Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

And there's the truth that people will still try to say it's out of context. How many times must these guys lie to their constituents & they buy it hook line and sinker. So Sad . Johnson told White House that Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies, sources say search.app/YY6zi

A sweepstakes for you Union folks like me out there! cont.st/vuOvct_DzWQhdb

Congrats to the 21,000 @uptecwa.bsky.social health care, research and technical workers at the University of California on voting to ratify their new contract! After 17 months of negotiations, this new contract is a testament to the power of our solidarity.

Send a letter for Union Solidarity. As little as it may seem it matters more then you'll ever know to all working families. act.aflcio.org/letters/send...

Let's get together And feel Alright

@governor.ca.gov Hey if your looking for a 2028 running mate I think @aoc.bsky.social Would be an unstoppable duo that would bring fairness and equity to our country we so desperately need. 😎

This is the saddest example of how far we have fallen as a country. To those ice agents I hope the cries of those children haunt your dreams and your psyche every day. The utter shame you should feel for collecting a paycheck for ripping kids from there mothers and each other will be your legacy. 🤬

This is leadership and helping people to better our world and our country. The white house should take notes on what it's like to be a real American patriot. Help people don't hate them. youtube.com/shorts/jxFvb...

So @ what point do Ice agents get prosecuted for their illegal and egregious behavior? Cause I think when citizens die and are assaulted for protesting and detained unlawfully that we are there. youtube.com/shorts/m6jeW...

This would’ve been our president in 2001 if that little weasel Little Bush didn’t cheat. World would look totally different smh

Dear immigrants and American citizens. Do have your lawyers numbers handy. 😎 youtube.com/shorts/06jJW...

This Is Fascism

Sophice to say I have never seen anything like this divisive on a .gov website. MAGA Republicans have no shame as to how to spread their messages of lies and hate. Literally came across this searching camp areas in Northern California. Crazy.

I proudly stand in solidarity with the nearly 5,000 SEIU-UWH Sutter Health workers across Northern California who are demanding a fair contract with decent wages and affordable health benefits. Sutter must get serious and reach a fair deal now.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

An excellent interview with a Berkeley professor that is introspective on what history is currently repeating itself not with communism but a "red" scare on being a liberal thinker for others rights. youtu.be/LEEHBCgtEpQ?...

Jeff Bezos has cozied up to Trump and silenced criticism of him at the Washington Post. Now Amazon will pay Trump's FTC a slap-on-the-wrist fine of $2.5B — just 1/10 of 1% of its total market cap — to settle a major lawsuit. More pay-to-play schemes in Trump's swamp.

YES on Prop 50 in California folks it's how we keep elections free and fair!

Protect freedom of speech! Take action NOW! actionnetwork.org/letters/stan...

Health care costs for working families will skyrocket if Congress fails to extend the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits. Without them, health care premiums will go up by as much as 75%. Tell Congress to stop rising health care costs! act.afscme.org/forms/tell-c...

Watching CNN Kimmel commentators I can't help but be giddy with glee that his ratings tomorrow are going to be ridiculously higher than any of these Republican pundits could have ever imagined. I can't wait to see what their argument for it will be? Ohh the tangled web they weave.

Congrats @jimmykimmel.com Continue to be a powerful voice for the American people on your platform as we fight the gross intolerance and bigotry that spews forth from this Whitehouse. Your contributions matter and continue to inspire hope in us all. 😎

Know that this wasn't because Disney wanted to but most certainly through immense public pressure by people like us and Mr. Kimmel no doubt seeking legal counsel as well they were forced to do the right thing and through this action admit that it was a gross over reach of government oversight. #WIN

Stand with these workers for better and fairer working conditions!! Modesto blaze a path to a brighter future.

Hollywood should take note that your voice does matter and if you stand on the side of a better future and a clearer more inclusive history because as Americans that is what we all must strive for. To stand together and say I respect and lift up my neighbors. youtu.be/-M8qyok42xo?...

BJ's in Modesto looking to Unionize show your support this coming week! #Union#UFCW8#NVLF youtube.com/shorts/ntk7O...

Unions not only defend our freedoms in the workplace, but they have also been on the frontlines responding to this regime's attacks on our democracy. Is it any wonder why Trump and many of the corporations bowing down to him are so staunchly anti-union?

A coordinated effort to silence critics and free speech. Must be a coincidence.

Dear @abcnetwork.bsky.social Due to your infringement on @jimmykimmel.com free speech I will, going forward never watch another production of yours again. Thanks but no thanks. I won't be an adjunct to you placating a despot.

Dear federal gov. This is common sense science based governance you should try it some time! @governor.ca.gov

If this doesn't enrage the non union Kroger workers into joining a Union it should. If the store managers at Kroger were smart they'd unionize as well. Company have been throwing working away for far too long just to step over there bodies for dollars. Wealth inequality is real.

California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation. So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.

In California we don't bend we break! We break the mold , we break the status quo, we break ranks for change and justice, we lead the fight for a better world through policies that every day help shape the future of other states and the world over. In order to affect real change we must continue.

The "common good" is a set of shared values about what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together in the same society. A concern for the common good—keeping the common good in mind—is a moral attitude. It recognizes that we’re all in it together.

Why am I not shocked.

We will never forget the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Twenty-four years later, we continue to share their stories, support their loved ones, and honor the heroes who responded that day and in the years that followed.

My heart goes out to his family as well as all those families who have suffered being victims of gun violence. We however need to address the massive elephant in the room which is that this violence is constantly perpetuated in our society today and then glossed over in real time by all of us. STOP

The only way to deal with a tyrant is to stand up to him. Harvard — where I taught many years ago — is doing just that.

My people in California want to get in the fight and make a difference this is your chance to either put boots on the ground or inform people through phone banking! It's never been more critical so join now. www.mobilize.us/nvlf/?event_...

Today, I was joined by organizations representing 100,000 doctors & medical experts. They know — I know — that vaccines work, and have saved millions of lives. We cannot allow Sec. Kennedy or anyone else to undermine faith in science and put the health of our children at risk.

How is it that in 2025 we can believe we live in a civilized society that is forward thinking when we create archaic laws and thought processes that put innocent people in jeopardy for the sake of laws that don't enhance or benefit the masses. It blows my mind. youtube.com/shorts/Vt21K...

More of this.
