How about BNSF not disrupt the US economy over rail workers getting a sick day? The greed here is unreal. When was the last time you saw a corporate exec get written up for needing a doctor? If they’re so against sick days, they can give up theirs. Stand with rail workers ✊🏽
Quote Tweet
BNSF, the railroad owned by Warren Buffett, has sent this letter to Congress urging them to pass legislation that would force rail workers to adopt a contract that contains ZERO paid or unpaid sick days. In the letter, BNSF continues to lie about its sick leave policy.

The railroad companies are moving towards a LOCKOUT. There is not a single worker on strike on the US rails right now. There *are* CEOs shutting down rail lines and withholding goods to shock Congress into forcing a deal on 100,000 workers.
Quote Tweet
Emerging impacts of potential rail shutdown: - Amtrak cancels long-distance trips - Ammonia, fertilizer, ag products pulled from trains - Price of ethanol, other products soars - Grain shipments could stop tomorrow “If rail shuts down, our entire agricultural system shuts down"

Every time AOC speaks, the possibilities of what we could be and should be, are so obvious. “I am tired of communities of faith being weaponized and being mischaracterized, because the only time “religious freedom” is invoked, is in the name of bigotry and discrimination”

. is right about the poisonous flip side of patriarchy, which teaches boys to obsess over how they are perceived, to feel perpetually inadequate, and to channel painful emotions into hostility/violence instead of working through them. APA paper here: apa.org/monitor/2019/0

Remember: it was Alito’s opinion that leaked. That fact paired with his politicized remarks below should be alarming to anyone. The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis. Chief Justice Roberts has a responsibility to share the progress & results of SCOTUS’ leak investigation.

In his Rome speech on religious liberty, Justice Alito mocked "foreign leaders" who condemned his opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, including Boris Johnson, Macron, Trudeau, and ... Prince Harry. Of Boris, Alito quipped: "He paid the price." youtube.com/watch?v=uci4un

The Abu Akleh family deserves accountability. CNN, NYT, etc found Shireen was shot by an Israeli sniper while wearing a press vest. Yet, the U.S. has done nothing. We didn’t even conduct a thorough investigation in this murder of an American reporter. President Biden must act.

The Fed’s aggressive interest-rate hikes risk triggering a recession. Powell even conceded they won’t reduce food or gas prices, and many key drivers of inflation are outside Fed control. Congress should do its part to lower costs. Read my op-ed:

Congresswoman @AOC has been a fierce champion for the working people of NY-14. She is an inspiration for millions of young people who understand that if they are going to have a bright future, they must be engaged in political struggle. I’m proud to endorse her for reelection.

Very striking to watch all this McConnell footage knowing that a few months later he led the push to block a House-passed bill that would've set up a bipartisan commission to investigate Jan. 6. It led to Pelosi & the House creating this select committee.
