Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

It’s outrageous that Elon Musk thinks he has the authority to access private data on workers. He has NO business raiding the Department of Labor.

With this lawsuit, we intend to stop this power grab.

We should all be able to agree to stand together against genocide and ethnic cleansing, especially when our tax dollars are funding it. It should not be even remotely controversial to stand up for humanity together.

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

“Trump's War on DEI Is Another Dark Chapter in America’s Racist History”

Racism, writes John Harwood for Zeteo, fits squarely within the mainstream of US political history, from slavery through the Civil War, from Reconstruction through Jim Crow, from the civil rights revolution to MAGA:

PSA: joking about ICE raids is not funny. Especially on work calls

ICE has questioned Native Americans and Puerto Ricans based only on their skin tone.

They have taken US citizens and a veteran into custody, and El Salvador will accept deportees from the US, including US citizens.

Just don't.

Democrats are taking the path of Starmer’s Labour: crush yr left wing base, offer nothing substantive, and wait obediently for the GOP to wreck the country so - as the only alternative - they can pick up the scraps in a country that no longer expects anything from government

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
