BIG NEWS: Chicago DSA just published our issues-based voter guide for the upcoming Board of Education election!

Was going to gas this up either way because I'm a good soldier, but for the record I really, really like the design on Chicago DSA's school board voter guide, both in terms of aesthetics and the information it's trying to convey to the reader. Highly recommend chicagodsa.org/boe/#on-the-...

If you live in Chicago and you vote, you owe it to yourself to read @chicagodsa.bsky.social's school board voter guide! It's free, it's meticulously researched, and it gives you tons of background about why these races matter and how we're just now getting a school board. Very proud of my comrades.

I'm so proud of the work my @chicagodsa.bsky.social comrades did putting together this guide. Beyond the simple recommendations, it does a great job outlining the importance & stakes of this election & conflicts of public ed under capitalism. Every Chicago voter should read this. chicagodsa.org/boe/

Yesterday, ICE agents shot, wounded, and abducted Oscar Belgal. When the community gathered in solidarity, they were met with police violence. We say no more. ICE out of New York. Abolish ICE. End NYPD violence and complicity.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol and other executives make millions each year while denying pay raises, just cause protections, and safe work scheduling to employees whose labor makes Starbucks.

Starbucks is the biggest violator of U.S. labor law in modern history, including repeated union-busting and retaliation efforts at stores across the country.
