Excited to share I’ve been awarded a Creative Residency at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences for this summer! This is my first residency since becoming a parent so it’s a big deal. Grateful for my @newsguild.org union contract for this “sabbatical” time off.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

To be clear: These people do not care about you, your coworkers, or the average worker in America. Repealing established, life-saving agencies like OSHA is not making America great or healthy; it is harming workers. Show your coworkers radical love and organize a union

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away. It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.

To all personnel:
At the direction of Agency leadership, the USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan building in Washington, D.C. will be closed to Agency personnel on Monday, February 3, 2025. Agency personnel normally assigned to work at USAID headquarters will work remotely tomorrow, with the exception of personnel with essential on-site and building maintenance functions individually contacted by senior leadership. Further guidance will be forthcoming.

Yes, making art matters during these times. Art is an inherent part of our maintaining our humanity in the face of dehumanizing forces. AND we must also engage in political struggle. This requires joining a movement & a collective program. This means sometimes not making art. We can do both!

I feel like Democrats lost one election and we suddenly decided that Trump was invincible. Here’s the truth: He’s a fool, his policies are terrible as well as deeply unpopular, and he makes a dozen unforced errors before breakfast. Fight back, there is going to be a lot of opportunity to win.

16 million workers were represented by a #union in 2024 while 60 million workers have said they would join a union if they could. Why the disconnect? Anti-union employers spend $433 million per year on union-avoidance consultants, according to @epi.org research. www.epi.org/publication/...

The way forward for Democrats is a robust economic populism that seeks to shatter the tremendous level of wealth inequality that exists in the United States. That means fully embracing the labor movement and rejecting crony capitalism that currently dominates our politics.

No matter who is on Trump’s labor board, or what challenges the @nlrbgov.bsky.social faces, you can still build collective power in your workplace. You don’t need labor laws to have your coworkers backs & your bosses backed up against a wall. 😎
