Letter from UFCW Local 7 President Kim Cordova to JBS USA informing the company they are giving notice to cancel the contract extension agreement
3,800 meatpacking workers, represented by UFCW Local 7, could go on strike as early as March 16
The union canceled their contract extension agreement. 99% of workers voted to authorize a strike
It would be the first strike at the plant, the largest to hit the industry in decades
The Trump administration is reportedly crafting a $50 billion supplemental funding request aimed at financing its war, which has killed more than 1,000 Iranians and counting.
Republicans are “debating whether to attach wildfire aid and $15 billion in tariff relief for farmers” to the supplemental funding measure in an effort to attract Democratic support.
Nashville reporter's detention by federal immigration officials poses grave threat to press freedom and the public’s right to know. A thread on Estefany Rodriguez: www.freepress.net/news/free-pr...
what a terrible time to not have foreign bureaus b/c the billionaire owner of a news org decided to shutter them
"Whereas in the last election cycle, we saw large law firms working really actively against various voter suppression efforts and election subversion efforts, now, they are simply not engaged in those cases at all...That’s the real-world impact of the chilling effect."
at this point the Supreme Court's emergency docket is itself an emergency
It’s always “Healthcare is too expensive.”
But somehow there’s always billions for bombs.
Tennessee wants to ban undocumented children from access to a free public education, and turn school administrators into immigration informants. The Heritage Foundation wants to take that plan national. Read my latest for @theintercept.com:
In 2024, I investigated a powerful film studio/real estate executive and his racist, antisemitic communications.
He exchanged messages about the stench of Black people.
Now he’s running for Congress in Georgia to support Trump. I wrote about it here: open.substack.com/pub/nicolefc...
Results: Progressives win all four of these primaries, ousting incumbents Cunningham, Willingham, and Majeed, while Pierce held off Wray’s comeback.
extraordinary night for state progressives in North Carolina

As we reported in @boltsmag.org last month, Massachusetts is the *only* state with a Democratic governor + legislature that maintains a state-level 287(g) agreement with ICE. As part of this agreement, Massachusetts often funnels people exiting prison into deportation.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
Our tax dollars hard at work...
(the grift, the graft, the corruption, *actual fraud, waste and abuse*)
We need media that tells the truth in times of war. Media consolidation undermines that goal. My latest for @freepress.bsky.social spells out the particular dangers of Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. and calls on state AGs to investigate it.
He'll be voting for more money for DHS tomorrow... but thanks for playing, I guess?
We are a mighty club over in the treatable, not curable cancer crew. People would be surprised how many of us are out here just vibing and living in spite of the tumors, treatment etc.
It's disgusting how much Georgia law facilitates this
Noem is really digging in on it depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is smh
Now, growing media consolidation in bed with Trump is watering down critical coverage, removing DEI policies in these companies, forcing ever widening fragmentation of our information systems. We are more & more divided, overwhelmed, ready for authoritarians who give easy solutions. We must resist.
We @freepress.bsky.social @juliorvarela.com interviewed Raelyn Roberson, an amazing researcher and organizer, about how Grok is already prepping to mislead voters by sowing discord. pressingissues.org/groks-demons...
Violence, war, attacks on media, killing dissent -- the authoritarian playbook. Trump is pushing US to crisis so he can invoke Insurrection Act, post Natl Guards in cities to oversee elections. Corporate allies are in bed to water down coverage & use AI slop to confuse/mislead. Chaos is everywhere.
Trump “officials did not present clear evidence (to Hill staffers) the Iranians were preparing an imminent attack on U.S. troops, said two people who attended.”
Illegal. Unconstitutional.
Politico screenshot: “The Trump administration is making the case that it ordered expansive, deadly strikes to stop an imminent threat from Tehran, but is providing no evidence Iran had such plans. The White House, amid the largest military buildup in the region in decades, has yet to explain to the public or to Congress what Iranian threat prompted the massive attacks that have upended the region and could draw the U.S. into another Middle East war.”
When even @politico.com cannot spin away Trump’s needless - unconstitutional, illegal war - attacking Iran.
FLOOD THEM WITH DISAPPROVAL
I know I have been on this since 2015, but this column to this day still annoys me! It wasn’t even true at the time!
NEW: More evidence that those who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election are working with Trump administration officials to set the rules for the 2026 midterms. @dougbockclark.bsky.social
With court losses mounting, Trump allies are urging him to assert emergency powers over the 2026 elections.
The basis? Disproven claims about Chinese interference in 2020.
@thewaywithanoa.bsky.social looks at what that move would actually mean.
