I dropped off Virginia Giuffre’s memoir for Speaker Johnson. If he actually reads it, maybe he’ll finally release the Epstein Files and stop covering for the powerful men who abused her.

Justice for Virginia and the hundreds of other victims is long overdue.

Starbucks knows where our union stands. They know our demands.

They need to finalize this contract & stop union busting before the holiday season begins... otherwise, we'll be ready.

Union baristas are calling on allies to STOP BUYING STARBUCKS if we go on ULP strike. If our communities stand with us in action, we can take back power from the billionaires & CEOs.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

This administration has the test miserably!

Eighty-eight years ago, in his Second Inaugural Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt told America that “the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

The 3 districts facing the highest premium hikes if ACA tax credits expire are all Republican-led districts:

WY: +693%
WV-01: +654%
WV-02: +599%

Republicans would rather abandon their constituents than work with us to reopen the government and protect their health care.

The Good Neighbor Policy, in part, was to strengthen the hemisphere to resist the fascist powers of Europe.

Consider the likely impact of Trump’s actions on the attitudes of Western hemisphere leaders toward China.

Align with Trump’s interests, not with US interests.
