“More than 2,300 armed National Guard troops are currently patrolling the District unlawfully. That unprecedented deployment is inflicting irreparable harm to the District’s sovereignty, its economy, and public safety.”

I genuinely don't know what we'd do this year without @51st.news and @maustermuhle.bsky.social. Why is a scrappy worker-owned outlet always the first to get to the crux of an issue? This caliber of reporting used to be normal but profit-greedy hedge funds have been slowly sucking it out of our lives

I'm so glad this mandatory two-factor authentication is going to protect me from data centers driving up my Pepco bills @pepcoconnect.bsky.social

Good Cop vs Bad Cop? I don't understand. Oh, you mean like Violence Interrupter vs Just a Cop?

Thanks for the reminder to #BoycottABC services, venmo!

Today we are reminded that all federal employees take an oath of office to “protect and defend the Constitution.” #ConstitutionDay

Very welcome news. More of this please!

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

It's officially been over a year since I left my dishes on the counter without washing them. In this award speech I would like to thank

This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.

If you think the AI is smarter than you, you're probably right.

I dunno man if it's between defund the police and defund literally everything else then the choice is obvious

Just some union hotties linking up for the Labor Day march. #FreeDC! @freedcproject.bsky.social @washbaltpaw.bsky.social @prideatwork.org

I like to think my cat and I have crossed paths in previous lives. Like I was a fierce cavalryman and he was my trusty steed. Or vice versa.

Hard to believe this guy beat the arrogant perv, real head-scratcher

Did you know you can report “Icy (ICE-y) road conditions on Waze? Just a helpful hint if you see ICE around your area. We don’t want anyone to slip on it. Putting the human back in humanities.

I regret nothing except the people I didn't bring along with me.

I'm forced to assume Carrie Underwood can manipulate the fabric of the universe, if she can indeed slash a single hole that punctures all four tires.

The state does not hate the homeless—it fears them. Their bodies, on its sidewalks, testify to the lies it tells about freedom. This order does not restore order. It disappears the evidence. Baldwin warned us: power always hides what it cannot heal. #ExecutiveOrder #Homelessness #SatireIsNotEnough

I guess moral of the story is don't sue the Wall Street Journal?

Power's out. Which billionaires would like to join me and my cat as we read @kimkelly.bsky.social's spooky stories about workers organizing for better wages and safety standards? #FightLikeHell

🚨 STATE DEPT colleagues: we are hearing there will be mass RIFs today. EVERYONE who wants to show support: solidarity action planned this afternoon, details here👇 🚨

We are one step away from forcing disabled people on benefits being forced into farm labor camps. With RFK Jrs database of autistic people and interest in replacing prescriptions with forced labor, we should all be worried. www.politico.com/live-updates...

As always, AI is trying to steal and butcher the jobs rich people think don't need to exist. Like investigative reporters.

Checked all over. Still #NoKings

Dems forget that voting is a group activity. Stop hunting for swing voters. Build up a candidate and a platform that thousands of politically engaged people will push everyone they know to vote for.

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Within days of the start of the Trump administration, Elon Musk and DOGE began work to dismantle USAID, upending the lives of people around that world that depend on America's support. This is the chaos that DOGE brings everywhere they go.

The exemptions come in the form of *tax deductions* that some workers will be eligible to claim when they go to file their taxes *the next year.* FYI that these proposed deductions are temporary, expiring after a few years. This NBC article has a good breakdown: www.nbcnews.com/politics/eco...

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A massive crowd is gathering in DC demanding that SEIU CA President David Huerta be freed. #FreeDavidEndRaids Find your event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEnd... PASS IT ON!

@seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta was violently arrested by ICE for doing what he’s always done: putting solidarity into practice and defending fellow workers. Join @seiu.org and the labor movement today as we rally to fight for David’s release.

And now I know the shock of looking at the stove clock at 3:50 and thinking the oven's been on all day.

DOGE literally (!) broke into the U.S. Institute for Peace and gutted the place. After a judge ruled that DOGE had no right to fire its workers, they came back and found the place in disrepair. That’s DOGE in a nutshell.

Tonight's milestone proves what's been obvious to us - Starbucks partners aren't just ready for change, they're ready to organize and fight for it. Here's to the next 600 union victories, and many MANY more. ✊ (art by SBWU union member Courtney!)

Democrats ... get a frickin clue

Step 1: Restrict public resources Step 2: Force public goods to seek out other resources Step 3: Profit off the public goods Step 4: See if the public good survives. Avoid caring either way

See you back at HQ soon!

Congrats @altusip.bsky.social !!

Workers at the Kennedy Center have faced layoffs, censorship and uncertainty from management about their jobs. Now, they’re organizing. Congrats to the Kennedy Center United Arts Workers on announcing their intent to unionize.
