There are over 100,000 untested rape kits in America. 14% of them are in California.

This is grossly unacceptable.

I’m working across the aisle to clear this backlog once and for all.

I’ll partner with anyone to drive justice forward—always.

Not to be the journalism police, but I don’t think you should publish pieces saying Trump is going to “address striking autoworkers” when he is not in fact going to address striking autoworkers. What are we doing here?

Let's be clear: Donald Trump is going to a NON-UNION facility tonight in Michigan.

This visit, just like all his promises to working people, is a farce.

.President Biden meets with striking UAW members. This is the first time a sitting US President has visited a picket line in modern history.

#StandUpUAW

Today, for the first time in history, the President of the United States joined a picket line.

This is a major testament to the strength and resurgence of the labor movement. Let’s go!

Hot Labor Summer becomes Hotter Labor Fall! Citywide strike in Las Vegas could be coming soon.

For the Black mothers in Las Vegas who organized Operation Life, it was imperative that society treat every mother and child with dignity. #LaborDay #BlackWomenLead Annelise Orleck Jacobin buff.ly/3EdnPhc

Las Vegas, NV, in the 1950s and ’60s was a Jim Crow town. It was not always a union town. This is the setting where Operation Life, organized by Black women fighting welfare injustice, was born. Annelise Orleck Jacobin buff.ly/3EdnPhc

Journalists: the Jacksonville mass murder was not racially motivated violence, it was RACIST violence. We must be specific and direct with our language.

In the words of one of Jacksonville’s sons, James Weldon Johnson “We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. We have come treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered…”

Caregiving is work, and it deserves a living wage and dignity. Alversa Beals, one of the founders of the Clark County Welfare Rights Organization, describes her awakening to this fact. Quoted by Annelise Orleck in a recent Jacobin interview. Read here: bit.ly/3KHIz4j

nearly all of the articles published post-GA indictment pondering Giuliani's character arch skip over the time he led a racist mob rally claiming that David Dinkins had stolen an election from him and used that racial grievance to get elected mayor. Seems like a key plot point...

Wonder if they call this class war too, or is it just when we fight back a bit?
