2,000 Philly school bus drivers, cleaners, and maintenance workers just won 9.5% raises, $2,350 bonuses, and 25 paid parental leave days, for the first time in their union’s history.
Turns out respect looks a lot like getting paid what you’re worth.

While Biden and his staffers are desperate to spin it as a series of unfortunate events they were helpless to correct, Akbar Shahid Ahmed’s new book leaves no doubt that top US officials repeatedly made the choice to aid and abet Netanyahu

We are out here working hard to elect @AbdulElSayed. I am so inspired that I will finally be able to vote for a MI senate candidate who supports Medicare for All, ending endless wars, stop funding the genocide the Palestinian people + protecting our water and air. #MedicareforAll #FreePalestine

they’re calling it the most ethical industry of all time
New: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled. propub.li/4dGHrwr

This is a serious understatement.
On May 24, 2024, the ICJ ordered Israel to stop its invasion of Rafah.
To sabotage the orders, Biden pretended Netanyahu agreed to a ceasefire.
Many ridiculously took this at face value.
Biden got the UNSC to ignore the ICJ orders and instead pass a resolution based on his bs announcement.
This basically ensured the genocide continued at full throttle till the end of Biden’s term.

Ashley Moody voted to end the ACA subsidies. Nearly 300,000 Floridians lost the help they were getting to pay for health insurance.
I support bringing those subsidies back and Medicare for All. Nobody should go bankrupt for going to the doctor. #AngieforFlorida

Girolamo Giuseffi decided to throw it all at this gown. It needed cut velvet panels, lace, chiffon overlays, net, rhinestones and silk covered baubles. He also decided that electric blue & cream would make the most vivid impression & he wasn’t wrong. Gown c1912 @newfieldstoday

In the long run, America will not be saved from Trumpism by the Bush-era Republicans & Corporate Dems who got rich and famous ruining the country and creating conditions for Trump’s ascent.
It’s fine — and even good — that these narcissistic chaos agents are momentarily part of the sudden popular front against Trump. It’s good that they currently perceive a self-interest in participating in the resistance to the authoritarianism that they themselves helped create.
But remember: arsonists are not firefighters. In short order, they will inevitably go back to creating more infernos — probably in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, and maybe sooner in undermining populist Dems in the 2026 midterms.
It’s time for a real change. We shouldn’t have to spend our entire lifetimes watching supervillains get rich and famous pretending to be heroes as we all suffer.

@MichelleObama said when they go low, we go high. I'm saying when they go low, we get LOUD.
Every single time a country has stopped its democracy from falling, it happened one way. People organized and mobilized. The people refused to be quiet.
Let's Get LOUD #AngieforFlorida
