Janitors who cleaned for Netflix, Apple, Pfizer & more struggled to survive while companies got rich off of COVID. After threatening to strike, more than 20,000 janitors with @seiuusww won a pay increase and pension plan. When workers fight, they win.

Pete Buttigieg testifies today on his nomination to run the Dept. of Transportation. I spent almost a year covering Buttigieg. He refused to speak with me, so I’m going to thread some of the things senators could ask him about today.

Police have been on camera brazenly assaulting and unlawfully arresting protesters in every city since last summer. Where are the 9/11 style commissions to look into the fact that the entire profession who should be enforcing the law are the most lawless and violent?
