From the new AFL-CIO executive paywatch report: The average American CEO got a 7% raise last year, meaning he now makes 285 times more than his median worker. aflcio.org/paywatch
Workers are fed up with a system where greedy top CEOs make 285x what workers make. We don’t have to accept the current state of our country, where billionaires take more and more while working people live paycheck to paycheck. www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/b...
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
Not just bad political instincts, but bad values. Newsom and other corporate Dems just don’t care much about unhoused ppl, or healthcare for all. Newsom sure as hell doesn’t want to tax the rich.

While Wall Street executives rake in $1,769 an hour, the workers who help take care of our kids get paid less than parking lot attendants. That is crazy. No job is more important than raising our nation’s children. Child care workers deserve a living wage.
More than 700 SEIU health care workers at Butler Hospital won a new union contract through standing together and fighting back against the greed of our broken health care system. Unions raise wages, protect health benefits and improve patient care.
Cost of public college tuition: Sweden: $0 Norway: $0 Finland: $0 Denmark: $0 United States: $9,596 When Republicans say it's OK to give billions in tax breaks to the top 1%, don't tell me we can't afford to make public college available for free.

I don't think they will actually hide it for very long if he dies. Vance will be eager to seize the wheel. What would be rougher for them is a messy in-between stage of him decompensating, clearly unable to function, but of course unwilling to yield power.
We need to start having these conversations in Austin. You should be having them in your city too.

Here is a thread on how to make wheatpaste using only a few common household items!
Area wheatpaste artists doing tremendous work
No one likes these raids, no one wants this in our city. From day 1 people have been resisting this terror. Coalitions that predate June have worked tirelessly to protect immigrant pop. here, and also these strangers come together for a noise demo, a BBQ, a voter drive, and it’s inspiring frankly
Protestors have been occupying space outside the MDC for a month now. Day in and day out, 24/7, despite daily sweeps and targeted arrests by LAPD, DHS, and other agencies. They’ve been harassed and brutalized regularly, and they still show up
The amount of wheatpaste across the city right now is incredible. crimethinc.com/zines/field-...
Today’s side quest: sticking a whole bunch of these “How to Report ICE: DC Edition” zines in little free libraries around town. Has DC specific info & the @dcmigrantmutualaid.org hotline & guidance. Zines courtesy of @meganpiont.bsky.social, who has made a lotta these for a lotta states.
Scream at them everywhere they go. And the mayor who supports it.
This choice amidst an occupation partially premised on homelessness and Bowser’s openness to increased policing during a federal occupation really serves to highlight how bad the political instincts are at the top of the party.
Hi All! I just edited all of the zines so that they say to only ask for a name and birth date if you see someone being detained. Immigration lawyer @merlekahn.bsky.social has said that asking other questions can put people at risk. New zines reflect this update!

DC's night patrols watch over the city to ensure that people are protected from state violence, false arrest, abduction, and harassment. Failing that, they document the occupation forces' constitutional violations, write Dave Zirin and Chuck Modiano.
Chicago: Buckle up for the invasion. Save this graphic. We’re at your service. 🫡
It takes a lot of courage to organize. It also takes a lot of humility. To say, I can’t solve this problem or challenge this system by myself and I gotta work with others. And we don’t know if this is gonna work, but it’s worth trying.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
NEW: In Chicago, a Teamsters local is striking in part to protect against federal immigration authorities. “It brings a lot of fear to our workplace." If they win, they’ll be the first Teamsters local in the country to adopt this language. @sarahlazare.bsky.social in @prospect.org:

And maybe it's worth adding that both Maxwell's interview and the release of already-released materials are not offering information; they're part of the suppression.
Wrote this in 2010: "The widely told initial version of Hurricane Katrina was a lie and a slander, based on rumors and racism, and it’s been falling apart steadily ever since. For the past two years an antithetical version has been overtaking it...."
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Yesterday, HSI and MPD set up a checkpoint on Rhode Island Ave in DC. Neighbors stood on either end, holding signs saying “LA MIGRA ADELATE.” As HSI and MPD started to pack it up, residents told them, “we don’t think you’re good Americans” and “fuck you guys, go home.”
Look no farther than Louisiana if you want to understand the disproportionate impacts on Black and low-income communities of the growing weather extremes caused by GHG pollution.
The devastating flu epidemic of 1918 was particularly dangerous for young adults, for people in their prime, who died by the millions. But RFK Jr. is too stupid to know that. Link below.
This is a very long and very good thread and I hope it appears as an article of some sort, but read it in the meantime. Really smart stuff about why Democrats offering soft versions of Republican policy is a losing game in all possible ways.
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Good job, Americans!
I reported the post as misinformation after finding no corroboration for the claim. I hope others will do the same.
Bluesky discover is serving explicitly false, twitter-style bullshit accounts. There's no such Colbert deal, no explanation why this person would know this information, no real reason to claim this besides content farming.
What is the source for this claim? I can find no corroboration or evidence this happened.
With political tensions running high, the vast majority of congressional lawmakers steered clear of town halls this summer. The handful who entered the lion’s den were met with boos, jeers and tense confrontations.
CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
VICTIMS OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN AND GHISLAINE MAXWELL will be speaking to the public at a press conference on Wednesday, Sept 3rd at 10:30 AM EST at the House Triangle in Washington, DC. They will be calling for legislation to force Trump to release the Epstein files in full. Articles⬇️

You would think that documenting these effects - on farms, in meat-packing plants, in the garment industry, and restaurants would be a popular beat for reporters in MSM.
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
DNC leaders once again had the chance to take a stand on Gaza and failed. A resolution calling for an arms embargo against Israel has been voted down. Pathetic.

Friendly reminder that immigrant advocates have called for a full boycott of Home Depot. They are allowing ICE to raid at their stores AND are, as a corporation, huge Trump supporters. Please shop elsewhere—preferably at a mom and pop hardware store—if you possibly can.
Protect your community and stand with immigrant workers and customers. Help local businesses put up signs marking “Staff Only” areas that ICE cannot enter without a warrant. Together, we can slow ICE down: act.indivisible.org/...
Trump’s militarization of DC is not a one-off — it’s this regime’s test run for cities across the country. Every state and local leader should be preparing now to fight back. Use our toolkit to reach out to your local leaders (mayors, city councils, etc.) and demand action. 👇
