MAGA opposes free and fair elections because they don’t want working people to have the power to throw corrupt billionaire politicians out of office.
NEW: Republican attorney Eric Neff — who boasts a reputation of working with election-conspiracy theorists and who himself spread such theories — is replacing a veteran attorney with ties to Cleta Mitchell as the new acting chief of the voting section at the DOJ.

As tenant organizing levels up, so does its opposition. Great article, and for me it reinforces the idea that conditions may be right in many places to campaign for the statutory right of tenant unions to collectively bargain rents—thereby changing power-relations and the terrain of tenant struggle.
Tenant union members say they’ve faced threats, surveillance and retaliation from their private equity landlord, which has retained a notorious “union avoidance” firm.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Everyday Americans in Appalachia and the Southeast show that resisting ICE is becoming the rule, rather than the exception.

@surj.org Lansing Home Depot boycott! ❄️
A blizzard couldn’t stop our tiny-but-mighty crew of 5—we talked with shoppers, got tons of honks, and kept the pressure on.
Best part? A burly dude bought us hot chocolates at Tim Hortons & joined our chapter. Solidarity is what we build ❤️

ICE has been targeting day laborers in Home Depot parking lots all over the country, and Home Depot has stayed silent. This is unacceptable. If anyone is unsafe at Home Depot, then we are all unsafe.
