this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Washington Post management let us know they will NOT voluntarily recognize our union and are refusing to meet with Tech Guild leaders about election details. This is unacceptable.
Today, we held a picket in partnership with our Post Guild colleagues to demand that the company listen to us.

I have a lot of respect for Fain but this is a colossal mistake.
Putting aside that these tariffs as proposed are going to do deep and irreparable harm to workers around the world, this is such a political error. We need discipline in vocally opposing everything the regime supports

yeah those innocent brown people who were murdered don’t matter as much as the republicans doing exactly what any reasonable person would assume they’re doing! are you fucking kidding me lol the coverup can be bad without minimizing the WAR CRIME
As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.
Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.
At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.
