Last year Tyson Foods made over $400 million. It paid its CEO, Donnie King, over $34 million. Without notice, Tyson has cruelly abandoned its workers. Its closure of the Joslin plant has led to 2.5k union workers being cast out. Workers deserve more, workers deserve a federal jobs guarantee.

“This is not normal” says the party who never stopped ICE raids. “This is not normal” says the party that armed Israel’s genocide. “This is not normal” says the party who unanimously confirmed Marco Rubio. It’s time to build a party that serves people, not profits.

Some baristas are being told NOT to reference Black History Month when writing on cups & bags, although they face potential discipline for not writing anything at all - even when understaffed or during a rush. Why is this an issue, and why is Starbucks management emboldened to make these decisions?

Since Trump's election, many Democratic pundits & elites have indicated it's time to stand down. They think the “Resistance” of protest movements from 2016-2020 went too far, & people should now fight less hard. I call these people "The Desistance”— they’re wrong! www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-r...

@ericsorensen.bsky.social voted with Republicans for the Laken Riley Act, a bill that allows migrants to be detained by ICE for a variety of minor offenses. This bill has passed Congress and will certainly be signed by Trump into law, further emboldening his power grab and persecution of immigrants

TRUMP LAUNCHES MASS DEPORTATIONS YDSA reiterates our belief that "no human is illegal" and we stand in strong opposition to the closure and militarization of the southern border as well as Trump's direct attacks against our fellow community members (1/2🧵)
Text “TRUMP LAUNCHES
MASS DEPORTATIONS
now is the time to fight for someone you don't know!” over images of the Border Wall, Trump signing an executive order, and an ICE agent.Text “On his first day back in office Trump signed a series of executive orders to enact his draconian immigration policy.
• Deployed the Military to the Southern Border
• Unilaterally ended the asylum process (in violation of international law)
• Declared "an end to birthright citizenship"
• Tasked ICE and Homeland Security to begin deportation raids”

Over a picture of the military at a portion of fence on the southern border.Text “These actions have only been enabled by Democrats who joined with Republicans yesterday to bypass the Senate filibuster and pass the Laken Riley Act which requires ICE to detain and deport undocumented immigrants who are only arrested or charged, not convicted, of a crime.

The Young Democratic Socialists of America reiterates our belief that "no human is illegal" and We stand in strong opposition to the closure and militarization of the southern border as well as Trump's direct attacks against our fellow community members.

We reject the racist division the GOP and Trump try to instill into the working class to undermine solidarity. We stand with all working people regardless of legal status, race, nationality or any other arbitrary difference.”

“NO! TO MASS DEPORTATIONS!”
