Most Latinos keep self-identifying as Democratic voters. Most blame Republicans for the shutdown, feel the negative effects of economic & immigration policies on their families. Over 11% of bilingual Latinos who voted for Trump already regret it after less than 10 months back in government.

Over the past 5 years the wealth held by the top 0.1% has nearly doubled from $12 trillion to over $23 trillion.

Today we honor #LarryItliong, a fearless Filipino American labor leader whose vision and courage helped ignite the farmworker movement. His story reminds us of what is possible when communities come together for fairness and dignity on the job.

Rest in Power Miss Major.

I was so fortunate to profile Miss Major for SF Weekly.

From her political education from the leaders of the Attica prison uprising and getting knocked out by a cop at Stonewall to performing in the Jewel Box Revue and founding TGIJP, she led an extraordinary life.

Video Firings of immigration judges are 'politically motivated': Union president IFPTE union president Matt Biggs discusses the impact that the Trump administration's firing of immigration judges is having on the court system.

"Whether this Administration likes it or not, immigrants in this country are entitled to due process. When they don't get a fair shake from an independent judge in immigration court, they're being denied due process." — Matt Biggs, President of IFPTE @ifpte.bsky.social

The Hand That Rocks The Gavel - This American Life A group of immigration judges, who almost never speak to the press, describes the dismantling of our immigration court system from the inside.

Calling for genocide of poor people is political violence.

Fox News host calls for homeless people to be killed in a country where many working people struggle to afford rent, food + healthcare + nearly half the country would be made homeless by a large rent increase. fortune.com/2023/05/23/i...

ICE just killed an immigrant at a traffic stop outside Chicago while simultaneously tear gassing protesters ALL IN ONE DAY and the entire timeline is still massive accounts talking about the Kirk shooting and Pritzker scaring Trump off

Literally what the fuck is wrong with all of you

Political violence.

This is class solidarity.

In case you’re at all confused.

cactuscloudsart: Today I discovered a woman called “Angie the ICE Chaser” on TikTok and she literally just follows ICE vehicles in her car. They become increasingly erratic in their attempts to lose her (breaking so many laws on camera) and they never do. She is single handedly striking terror into ICE agents across LA. She also follows them through neighborhoods honking her horn and shouting “THEY ARE ICE!” out her window. There is a GFM for gas money and the legal fees she is fully expecting to come around.

Who needs Superman when heroes like this walk among us?

Whether through indifference, incompetence, or political calculation, these leaders have allowed atrocities to unfold slowly, often being paid by the Israeli lobby to provide political cover for Israel’s war crimes.

Now, ICE has conducted multiple site visits to assess reopening this site for immigrant detention. We cannot let this happen. Not here in the Bay, not anywhere. #ICEOutOfDublin

Chances are, you've heard a lot about the Abundance movement lately.

But the real question we should be asking is, "Abundance for whom?"

Headline 1, "Americans are losing spending power, say researchers: Most can no longer afford a 'minimal quality of life.'" Headline 2, "The 10 richest Americans got $365 billion richer in the past year. Now they're on the verge of a huge tax cut."

The United States summed up in two headlines.

Death Spiral: Republicans' Medicaid cuts threaten the health care of all Americans-even people on private insurance. 1) Medicaid cuts cause millions to lose health care 2) People without coverage can't pay for the care they need 3) Rural hospitals lose significant revenue 4) Health care workers are laid off, rural hospitals close 5) Entire communities lose health care services

They betrayed us. President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans promised to make life better for working families. Instead, they passed the so-called big, beautiful bill—a massive transfer of wealth from working...

Our coalition of 149 ideologically diverse and distinctive national organizations collectively representing tens of millions of people will remember who turned their backs on working families—and who we can count on to fight for us. www.aft.org/they-betraye...
