It was a fight to get it through our Dem trifecta state government btw. Our leaders are by and large not going to fix any of this damage until we force them to.

Last week Newsom signed a bill written and organized by UAW members that would put forth a ballot measure to raise $7.5 billion to establish a funding agency in California with the express purpose of restoring funding that has been withheld or stolen. I'm hoping more higher ed unions follow suit!

Unless Congress reclaims its power, this will just become the new normal. A good first step would be to impeach Vought. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Even if you've never been a union member, the attacks on unions have cost you money. The typical worker would be earning $5,000 more a year if unions were as strong today as they were five decades ago

You know that union members often are able to negotiate employer-matched contributions to their retirement accounts right? Or are you just stupid?

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

Wage suppression is rampant among non-union workers. Unions in fact have been the ONLY successful path for workers to be paid what they are worth. People like you truly make me sick

Shawn Fain makes a little over $200k a year and the CEO of Ford made $27.5 million last year. Meanwhile my coworkers and I just unionized and won raises that are more than double what we usually get. Where is the failure John?

PG&E says it will scale back planned work after California wildfire reforms fail
PG&E CEO Patti Poppe said delaying the investments means the utility won’t have to borrow as much money at high rates that end up raising bills for customers.

The NIH Director confirms they are giving away biomedical research money used to develop treatments and cures for infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens, to the Department of Defense. Outrageous.

@NIHDirector_Jay

NIH funds should be used to improve the health of Americans.
Far from siphoning money away from research, this partnership between @NIH and @DeptofWar focuses on research projects that will drive discoveries to improve the health of American citizens and members of the military.
Led by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, all work will be 100% aligned with our public health mission.

I'd just ask them to explain what their hesitation/hangup is through some open ended questions. I bet there is some weird misunderstanding of what a union is.

I was also pissed off at his original statement in support of the tariffs, but he's walked it back and explicitly expressed disapproval of the most recent escalations with Canada. Unfortunately if tariffs are your red line, you're not gonna like any of the other candidates he's running against

Why not Fain? He's the only serious candidate who is willing to organize and build the power required to take on the billionaire class. His admin supported me and my 12,000 coworkers forming a new union last year. His opposition is conservative and doesn't support new organizing efforts.

Same goes for any kind of nationalized single payer program. If an individual state like California wanted to try it, that's a different story.
