No surprise, her as after 911, the first two artists to respond with the words we needed were KRS-One with Down Wit US thanks to the Town’s Davey D and the Boss’ Rising album. Rap has a long anti-war history

Hitting all the greats, today, @ruairidubh.bsky.social

Yes. And what did Eric Swalwell do in Alameda County DA’s office? CA incarcerates disproportionate numbers of Black and Latino folks and “tough on crime” (it’s down still) and CDCR takes lions share of budget. Don’t need Gavin2.0

Robert Mueller should have lived to hear this. @democrats.org you ket him -and us-down.

In just the first six days of the Iran war, the U.S. spent at least $11.3 billion and the real economic cost will likely be far higher. Paying for an unsanctioned war voters didn’t ask for is why you don’t have healthcare btw… It’s not undocumented migrants. It’s not unions. It’s endless wars.

One of the tragedies of this Administration is it has ruined satire for at least a generation.

God the #Warriors and #Celtics are class acts! #CelticPride ☘️

#Celtics showing up. Going all the way this year. #7 #JaylenBrown He is making his team dig deep.

If we can capture another country's president, can another country come and capture ours? Asking for a friend.

Took a walk with my daughter before the next round of rains. We pretended we were in Ireland, looking for faeries, while we planned the overthrow of the parltriarchy. #NorCal

Remembering Betty Reid Soskin, a remarkable woman who lived and made #HERstory #nationalparks

Betty Reid Soskin saw the Homefront workers from the South, streaming into CA for jobs at the shipyards. She witnessed Black workers who had taken tests (by mail and phone) arrive to find the job was "gone".

Rest in Power, Beloved Sister, Betty Reid . The first recipient if the Contra Costa Labor Council’s Frances Perkins award. Betty left NOLA as a small child during the 1927 Flood. In her various careers, she showed where the US’s racist, Jim us Crow permeated unions, worksites, military, etc in CA

Invite @lorenagonzalez.bsky.social It will settle by midnight. #solidarity

In the Celtic’s tradition of team-, not self- promotion, the true stoic in all situations and being a f&$;:ng mensch, Jaylen is Boston at its best! #CelticsPride 🍀

He is missed - and remembered.

Thank you, Farm Workers! As I enjoy my green beans almondine, baked squash with maple syrup, roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, apple pie, I will think of your essential work. Si se puede!

Rest in Power, Sir. music.youtube.com/watch?v=jdEA...

So cool. On my laptop typo’d “Feminist” to Fenian”. I like it 🇮🇪🚺

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

RIP Jamal Khashoggi

Reality?! You want reality MBS? Nearly 3,000 People lost their lives that day. Illness and heartbreak impacted thousands more. To this day! Fuck you, you murdering bastard. #kashoggi was one hundred times the man you think you are.

Siblings! Pagan, please join me in donating to the grieving family of our Sister, #AmberCzech. Men, please help your sick, poisoned brothers. #EndGenderBasedViolence. gofund.me/779b40c73

…and still women and women-owned start-ups only receive 4% of venture capital and 11% of BANK LOANS. Discrimination. Investors leaving money on the table as these businesses have great ROI

For those in the back: women are NOT the problem! Workplace cultures that don’t recognize and respect working family needs ( childcare, sick leave, paid family leave, women’s health and mental health -men’s, too- equal pay, etc) or discrimination at work are the problem.

Hey, #NorthernCA #CD3 friends, family, neighbors and co-workers, check this out: Kiley voted for all of this pain

Thank you, @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov #AG #democracy #anti-racist warrior

Precinct walking with Labor and my beautiful Sisters! #Yeson50 and what a nice reminder of a Real Supreme Justice!

Blessed Samhain, Siblings! The alter is up and a year of grief and loss on so many levels, is bid farewell. Looking forward to a season of convalescence, comfort and creativity.

IKR!? And IF (big if) there is ever another Dem president, they had better never attend a bs “prayer breakfast”. They took advantage of our civility.

The saying goes:”Europe has a safety net. America has women.” We’ve done the “free” work of child & elder care, pick up and drop-off, sports practice and games support, household shopping, cleaning, cooking… and we have 12-14% less “free time” than male partners

Hard

It’s “well regulated” not unregulated

Remember, #laborcrime, exploitation, wage theft and abuse if workers, too, in that great novel.

…and you kept your joints rolled up in them, like beautiful sardines. Until your mother found them (it’s 1979, folks) and it was a cruel summer indeed.

In the ’80s they had a formulation of Sucrets that was like a Novocain shot to the head. You couldn’t feel anything above your neck. You might chew your tongue off, sure, but you didn’t feel that damn throat tickle.

Release the files!

@calwc Because the people writing and designing this are same institutions’ and demographic that continues to benefit-exclusively-and their sources were written by their fathers, grandfathers,

Colbert-Kimmel 2028: You can’t shut us up

@amydiehl.bsky.social such excellent timing as 5,000 union tradeswomen convene in Chicago for the annual #TradeswomenBuildNations conference. I heard figure closer to 3%. We’ll see if #NABTU is serious about recruiting and retaining women in trades when 5% are BMs, BAs, and 5% attend the NABTU con
