My dad just handed me this, we had trucks doxxing random Arab & Muslim students last year & it was considered normal. Zionists have repeatedly targeted us and we’ve had no protection from Columbia. Imagine if the roles were reversed.
Been thinking a lot about how in Oct 2023 Zionists tried to hunt down student organizers at Columbia, but we had hidden our identities. So they instead doxxed the boards of the MSA & Arab Students Association and put them on these doxxing trucks (& got me an entire YEAR later).
Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending. Just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion. This is not democracy. It is oligarchy. Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.
An excellent interview between Bernie Sanders and @TheNation's John Nichols.
Bernie Sanders is fed up with Democratic leaders, and candidates, who bow to the billionaire class. Sanders says in an exclusive interview that Democrats must run as bold champions of the working class — or face primaries and independent challenges. 1/4 thenation.com/article/politi…
the fact this is genuinely legal is really funny
You can find all this information and more in this article on the power of unionizing your brothers and sisters in the workplace: #Union #WorkersRights #Organize epi.org/publication/un…
A #Union: ✅️ Reduces white racial resentment (Frymer & Grumbach 2021) ✅️ Boosts political advocacy for worker empowerment/economic justice "Right to Work" laws lower: ✅️ voter turnout ✅️ labor contributions/mobilization, ✅️ working-class candidates
A #Union enhances workplace safety, ensuring: ✅️ health insurance, paid sick leave, safety equipment & protections for reporting hazards (Zoorob 2018; Amick et al. 2015) Right-to-work laws, which weaken unions: ✅️ are linked to a 14% rise in work fatalities (Zoorob 2018)
Sojourner and Pacas (2018) find that: ✅️ #union membership yields a positive “net fiscal impact”—or [...] unionized workers have more income and therefore pay more taxes ✅️ unionized workers use fewer public benefits. Y'know, fiscal responsibility.
States w/higher #union densities: ✅️ Passed significantly fewer restrictive voting laws vs the middle 17 (incl. DC) & 17 lowest-union-density states ✅️ 70%+ of low-union-density states passed at least one voter suppression law (2011–2019)
States w/highest #union densities: ✅️ uninsured pop. 4.5% lower (avg) than low-union-density states ✅️ all expanded Medicaid under ACA, protecting residents from the “coverage gap” ✅️ likelier to have passed paid sick leave, paid family, & medical leave laws
The 17 US states w/the highest #union densities: ✅️ min. wages are 19% higher than nat'l avg. & 40% higher than low-union-density states ✅️ median annual incomes $6k higher than national average ✅️ higher-than-average unemployment recipiency rates
From increasing wages and reducing wealth inequality to increasing government revenue and decreasing government spending... Here is a thread on the benefits of #workersorganizing a #union:
The Trib's Editorial Board (which now has a member of conservative think tank Illinois Policy Institute) published a hit piece demonizing teachers & presenting a false choice: fair compensation for an incredibly important job OR paid time off. @CTULocal1 fights for AND, not OR.
Kelly College Prep teachers joined @stacydavisgates & @CTULocal1 sibilings in the streets of downtown Chicago to demand a #FairContractNow! When the Board of ED, the Mayor, the District AND the Labor Union all agree on the #SchoolsOurStudentsDeserve - whats stopping @PedroCPSCEO?
Our schools are struggling to retain teachers, and students are paying the price. Half of all public workers in Illinois are on Tier 2, with benefits that are nowhere near what they deserve. Lawmakers, pass the Fair Retirement and Recruitment Act!
In case you don't know who these people are. Good to look into it. propublica.org/article/illino…
🚨LAWSUIT FILED🚨 on behalf of four @CTULocal1 members, demanding that the union produce an audit after failing to do so for FOUR YEARS. We are proud to stand with 25,000+ Chicago educators in their fight for accountability and transparency. CTU leadership must uphold its…
John Tillman is not someone we want deciding anything for our kids or schools! Good to publicize this excellent story from @propublica ! More info here: littlesis.org/person/48451-J…
🙋🏾♀️By my count: We picked up 4 more seats tonight . And, billionaires spent millions to get 3 out of 21… But the headline is 'not faring well for CTU?' Ok.🤷🏾♀️
Votes are still being counted in Chicago’s historic school board race, but it appears six Chicago Teachers Union candidates are poised to lose their races to pro-school choice/independent opponents. Three other CTU backed candidates are ahead; one ran unopposed.
