Congrats to nearly 400 more workers at Blizzard Entertainment for voting to form a union with @codecwa.bsky.social! With a stronger voice, they have the power to bargain for a contract that will set the standard for video game workers everywhere. #BetterInAUnion

Biden built an industrial policy. It was working. We were on a comeback. This Republican budget bill - which destroys the clean energy industry in the U.S. - is a choice to surrender to China.

Iran, Israel & the US are all run by people who don't care about the wellbeing of their citizens & who can't be trusted to tell the truth. Right now, I'm terrified for friends & family in shelters in Israel and for Iranian, US, and Israeli civilians who will suffer the consequences of this war (2/2)

This is a terrifying moment for the US & the Middle East. Yes, a nuclear Iran poses an existential threat to Israel & a major danger to the world. But the choice to go to war should not be taken lightly. 1) It is against the law for the president to do so w/o congressional declaration. (1/2)

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

FINALLY someonee dissects that EXTREMELY flawed poll that was jumped on by the extreme left and the extreme right! www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Wait, if the new Pope is from Chicago, is he going to declare ketchup on hot dogs a mortal sin?

Based on what I know about Prevost, it seems like I’m pleasantly surprised!

Prediction: the new Pope will be neither a liberal nor a conservative, but a bland moderate

Please vote for me and the Hatikvah Slate so we can make sure the funds and policies determined by the World Zionist Congress go to programs and activities that help Israelis and Palestinians thrive in a secure, pluralistic, democratic Israel. Voting is easy. See below to register and vote by May 4.

Fun fact: You don't gotta be a US citizen, just a legal permanent resident, to vote @hatikvahslate.bsky.social, slate #16, in the US election to the World Zionist Congress (zionistelection.org). Know someone who needs our platform in Hebrew - we got you covered! www.hatikvahslate.net/%D7%A2%D7%91...

"When you vote for Hatikvah Slate" writes Dario Teitelbaum from Israel, "you stand with us at Hostages Square [in Tel Aviv], demanding an immediate release of all the captives, at Ayalon Road, striving against the overturning of the judiciary." #votehatikvah, slate #16, at zionistelection.org!

A strong trade union movement improves the standard of living for all people. There is a reason why we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all or have paid family and medical leave. We must grow the trade union movement in the United States.

Thank you, @achaikof.bsky.social! @hatikvahslate.bsky.social, slate #16, is THE slate for expressing progressive, anti-occupation values at the World Zionist Congress. Vote now at zionistelection.org!

If you share my vision of a future where freedom, self-determination, and security are guaranteed for Palestinians and Israelis and believe that Jews of all backgrounds should be treated equally within our institutions, then I hope you join me in voting for the @hatikvahslate.bsky.social!

Thank you @fstepfer.bsky.social! We realize the 'Jerusalem Program' offers a mixed bag of values and that voters of various political stripes will identity more or less with various items. We appreciate your decision, since progressives need to compete for power & influence in every possible sphere!

Some folks are asking if voting against the CR will hurt litigation vs Trump because it will stop in a government shut down. No! It’s the opposite: a bad CR would hurt the litigation I discussed this morning @contrariannews.org

Ok, the Academy’s masterful tribute to Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson more than made up for its lazy Bond 60th Anniversary tribute (though I’m not sure anything will come close to the 1982 laser show). youtu.be/CPtU7jY2dME?...

“When tariffs are moderate and are used to complement a domestic investment agenda, they need not cause much harm; they can even be useful. When they are indiscriminate and are not supported by purposeful policies at home, they do considerable damage.” www.socialeurope.eu/trumps-trade...

Thank you, @achaikof.bsky.social! We're privileged to have you on our slate. Voting gets underway March 10, but please take a moment and pledge to #votehatikvah RN at www.hatikvahslate.net/join-us!

Big news everyone! I’m running for Congress! Specifically, the 2025 World Zionist Congress (WZC) in Jerusalem on the progressive, anti-occupation @hatikvahslate.bsky.social! #TogetherWeAreHope

My cartoon for Wednesday's Metro

"That is the tension at the heart of Trump’s whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him."

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW. Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze. Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

What looking at the list of snow-related closures in your thirties feels like. youtu.be/KTjrKnXx3dA?...

Not insignificant

1)Today, we lost a giant of man. No man did more further the cause of a just peace in the holy land than Jimmy Carter. Even after he left office, he continued to fight to fight for a free and independent Palestine and an Israel at peace with its neighbors in the face of intense opposition.

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now. The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country. The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

I grew up being told that corporate CEO's were fearless, bold and powerful. Now, I understand that many of them are pathetic, scared, cowards. That is something their money won't wash away.

Tariffs can be strategically applied to protect American industries. But the blanket tariffs Trump is proposing to slap on our largest trading partners will help fuel inflation. They could also invite retaliation, which would dry up export markets for U.S. companies.

If you shop at Kroger or Albertsons, the FTC just stopped your grocery prices from surging higher. FTC Chair Lina Khan is showing what it looks like for the government to work for working people.

All this!

Accurate:

AG nom Pam Bondi... -Didn't investigate Trump University for fraud as Florida AG after receiving a $25k donation from a Trump nonprofit -Served as lobbyist for massive corporations -Was part of Trump's impeachment defense team She's a walking, talking conflict of interest.

Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me. (confirming Natasha Korecki tweet) Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.

This cartoon is spot on.
