bullshit headline, this is what the second largest public school district costs now just think how much it costs every year for LAPD to murder us and shoot our dogs!
Los Angeles Times headline: the price of LAUSD union peace will be $1.2 billion dollars a year. Next up is paying for it

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
"They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head."
An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

When immigrant rights are under attack, everyone’s rights are under attack. If it can happen to your neighbor, it can happen to you. Cuando se atacan los derechos de los inmigrantes, se atacan los derechos de todos. Si le puede pasar a tu vecino, te puede pasar a ti.

Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was not made aware that its trucks would be used in today's operation and did not authorize this. Penske will reach out to DHS and reinforce its policy to avoid improper use of its vehicles in the future.

Industry-wide strikes and boycotts can work. But they only work when they are led by the actual impacted workers, and they take a TON of force. I’m just saying you can’t find that kind of strength on instagram alone
