Right wing extremists have taken over an entire branch of government.
Six ideologues on SCOTUS are stripping away our rights one by one.
We can’t lose Congress to similar extremists in November.
Giving MAGA Republicans another branch will expedite America’s fall into fascism.

Its great that Starbucks is offering reproductive healthcare for their employees.
Too bad unionized employees are not entitled to these benefits along with other improved employee benefits.
You can't have it both ways Starbucks.

It’s a good thing the labor movement is on the rise.
In a post-Roe world, the importance of collective bargaining power has gone up dramatically.

Employers publicly committing to pay travel costs for abortion is far from a solution. Who wants to have that conversation with their boss? Will it be kept confidential? There is no substitute for the protection of a collective bargaining agreement + union.

My friend's son left a job that paid $10/hr to one that was $15/hr and then again to one that's $19/hr. And he's 18 years old. Without rent or utilities or childcare to pay for. What these companies want their employees to accept is ridiculously laughable & sad at the same time.
Employers complaining about a “labor shortage” should take a long look in the mirror.
It could be that you’re just a terrible employer.

You know you messed up when even the managers are struggling.
Starbucks needs to be held accountable for their workers poor treatment, wages, and union busting tactics.

Starbucks says that it will cover abortion travel but threatens not to for union workers. Every single human right is undermined by Starbucks' toxic and twisted union busting.

This past week has seen a repudiation of the court-based theory of change that has defined legal liberalism for several decades in the US: a theory that elite lawyers will always be able to use elite reasoning to persuade elite judges not to let things get out of hand.

The labor movement is currently perfecting the art of organizing, whether structure-based or momentum-driven. Its tactics aren’t new but modeled after histories of working women, people of color & abolitionists who built political power with strikes & boycotts, not just lawsuits.

SCOTUS just gave a green light to school prayer.
BTW, did you know that six of nine Justices attended Catholic high schools? huffpost.com/entry/supreme-c…

🚨THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF 2022🚨
There are so many vital races this year, but one truly stands out.
This 🧵explains why we must all pay attention to the election for Pennsylvania Governor, and why we must all help Josh Shapiro (@JoshShapiroPA) defeat Doug Mastriano.

Just a reminder that TFG tried to overthrow our government and carried out an attack on our Capitol. He was also the catalyst for SCOTUS overturning Roe.

JD Vance called overturning Roe v. Wade a “victory”.
Tim Ryan said "I proudly voted for the Women's Health Protection Act in the House, only to watch it die in the Senate."
Vote for @TimRyan - We need more Democrats in the Senate.

This doesn’t sound like a slip from someone who talks about Hitler approvingly. Even if it was, “white life” is clearly on her mind & is the direction she & the MAGA GOP want to take this country.

Not sure if this is when to bring this up. Abortion is 💯 at the forefront. As I shared, I had to have a medical abortion for ectopic pregnancy when I was 24.
I suffer from endometriosis. I also suffer from a connective tissue disorder so it is recommended I hold off on a
