity.”

Tired: 🥴 Democratic Socialists balancing the budget 🥴 Wired: 🔥 Democratic Municipal Finance 🔥

We’re fighting to win #UnionsForAll to: ✅ Build worker power; ✅ Make a living wage. MONEY. POWER. RESPECT.

Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.
