Come work with me! Our union is hiring an organizer to build power among biomedical workers (think: doctors, nurses, PAs, public health researchers, etc.) in NJ. We're fighting for a healthcare & education system that puts people > profit.
DM me with questions!

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...
RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
A worker was killed. Dozens detained.
Dr. Jonathan Caravello, A CSU faculty member and US citizen, was brutalized & disappeared by ICE for observing.
Trump’s ICE thugs are escalating terror in our communities. Release them ALL.

Trying to overturn a democratically-elected left-wing president in the Global South is pretty much the most normal American president (derogatory) thing Trump has done so far!
TRUMP'S BIG UGLY BILL: • Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR • Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world • Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans • Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits • Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs • Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history
The Senate will soon vote on Trump’s Tax Scam, which would gut Medicaid and SNAP to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.
Call your GOP senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Or send an email if you can’t get anyone on the phone: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...
If you have a R senator, seriously call their office tomorrow & say vote against this bill. Say you don’t wan’t three times the budget of NASA going into a sprawling immigrant detention infrastructure. That you don’t want to kick folks you know off Medicaid. That you don’t want solar taxed. reps.fyi
The idea that California — home to Silicon Valley & Hollywood — can’t raise taxes on the rich to fund Medicaid for all poor residents is absurd.
Balancing a budget by taking away healthcare from the most vulnerable isn’t “responsible.” It’s social murder.

Sounds like the nationwide injunctions on noncompete agreements, student debt relief, the COVID vaccine mandate, and much more are all lifted now? Or wait is this only that nationwide injunctions aren't allowable for Republican policies?

These 37 House Dems agree with Republicans that an adult international student sitting in a parked car with a can of beer should be deported.
I'm not being sarcastic. That is what the bill they voted for would do.

"The federal agency tasked with helping military family members gain legal status now refers them for deportation, government memos show."
There is no other word for this than evil. They are perverting systems designed to help people in order to meet harmful, irrational quotas.
Judge Farbiarz finds there are extraordinary circumstances here, and no flight risk or danger to community. Also the punishment claim is substantial enough to justify release. He orders Mahmoud Khalil RELEASED ON BAIL.
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.
This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.
All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year.
It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.
Some days I feel like we are no different from people who lived thousands of years ago, that everyone was dealing with the same challenges of imperfect people trying to build a decent society...
And other days I'm like "huh so marital rape was illegal in some states until 1993."

Many people are “anti-immigrant” in theory but pro-immigrant when it comes to their own neighbors and coworkers.
Instead of running to the right on immigration, Dems should lift up stories like Carol’s and make the affirmative case for immigrant rights.

I’m finding two bits of centrist punditry hard to reconcile:
1. Liberals are too pedantic and condescending; and
2. Liberals are failing to put forward a values-driven framework for how people (particularly men) should live their lives.
Which is it??
Horrifying. This decision will hurt millions of pregnant women nationwide. Without a CDC recommendation, insurance often doesn’t cover vaccines. So this policy will deny people healthcare on account of their pregnancy, effectively a form of sex discrimination:

We should call the Trump admin's attack on international students (and maybe also international postdocs) at Harvard what it is: an attempted mass firing of UAW workers.
Dems in Congress must fight back.

Heartbreaking essay from our colleague & fellow @haw-uaw.bsky.social union member, unjustly imprisoned since February: “I hope that the judge rules Wednesday that I can be released, so I can return to my lab. There is a data set that I’m halfway finished analyzing. I want to go home and finish it.”
Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption.
Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
“Employers, not workers, make hiring, firing and scheduling decisions. Last year, over 20 million workers were laid off or fired…if we tie [Medicaid] eligibility to work, they will…[lose] health care…because of decisions their employers made…”

"My union organized on behalf of me and other international students with so much effort, love, and care." Rümeysa Öztürk 😭😭🥰
I watched the live broadcast. Rumeysa is out. A great day for justice, though it doesn't undue the cruelty authoritarianism of her original arrest and detention.
