Here's GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's district, #LA04.

Over 38,000 of his constituents are enrolled in #ACA exchange coverage, plus another 140,000 in Medicaid via ACA expansion.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

Really heartening news. A full vote of the entire 9th circuit vacates the opinion reversing Immergut in Portland case.The entire court will now hear it. Immergut opinion is quite important b/c it applies deference but still finds can’t let Trump have his way when that is “untethered to the facts.“

Billionaires like Jeff Yass and Elon Musk are pouring money into Pennsylvania to rig our courts, redraw our maps, and rewrite the rules in their favor. Don’t let them buy our democracy.

AI video has improved rapidly in recent months. There is no doubt it will be used to further right-wing propaganda. Digital literacy is going to become even more essential. Being informed is not passive. It's a constant, active process. Stay alert. Stay educated. Don't fall for alt-right propaganda.

Regardless of citizenship, we all have certain unalienable rights under the Constitution, including the right to remain silent, the right to refuse to open your door if #ICE comes without a warrant, and the right to an attorney.

Unfortunately the warnings were ”being cops” and “having tear gas”
A federal judge ordered federal agents last week to issue two warnings before using tear gas.

Witnesses said they heard no warnings and none can be heard on videos, @chicago.suntimes.com reports
