"The latest cancellations – including battery, electric vehicle and solar panel factories in West Virginia, New York, Alabama, Arizona and Washington – mean $15.5 billion in new factories and electricity projects have been cancelled since January 1." $15.5B, 12,000 new jobs -- wiped out. For what?

Businesses Cancel $1.4 Billion...

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well.

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

I saw that there have been 70,000 applications for this so far… https://union.place/@democraticdebo/114077717625249297

Really stoked to hear from @chriswarcraft.bsky.social at the San Bernardino County Dems’ fundraiser breakfast this morning!

New CatSynth TV! Scenes from yesterday's #NoKings protests 😻🇺🇸📺 https://youtu.be/9bIfvH6nqOA

#Breaking Seattle area immigrants have reported getting notifications of mandatory immigration interviews on Saturday and Sunday this week.

The problem is that there have never been weekend interviews like this so foreign residents are afraid it will be a large ICE roundup. Also, this weekend many liberals will be focusing on symbolic #NoKings protests instead of material support.

So maybe consider cop watching an ICE office instead

"It's becoming socially unpleasant to say racist stuff" was worse for US elites than what's going on now, with the gov't literally banning books, striking prohibited words from history programs, deporting people for op-eds, etc. They hated it more. And they deserve endless fucking contempt for it.
