The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 15d

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Bob Iger has a real chance to be a hero here and say “Fuck you. Make me.” to the FCC by reinstating Kimmel.

I’ll sign back up for Disney+ if he does. Until then, keep canceling your subscriptions!

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update.

ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting.

She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

Corporate America’s playbook:

1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use these laws to further exploit workers
5) Repeat

Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
