New @amnestyuk.bsky.social report on a phenomenon at the core of racist policing in many countries. Imposing a “crime label” based on racist data keeps feeding the cycle of harm. Read about the stories of people having their life impacted because of the use of racist data by the police.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Union baristas were invited to Creating Change to talk about how Starbucks isn't doing right by queer + trans workers. With so much politically uncertain right now, union contracts are one of the best ways to protect LGBTQ+ workers. We need Starbucks to present us with a fair economic offer!

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121
