Tired of paying $4, $5, $6 a gallon for gas. Here's why: 2nd Quarter Profits Exxon Mobil:⬆️280% to $17.9 billion Chevron:⬆️277% to $11.6 billion Conoco:⬆️146% to $5.1 billion End corporate greed. Enact a windfall profits tax. Redistribute the revenue to working class commuters.

Saudi Arabia's crown prince ordered the murder of a Washington Post columnist with a bone saw. Its disastrous war in Yemen has led to the deaths of 377,000 people and a humanitarian crisis. It’s now siding with Russia to damage our economy. Our support for Saudi Arabia must end.

CPS’ board almost never goes against a recommendation by the school district. In this case, over the firing of two activist teachers, it did. wbez.org/stories/outspo…

This pandemic has disproportionately impacted workers of color, disabled workers, and disabled workers of color. REAL is fighting to ensure that school and workplace policies accommodate the rights and needs of all.

REAL Caucus believes that an injury to one is an injury to all and so does our ruling body, the House of Delegates (HOD). Fully 75% of the delegates voted to protect the immunocompromised delegates by maintaining remote meetings.

This seems like such an easy fix and just generally the right thing to do.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. "I then asked what state help Pritzker had directly offered CPS. I was told the state had offered SHIELD tests, vaccination clinics and masks for the past several weeks. The city has not yet taken the state up on those offers." capitolfax.com/2022/01/07/cov…

My parents were brutally attacked at my grandmother’s house last Saturday evening, and I usually don’t put a lot out on Twitter, but we need help as they recover. Any and all thoughts, prayers, love, and/or financial support would be greatly appreciated🖤 gofundme.com/f/timothy-and-…

The family of every Chicago Public Schools student, regardless of income or citizenship status, is getting more than $450 in the mail this month — plus hundreds more in April — to support food expenses. 1 million Illinois students are set to get benefits chicago.suntimes.com/education/2021…


There's a reason for that: CPS parents are motivated by a concern for their children...if only that was the primary motivation for CPS and the mayor.

More than 92% of the 421 elementary and middle schools welcoming students back over the next week will be less than half full, and 42% will be less than a quarter full. "Of course, it will be remote learning from the classroom," a principal said. chicago.suntimes.com/education/2021…

This pandemic has laid bare one of the horrors of capitalism: bosses will let workers die in order to turn a profit. @CTULocal1 is showing us the power of a union to win safe working conditions. Join a union, form a union, and make your workplace safe.


Drew Heiserman Reposted

Some people in this town act like @CTULocal1, the City Council, and 125 LSCs are outliers for being concerned about the conditions under which schools re-open for in-person instruction. The opposite is true. Thanks to @ILRaiseYourHand for highlighting this stat the other day.

If @CTULocal1 hadn't fought back, @ChiPubSchools would be open right now w/some flimsy masks & a tub of disinfectant wipes. What we're winning: 😷 Improved ventilation 😷 Actual PPE 😷 Accommodations 😷 COVID testing plan 😷 Possible vaccination plan 😷 $10s of mil $$ for schls

The first question to President Joe Biden this afternoon is on the Chicago Teachers Union's standoff with Chicago Public Schools "I believe we should make school classrooms safe and secure," Biden says. "Teachers want to work, they just want to work in a safe environment."


Thanks @Yanazure

Janice Jackson says "if teachers apply for an accommodation bc of health, 100% of those were approved and will be approved." As of last week, multiple educators I was in touch with said they were still waiting for health-related accommodations, some in first round of return



23 Chicago Public Schools with cases of COVID and counting. And kids just returned this week. How much worse does it have to get before we admit this reopening "plan" is a mistake @ChiPubSchools ?
