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.

On January 5th, Jakarta Jackson was killed by Rock Island PD Ofc. Brett Taylor when he was pulled over, while his daughter was in his car. Since then the State’s Attorney didn’t press charges and the RIPD has Ofc. Taylor back on the streets. No more killing of Black lives: fire Brett Taylor.

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?

By asking for donations and using our member dues, we were able to get enough supplies for dozens of people today. Not only is there no reason for the city of Davenport to do the same, but we did it on a shoestring budget.

There’s enough vacant homes in this country to house everyone several times over, but landlords buy up swathes of homes and let them stay vacant to create scarcity, allowing rents to soar.

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...

This article mentions Cunningham being "concerned" for the safety of Wold, addressing people concerned about the collapse with “It’ll never settle a group like that,” that they have been “…doing everything and anything they can to create conflict.”
