"Reforms" to ICE, like requiring judicial warrants for arrests, are not enough. This administration has made it clear that they have no intention of abiding by the law. Anything short of stripping funding from this tyrannical agency is failure by Congress. https://bit.ly/4btALBD

RNs at DC's largest hospital, @medstarhealth.bsky.social, were out in the cold this morning to call out management for systemic wage theft. 😡 They've falsified pay records, paid the incorrect amount, failed to pay us on the correct date, and have let missed paychecks go unpaid for weeks!!

This is the power of RN advocacy: Hundreds of National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) staff will be reinstated after major public pushback! Now, our elected leaders must finish cleaning up the mess they created and fully fund NIOSH. https://bit.ly/4pBckFT

We are outraged with the Trump administration's unilateral military action against Venezuela — especially as working class people across the U.S. are struggling here at home to afford basic necessities such as health care, food, and housing. https://bit.ly/3Nwrizi

There is no national nurse "shortage". Over 1 million licensed nurses aren’t working as nurses because hospitals are making the job untenable. This staffing crisis is an industry choice.
