I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Governor Polis, Senator Bennet and Attorney General Weiser to support strong unions. Write one here: act.aflcio.org/letters/tell...

Tell Governor Polis, Senator Bennet and Attorney General Weiser to support strong unions
The Worker Protection Act eliminates Colorado's second election when forming a union. Governor Jared Polis, Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Weiser need to stand strong for workers.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
