BOYCOTT ALERT. @sbworkersunited.org deserve a fair contract. Starbucks can’t be trusted to serve good coffee until there’s a union contract. Delete your app and find a local coffee shop! #NoContractNoCoffee

I will forever love our Spirit @afacwa.org members (“Bees”) and find inspiration in the way they fought for each other with great SPIRIT. As they find their new homes I was lucky enough to pin wings and welcome 23 of them to United AFA as “Blue Bees” alongside 79 Newbies! #SolidaritySpiritForever

I’ve known and worked closely with @edmarkey.bsky.social for 25 years. He’s the real deal and one of the best friends working people can have. He shows up in hard times and pushes for progress at every turn. Cheers to you, Senator Markey. Let’s get out the vote and get back to work! ✊❤️

Like I told the @aft.org convention yesterday, everyone must read this book by @rweingarten.bsky.social to understand and blunt fascist tactics. But it is also a love letter to teachers who help us think critically and to all union members who help working people have the chance to thrive. Read it!

Heartbroken. Help the Pretti family tell the truth about Alex. “The sickening lies told by the administration about our son are reprehensible and disgusting.” Help Alex’s family as they grieve. Share this.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:

We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world.
Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Day 9 of a strike for recognition (we’re gonna have to do a lot more of this) at the Horseshoe Casino in Shelbyville, IN. Proud to join the picket line this morning with @teamsters.bsky.social Local 135, helping these dealers fight back and show the way for the entire working class.

An optimistic book in a grueling time. @dskamper.bsky.social gives us hope with stories of strategic fights led with the awakening of worker power. Solidarity is essential and so is reading this book. I was honored to write the foreword of Who✊s Got the Power?

THE Mother for all of us, Mother Jones.

Mother Jones and two of her quotes. “My friends, it is solidarity of labor we want. We do not want to find fault with each other, but to solidify our forces and say to each other: We must be together; our masters are joined together and we must do the same thing.” And “I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.”

To the ENTIRE federal workforce. It's all just a big f'g joke to him. This is our lives. This is our safety and we don’t need distractions from safety. This is also “rich” coming from the richest man on earth because he figured out how to steal our federal $s and he wants more.
