This election will decide if Elon Musk gets his own city in Texas. Most of the voters work for him

“8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours for what we will” was the slogan of the Haymarket Martyrs, who were killed while on strike in 1886.

Fortune 500 company abruptly fires lawyer who helped immigrant family On March 4, Clay Jackson, an attorney in the Dallas area, was at a gas station near his home when the attendant asked if he would help a local immigrant family.

Clay Jackson, a Texas attorney, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family after the father had been targeted in an ICE raid.

Then, two officers came to his home and said he was “obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation."

After he spoke publicly about it, he was fired.

🧵 It’s the 100th day of Trump 2.0, so here are 100 times Trump and those close to him have attacked press freedom and transparency.

That doesn’t mean they’re only averaging one per day – we had to make cuts. There will probably be more attacks while we’re posting this.

Please mask if you’re able and practice safe distancing 😷

May Day events continue today!

Supreme Court to hear school disability discrimination case

At issue is a case testing the reach of federal laws that promise special help for children with disabilities in public schools. Specifically: What do parents have to prove in order to get that specialized help?

The arrest of labor organizers by DPD is a clear attack on our 1st amendment rights. The time to stand up and fight back is now. Those before us fought for the labor rights of today. They sacrificed everything to build a world where the worker is more than a tool to be used by the billionaires.
