Been working full time on Jackie Elward’s Assembly campaign, so I haven’t been posting here like I should. We’ve built real momentum, people power, strong endorsements, and a path to win. But we still need to close the funding gap.

Tonight is the California Assembly filing deadline. Jackie Elward is my wife, and she’s running as a real pro worker candidate. This is when support actually shows up on the report. Small donations before midnight make a difference. www.jackie4assembly.com/donate

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

An illustrated cartoon shows a person swinging a wooden bat into the leg of someone trying to walk past them. The text above reads, “How to kindly explain to someone that picket lines aren’t meant to be crossed.”

Raising money is the hardest part of running. If you can’t raise enough, sometimes even our unions go with the guy with no labor record. If you believe in working-class leadership, chip in $12 to help Jackie win AD12 and tell your union siblings. www.jackie4assembly.com/donate

If you’ve ever gotten value from Union Drip, I’m asking you to help out. My wife Jackie is a labor champion. But we won’t be taken seriously in her Assembly race without hitting our fundraising goal by June 30. Can you pitch in $10, $25 or $100 today? 👉 www.jackie4assembly.com/donate

Pete Hegseth’s attack on Harvey Milk is an attack on organized labor and its allies. Milk didn’t just fight for LGBTQ+ rights. He stood shoulder to shoulder with unions like the Teamsters.

Harvey Milk and Teamsters leader Allan Baird standing together at a 1974 campaign benefit dinner, symbolizing their historic alliance during the Coors boycott. Milk wears a suit and tie, smiling warmly, while Baird sits beside him, reflecting the growing coalition between LGBTQ+ activists and organized labor.

Spend millions learning how to talk to workers, or maybe just be the party that actually fights for them.

Screenshot of a news article from The Independent with the headline: “Democrats spending millions to learn how to speak to ‘American Men’ and win back the working class.” Below the headline is an image of a construction worker in a hard hat and orange safety pants, kneeling on the floor of a partially finished building. He is handling thick electrical cables with tools, surrounded by exposed brick, loose wiring, and a yellow toolbox—suggesting a worksite under renovation.

Finally got the chance to meet and chat with the legendary Dolores Huerta yesterday and it was truly an honor. At 95, her strength, clarity, and commitment to justice are as powerful as ever. I can only hope to carry a fraction of that wisdom and fire in the years ahead.

Myself seated next to Dolores Huerta. We are looking at each other and shaking hands.

Happy Mother’s Day—with timeless advice from Mother Jones: never marry a man too scared to join a union.

Black-and-white photo of labor leader Mother Jones wearing a large hat with a ribbon. Overlaid text reads: “Mother Jones, 1905, with some dating advice: ‘How a woman can degrade herself by marrying a measly man who does not dare to join a union is beyond my comprehension.’”

After reading this headline, I now consider the Pope's fit to be union drip.

Newly elected Pope Leo stands on a balcony at the Vatican, smiling and raising both hands in a gesture of blessing. He wears ornate papal vestments in red and gold. Two clergymen stand beside him, one holding a booklet with the papal seal. The headline above reads, “Why ‘Leo’? New pope shows support for workers, labor unions and unity” from the Los Angeles Times.

President Trump is eliminating thousands of federal jobs and enforcing cuts that negatively impact the most vulnerable members of our society, yet we do nothing. We should take inspiration from the French, who were protesting austerity measures nationwide earlier today.

the average hourly pay for an Amazon Fresh Delivery Driver is $18 an hour, but sure, send them into an evacuation zone

Bryce Wagoner, a director who lives in Hollywood Heights in the evacuation area, stepped onto his third-floor balcony to see the Hollywood Hills ablaze in the distance. Helicopters carrying wate churned overhead and sirens blared. He planned to monitor the situation and leave if the fire seemed to become more of a threat.
He was waiting for a $300 Amazon Fresh delivery that was still scheduled to arrive in about an hour.
