- AOC, Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, Jamaal Bowman, & Cori Bush ALL voted to impose the contract that rail workers rejected. If the 7-sick-day resolution fails in the Senate, they'll have done exactly what Biden did – betrayed workers in favor of the bosses.BREAKING: House passes bill imposing a rail labor agreement with no guaranteed sick days—the first of two rail bills they're voting on today. Vote was 290-137. The House will now vote on a separate bill that includes paid sick days.
- Cornel West is running for President as a left independent, anti-war candidate. His campaign has enormous potential to challenge the billionaire class, but to succeed, it will need to develop into a mass grassroots political force.
- I'm all in for @BernieSanders because we need a political revolution against the billionaire class, an Organizer-in-Chief prepared to build the movement of millions needed to win far-reaching change. I strongly support Bernie's fight for Medicare for All and for a Green New Deal.
- Beto O’Rourke gets boo’d off stage at @SocialistHTX’s #RoeOverturned protest. The crowd is chanting: “Voting blue is not enough, Democrats we call your bluff!”Thousands protested at the federal courthouse in Houston against the #Roe decision, demanding that Biden & the Dems codify Roe. Working people must protest, strike, & walkout to force the reversal of this decision & win back abortion rights!
00:00 - Happening Now!!! #EssentialWorkers at a #Minneapolis grocery store are staging an 8:46 min work stoppage in solidarity w/ #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd. An injury to one is an injury to all! #NoJusticeNoPeace #blacklivesmatter
00:00 - "If a small revolutionary socialist organization in Seattle can beat the wealthiest corporations in the world here, again and again, you can be sure that the organized power of the wider working class can change society."
- .@cmkshama - Seattle's socialist city councillor - explains why she's joining @DemSocialists. Capitalism is in crisis and we need a mass, united socialist movement.
- Workers and young people can’t afford to go down this road of false hopes again in attempting to reform the Democratic Party. We need systemic change, and Cornel West’s campaign offers an opportunity to fight back.
- The Squad did not #ForceTheVote on Medicare4All & not one of them voted against Pelosi for Speaker. After Pelosi’s total stimulus failure, this is unacceptable. The establishment is killing us and we can’t be afraid of open conflict with them in defense of working people!
00:00- Anyone with illusions in a "pro-labor" Biden administration or Democratic Party need to look no further than today’s vote. This wholesale betrayal of working people confirms what we already knew: this is the party of the rail corporations and the bosses.
- 7,100 nurses in NYC in several key hospitals went on strike starting at midnight Sunday, continuing through today, for safe staffing ratios, pay rises that exceed inflation & more. 🧵
- #TyreNichols murder shows what millions of working-class people already know: the whole system is guilty. We need mass protests to end racist policing, especially the violent "hotspot policing" that Dem party politicians have embraced across the country.
