I’m not sure people understand how remarkable this is. Bernie Sanders won 18-24 year old by a similar margin but was never able to reshape the electorate in this way. If he had, he’d have been the Democratic nominee for president.

We UAW knew that the labor movement needed to turn the page on vindictive politicians like Cuomo and inspire our city with a new kind of politics for the working class. Watch below to learn how UAW Region 9A members led the way this election. youtu.be/rTxts3K1ifs?si…

Challenge Manufacturing workers in Pontiac, MI, don't just make parts for General Motors and Stellantis — they're a big reason why these companies make billions in profits every year. It's time for Challenge to offer UAW Local 653 members the strong contract they deserve.

It’s not just about time spent. It’s also about willingness to push the political envelope. It’s pro forma for the Dems to slam the bill, vote no, and do big speeches. It is historic for so many Dems to disown the Democratic nominee for the biggest city in the country.

Today in Berlin: Thomas from Jewish Voice was arrested by the police, put in a police car, and taken away. All members of his father's family were murdered by the Germans in Auschwitz. Why? Because he carried a placard with "Jews against genocide"? Do keep us informed European Legal Support Center (ELSC)
