For this — asking the police why they were beating the shit out of a student at an anti-war protest — she was charged with battery of a police officer

Think about how fast this country sent hordes of riot police with tear gas, batons, and tasers to arrest anti-war students & their teachers. Now think about every medical bill you've paid, every homeless person you've seen, every school that relies on bake sales to buy supplies.
Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are basic constitutional rights. Student protesters — whether you agree with them or not — have a right to safety & fairness. Responding to peaceful demonstrations with weapons and riot gear escalates tension and makes everyone less safe.

What do you call it when cops start doing this to journalists?
Join us in DC in June for #PPP24, our annual convening of pro-people lawyers & law students working to unrig the law. We've got a fantastic speaker line-up (Aziz Rana! Madiba Dennie! Jessica Rutter! Purvi Shah! Ray Brescia!) You don't want to miss this. peoplesparity.org/event/2024conv…

The FTC just issued a ban on noncompete agreements, which studies have shown to drive down wages for everyone. This will have enormous ramifications for low-wage and healthcare workers particularly — nearly half of physicians are bound by noncompetes substack.perfectunion.us/p/breaking-the…
In final rule, FTC bans non-compete clauses for *all* workers!
BREAKING: 4 million workers will now take home more money when they work more than 40 hours a week under a new Labor Dept. rule released today. The changes would make it so salaried workers earning less than about $59k annually would automatically be due overtime pay.

This is a BIG DEAL for seniors. The Biden-Harris administration just announced new minimum standards for nursing homes. The new rules require a minimum staffing level & for 80% of Medicaid dollars to go to workers’ salaries. #UnionsForAll This will improve care tremendously.
In what is being called a "monumental" and "historic" win for local news, New York lawmakers have approved $90 million worth of payroll tax credits over the next three years to hire local journalists as part of the state's 2025 budget. axios.com/2024/04/21/ny-…

if you are wondering when immediate suspension of students for peaceful protest became a thing, me too! I guess just when those protests started being about Palestine
Columbia University not only called NYPD on hundreds of its own students — who are peacefully protesting war crimes in Gaza — the school directed NYPD to arrest them. Shocking, shameful, and selectively repressing pro-Palestine speech

NEW: With the stroke of the governor’s pen, local governments in Florida are now blocked from requiring heat protections for outdoor workers, driving a stake through the heart of Miami-Dade County’s efforts to keep farmworkers and construction workers safe from extreme heat.…
A year into the unwinding of pandemic protections in Medicaid, @KFF tracking shows we have reached a milestone: Over 20 million people have now been dropped, most for procedural reasons. kff.org/medicaid/issue…

Incredible stuff.
I’ve seen enough: Rep. Summer Lee (D) defeats Bhavini Patel (D) in the #PA12 Dem primary.
It was the honor of a lifetime to be a part of the effort to free workers from noncompetes. This is government working for people.
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.
Check out this whole thread. Look at the way the noncompete rule includes stories of real people. Government-speak shouldn’t be for technocrats. Government should reflect the lives of the people it works for. It should be accountable to their needs. This is how it should look.
1. Today @FTC issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country. The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market. ftc.gov/legal-library/…

This new rule is a massive deal. It will transform America’s nursing homes so they’re safer for residents. And it will reduce burnout among nursing home staff who are trying their best but are stretched too thin.
New @KFF analysis: 81% of nursing facilities do not currently meet the staffing requirements in the new rules released today by the Biden Administration. kff.org/policy-watch/n…
By the way, one of the basic things this bill does: delivery drivers must have 60 seconds to decide whether or not to accept a delivery job. The companies love talking about how delivery workers have the freedom to turn down any ride—but they give them only seconds to decide. /1
One of the biggest scams in the marketplace is the lie so many employers tell their workers about autonomy and independence as a justification for the denial of labor rights. Proud to help delivery drivers in Colorado take on algorithmic control. Thanks to legislative champions!

Shawn Fain, president of the @UAW, just spoke to the victorious Tennessee VW workers: "The talking heads and the pundits said to me repeatedly before we announced this campaign, you can't win in the South, and Southern workers aren't ready for it." Next up, Mercedes in Alabama.
An utterly historic victory for the working class. Tennessee is shining bright tonight. We are in a new era. Congratulations to the courageous workers in Chattanooga and the entire @UAW. Absolutely heroic. Solidarity IS the strategy - across the South, and all over the country.
BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide. They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades. This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
Breaking: In a watershed victory, workers at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, voted tonight "UAW, yes!" The company's sole non-union plant will finally join the rest of the world. labornotes.org/2024/04/histor…
