MTG resigning… That’s MAGA ripping at the soul of itself… … and it’s not great for the opposition either It *IS* that $&@#% up This is how a democracy implodes, and I’m not even in the ballpark of the neighborhood of the town… of the state… of any of her fans

This is bittersweet. I’m glad Bovino is leaving Chicago, but the trauma and bs he’ll bring to another city is not a victory. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Democrats must HOLD THE LINE. Do not cave to right-wing ideologues who have ripped away health care from millions of Americans. Keep fighting, and we will have your back.

Political violence is evil. 3 months ago, former MN Speaker Melissa Hortman & her husband were murdered & State Sen John Hoffman & his wife were shot. Now Charlie Kirk has been murdered. Donald Trump & Paul Pelosi have both been attacked. Steve Scalise, Gabby Giffords. This is everyone’s problem.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.

Too bad. I always liked his version of Superman. I feel like he’s been searching for relevance ever since. It’s no wonder he found his way to crazy town.

[A]n attorney for James, said, “Investigating the fraud case Attorney General James won against President Trump and his businesses has to be the most blatant and desperate example of this administration’s carrying out the president’s political retribution campaign.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/08/p...

‘Nuff said

Political violence tragically continues. with the assassination of an elected in Minn, just a 6 hour drive from the Chicago area. With another elected & his wife clinging to life, we see how delicate our democracy is. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

What got us here? Trump pivots to xenophobic hardline populism every time he steps on a rake. But these aren’t abstract messaging games. At our best, America is a promise for refuge & prosperity. Trump doesn’t want us at our best. He wants us to wallow in his misery. America is better than.

The devastating cuts in the GOP tax bill are an attack on workers, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, reproductive rights, healthcare, clean energy jobs, and the environment in IL and beyond. We stand united against these cuts and urge the Senate to reject them.

When customers visit Offshore Rooftop at Navy Pier, Server Frank Martinez says they often ask, “How do I get to Chicago’s other great tourist attractions and events?” He tells them public transit is the best, most affordable way to get around. Public Transit drives our economy #UnitedWeMove

CFL Secretary-Treasurer and proud Filipino American Don Villar was on hand at City Hall earlier this week for a resolution honoring Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. #AAPIHeritageMonth

“Transit is the heartbeat of the city. And without us, we are the veins and the vessels that make the city move.” Now Springfield needs to move on a bill to save our public transit! #UnitedWeMove

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Let's set the record straight on the Obama Center and Chicago's hard-working and talented union construction workers.

Love you Lori, until we meet again friend.

For 10 yrs., Lori Healey’s been a close ally & confidante of mine.. Total badass woman who loved the Chicago. An important supporter of @chicagolabor.bsky.social, Lori vigorously both Hire360 & the CFL Initiative. I know she’s kayaking up in the clouds, www.chicagobusiness.com/obituaries/f...

Workers are facing the most broad and brutal attacks we’ve seen in recent history. But as long as we have our unions, we know we are not alone in the fight. On May Day, we stand with workers from across the world in strength and solidarity, and recommit to the fight for justice for all workers.

We demand Congress support federal civil servants who keep workers healthy and safe on the job through the fiery words of the remarkable Mary “Mother” Jones: “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!” 2/2

Today is Workers’ Memorial Day. This morning we gathered at the Stockyard Gate & stood together to remember workers who died on the job. With the recent deaths of carpenter Francisco J. Ruiz-Reyes and CFD Capt. David Meyer in mind, we call on congress to stop the efforts to gut OSHA and NIOSH. 1/2

We enjoyed a beautiful morning yesterday for Chicago's Union-Powered 5K! Thanks for stopping by and joining in the fun ABC 7!

On Workers Memorial Day, America’s unions mourn the workers who have lost their lives or been injured or ill on the job. Every worker should be able to go home at the end of the day safe and healthy, and we’ll keep fighting like hell to make that a reality for EVERY worker.

Four down, two to go! Join us on May Day for the Rally & March at Union Park at 11 and the Haymarket Memorial for the CFL & ILHS May Day commemoration at 4:30!

Lindsey Graham is a moron.

I was honored to attend mtgs in Rome last May concerning Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato si, “our common home” I am hopeful that his work to support workers, migrants, and the environment through Laudato si will continue.

Bravo! 🙌 www.reuters.com/legal/trump-...

“When the workers who make sure our food is safe to eat, care for our veterans, protect us from public health emergencies and much more no longer have a voice on the job… everyday Americans lose the services they count on.” – AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social

Grocery store egg prices keep rising while wholesale costs drop. That’s not a supply chain issue – it's a deliberate choice by giant corporations to squeeze working people.

Our country has a solemn duty to support our veterans. They deserve better than being fired by an unaccountable billionaire. Veteran jobs and the essential services they provide and rely on are under attack. Join us on June 6th. www.unite4veterans.org

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

Are you ready to join the fight? #RiseUp #FightBack #HandsOff

Just got my #covidbooster at Cook County Health - like the flu shot & other preventative medicine, getting a booster reduces the chance I get sick and also reduces the chances of someone else also getting sick. For people who are vulnerable, whether they know it or not, could make the difference!

We need to continue to invest in good union clean energy jobs. Build our communities while prorecting the environment. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

A critical bill MUST pass the Illinois House by April 11th! Please take 30 seconds to email your state representative to urge them to vote YES on Safe Schools for All (HB 3247), and push back against Trump's anti-immigrant agenda: icirr.quorum.us/campaign/117...

County board is saying goodbye to Anthony Quezada, already approved as Chicago alderman. Lots of accolades for his ability to strike up seemingly unlikely friendships. Scott Britton, who considers himself center-left, described him half-jokingly as the “gay Latino socialist son I never had.”

For those who didn’t pull cash out yesterday. Yes, the market goes up and down, and we’ve seen moments like this before. But a tool that can be used to help workers strategically, is having the opposite affect. Total chaos. www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/i...
