@millersvilleu why are you outsourcing our work? After sixty years of caring for our students and serving as frontline workers during Covid 19, you’ve decided to terminate our employment. That’s union-busting.
How has L.A. spent their American Rescue Plan Act funds? According to a new report from the CAO, LA received $1.08 billion. Nearly 2/3 ($696 million) went to LAPD & LAFD salaries. About $240 million went to other dpts to cover salaries. $0 went to housing and shelters. @LATACO
Inexcusable silence from @LALabor on 41.18. Everyone deserves basic respect and dignity. Labor under the threat of homelessness and starvation is not free or voluntary, and threat of material ruin is an unavoidable obstacle to solidarity and working class power.
Solidarity with the unhoused everywhere. Our unhoused neighbors ultimately face these conditions because the capitalists controlling our government refuse to provide everyone with the basic necessities for a dignified life - THAT is the true danger.
Starbucks continues to claim that unionized partners are not "eligible" to receive the new benefits being rolled out, despite us forfeiting our right to bargain over these benefits being implemented in unionized stores. @Starbucks @HowardSchultz It's time to follow the law.
Sweeps don't end homelessness - they're a barrier to solving it. When people are pushed around, they lose access to services as providers can't find them. When the city confiscates people's posessions, they don't stop being homeless.

You have the right to organize at work, and our DMs are open to any and all workers - no matter how many - who would like a training on those rights from experienced labor attorneys.

We need a coalition of environmental, racial justice, and labor activists to bring this city to a standstill unless and until we see real action to make a zero carbon LA within a just, equitable framework. We have to reimagine not just safety, but prosperity, work, and leisure.

Under federal law, employers can legally pay employees with disabilities less than the current $7.25/hr minimum wage. California has the opportunity to end this practice and ensure people with disabilities can move towards independence a living wage: goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntimes…

Please don't confuse having access to power with actually having power or being effective. The first one doesn't accomplish anything. Change requires action.
.@AOC made a play for a seat on the Energy and Commerce committee, which covers climate. She was ousted by Reps with close ties to oil/gas. Dems moan about infighting but are cool w/ pulling these kind of moves against the left. Country worse off bc of people in their feelings!!!

The Torrance PD is one of the most institutionally racist police departments in the state -- w/officers who are actively affiliated with neo-nazi movements. What this investigation uncovers--tragically--is just part of a long history.
An @latimes investigation revealed portions of racist and homophobic text messages exchanged by at least a dozen Torrance police officers, a scandal that sparked an investigation by the California attorney general’s office. By @JamesQueallyLAT latimes.com/california/sto…
@RepJimBanks “Greatest recruitment tool” you mean predatory practices that target low income students?
Not satire.
Student loan forgiveness undermines one of our military’s greatest recruitment tools at a time of dangerously low enlistments.
Acting out delusions is @MitchOFarrell's job, not yours!
“…yesterday’s storming of the horseshoe by a group of unhinged militant activists who think they can just come in and act out on their delusions.”
😂 our incompetent Mayor gets upset when we talk about his failures, but as the Mayor he is solely in charge of our city, it’s police & public safety. No matter how much media covers for him, people know our city is suffering because of his poor leadership and childish behavior.
Mayor Jacob Frey did not hold back in an interview with me tonight, after the pro-police democratic candidate he supported @DonSamuelsMN lost the fifth congressional race tonight to incumbent @IlhanMN . fox9.com/video/1103332
@KoretzforLA is a racist. Riling up a white, neoliberal base to target a woman of color activist IS anti-Asian violence and white supremacy in action. An attack on @theglowingstars is an attack on us all.
Why is a sitting councilmember targeting @theglowingstars, a grassroots organizer, and equating a woman of color to white supremacists? Public officials feign outrage about a lack of decorum but their attacks on young Asians lead to actual violence.
LA’s neoliberal Dems haven’t learned from their failed attempts to paint the mayoral debate disruptions by POC activists as Jan 6 Insurrectionists. Fuck @KoretzforLA and all these Right-wing Democrats who continue to show that they’re the enemy of working class Angelenos.
BREAKING: Councilmember & City Controller candidate Paul Koretz sent a campaign email comparing community members speaking against 41.18 expansion to the violent January 6 INSURRECTIONISTS! Appalling and irresponsible. Resignation isn't enough — it's time to end his career.
This is what this account is all about. Every local should be doing this.
I think unions underestimate the power of free swag. Our local just gave us @steelworkers hats and face masks and 40% of my coworkers were wearing them yesterday. The feeling of instant recognizable solidarity can’t be described.
pay professional women athletes enough that they don’t need 2nd, 3rd, 4th jobs in hostile countries to pay their bills
LA City Council voted to make it illegal to be homeless in 20% of the city + LAPD disbanded the protestors. Instead of focusing on providing homeless people with housing, they’ve voted to ban homeless people from hundreds of areas in the city so that they don’t have to see them
I am so insanely proud of @ReutersGuild taking a stand for better pay today. @newsguild didn't have many strikes (including 1-day'rs) in 20 years. But in the last two years we're up to 7? 8? Don't mess with @newsguild members, folks!

How has L.A. spent their American Rescue Plan Act funds? According to a new report from the CAO, LA received $1.08 billion. Nearly 2/3 ($696 million) went to LAPD & LAFD salaries. About $240 million went to other dpts to cover salaries. $0 went to housing and shelters. @LATACO
Housed parents are just as evil as Nury. Unhoused families live in a greater hell due to those evil people
@hasrra18 Martinez says probably thousands of parents would have come speak in support of 41.18 today if they weren't afraid of being booed
I know all these things. I didn't speak today because of crappy system. I can say that Nury is vile.
@hasrra18 Martinez says the people who spoke today have "absolutely no idea what poverty looks like or what it feels like, or what it feels like to got hungry, or what it feels like to know that your parent is going to get laid off of work and how you're going to make the rent every month"
LA City Council just voted to make it crime to be homeless in more than 20% of the city, punishable by fines and prison time. This is disgusting.
@chadloder @StreetWatchLA @cd6nury its dangerous to take non violent action to prevent a city ordinance that will explicitly mandate state violence against people who have no power 🤡
