The Texas Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the "Death Star Bill" - this bill became famous because it would be used to end workers' protections like water breaks. But it is much more sinister than that; it will effectively bar cities from passing any law opposed by the GOP

The Zohran campaign has been inspiring & is a model for us all from now on. Zohran never backed off socialist principles, but did not engage in performative ultra-leftism or scolding.
Socialism is about optimism that a better world is possible, it's nice to be reminded of that.

While Lockheed Martin rakes in billions in taxpayer dollars—seeing $24 billion in profits between 2022 and 2024 — their latest offer would force most employees to work between 16 and 23 years to reach top rate and would start pay at just $15 per hour.

You’d hope this might lead the 100% renewable fanatics to reconsider their opposition to clean and stable nuclear power, instead of lighting over €20 billion decommissioning nuclear power in Spain.
