Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Employers will no longer need to provide info about unions or ensure that workers are employed on the same terms with any collective agreement. Make no mistake, this is a deliberate attempt to undermine unions and prevent workers from securing good pay and conditions.
