I’m proud to stand with the Committee of Interns and Residents SEIU as they negotiate with Brown University Health and Care New England for a FAIR union contract! It’s unfair that many of our residents and fellows are working up to 80 hours with pay that matches close to minimum wage.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Arresting journalists. Fatally shooting protestors. Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

It’s hard to see AI in any kind of positive light for mental health before it’s legislated and contained since people have actually died by suicide using it. Then we can have this conversation. Is NASW advocating for legislation around this?

CEO: $96 million for 120 days of work. Baristas: $15/hour and not enough hours to qualify for benefits. That’s not “the best job in retail.” That’s greed. Baristas are on strike, and we’re standing with them. #NoContractNoCoffee seiu.co/NoStarbucks

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
