When we don't know what to do, we should make life hard for the people who are making life hard for us. We're smart, conscientious, and motivated. We'll figure out what to do faster than they will.Their best move is arresting anyone who dares to stand up to them.

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.
Now she's a member of HTC.
Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

The Republican budget is going to wreck health care for 2 MILLION Californians. It will spike Covered California premiums by an average of 66% next year and drown many families in red tape. Republicans must admit they were WRONG and fix this before lives are upended.

5/ The bill cuts the help middle income Americans get to buy health care on the Affordable Care Act exchange.
A 60 year old couple making $85,000 (not a king's ransom) would see a $26,000 increase in health care premiums. Yes, that's right - $26,000.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

nclear corporate values or a lack of conviction, most recently seen through mass DEI walk-backs, can hinder reputation.

This is helpful. I need to know who to give my hard earned money to when I need something. I only want to support DEI commitments across the board.
