Texans are uniting to tell flock to flock off. These mass surveillance cameras are creating profiles on regular folks for both government and corporations. Surveillance is not safety, and safety is not surveillance.

NEW: Oregon has given developers an unprecedented $1.4 billion, and the cost of developing each subsidized apartment has nearly doubled. But, thanks to a carve-out in its public records law, the state doesn’t have to provide the details of that spending.

Seven Indivisible endorsed candidates were on the ballot this month — and six of them won. Our first-of-its-kind primary program is transforming the Democratic Party into something voters can believe in again.

You know, it's ridiculous to build data centers and then have the power company sending out emails like, "the grid is in peril! Unplug your TV, toaster, and laptop today for three hours to save energy!" You know what else saves energy?! Knocking down data centers and not building more!

When hundreds of thousands of Black women were pushed out of the workforce last year, we warned of the impact on our economy. BLS reporting shows we lost 23k jobs in July. Black women have long been the canaries in the coal mine but ALL workers stand to be harmed. We must act.

A report by the National Women's Law Center titled: July Jobs Report: Women Accounted for 100 Percent of the Labor Force Decline

WASHINGTON — Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center jobs analysis of monthly data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That brings the total net number of women who have left the labor force since January this year to 845,000. In comparison, there are 406,000 fewer men in the labor force now than in January. 

A total of 165,000 women, aged 20 and over, left the labor force last month — meaning they are neither working nor looking for work — while men’s labor force participation was unchanged. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. Women accounted for all of these losses, losing 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000 jobs. Women make up 50.1% of the workforce.
