When corporations like @Toyota say "We do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of Congress solely based on their votes on the electoral certification," what they're really saying is "We care about our profits more than we care about democracy."

Every single Senate Republican voted against even starting debate on critical voting rights legislation.
Senate Republicans again signed their names alongside Trump, the Big Lie, voter suppression.
Make no mistake: The fight in the Senate to protect voting rights is not over.

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations.
It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs.
It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid.
It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country.
Black liberation in its totality must be prioritized.

It’s unusual for #McConnell to hold two news conferences in one week in Washington.
This suggests he’s sees Manchin’s movement on the #votingrights bill as a real threat. Ahead of his newser, he argues it will “supercharge the cancel culture.”

Voting rights are preservative of all other rights—protecting the right to vote isn’t about bipartisanship vs. partisanship, but about right vs. wrong. #ForThePeople

It's not a "labor shortage" -- it's a shortage of good-paying jobs. It's a shortage of jobs with benefits.
Corporations are to blame, not folks on unemployment.

Hey Corporate America 👋🏾

Nope. We need essential pay + benefits for our essential work. Bc we are #AlwaysEssential ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾

Goldman Sachs just agreed to review its use of mandatory arbitration, in response to a shareholder resolution filed by the Nathan Cummings Foundation. A big win for those pushing for more transparency and disclosure from companies on their diversity and inclusion practices.

Whistleblower protections help workers, they help investors, they help the long-term health of the company.
The only ones they don't help are managers keeping a tight lid on speech & dissent at Google.
Investors shouldn't listen to them. Vote these protections through.

Google has a history of retaliation. The gov. even found it violated labor law by firing workers for organizing, & its reputation has suffered b/c it fired @timnitGebru & @mmitchell_ai. Groups are cutting ties left & right.
These protections would help the company as a whole.

Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley just voted to filibuster the insurrection commission, only a few months after helping incite the insurrection.
There must be accountability.
