We can’t trust Big Tech billionaires to regulate themselves—that’s how we got into this mess. We need real AI guardrails NOW to protect our jobs, our rights and our freedoms.

TPS holders are our friends, co-workers, union family and vital members of our communities. Ending TPS protections is a gut-punch that will upend families and hurt our economy. As @seiupres.bsky.social said, workers won't be divided by this admin's anti-worker, anti-immigrant actions.

Working people are more experienced with “the real world” than any billionaire or rich CEO. And we know that shit’s too expensive across the country. We need elected leaders who understand what workers experience every day. We need pro-worker candidates like @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social!

Federal workers at the CDC keep working people healthy and protected during public health emergencies. Gutting the agency does nothing to “make America healthy again,” it just puts all of our safety and health on and off the job at risk. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-zom…

America’s labor laws are broken, favoring rich bosses and making it harder for working people to organize unions. Workers want good union jobs, and we need elected leaders who will stand with us and fight for us so we can create an economy that works for everyone.
