@billsmafiababes.bsky.social LET’S GOOOOOO!!! Bills 41 Ravens 40

Huge thanks to our @nysutwny.bsky.social #NYSUT members for organizing one of the biggest Fix Tier 6 rallies yet! Together, we’re turning up the heat to fix what’s broken—because 30 years should be a career. 💪 @coachcant.bsky.social

The Trump administration is attacking Americans' collective bargaining rights. This illegal attack on workers will also hurt communities served by educators, healthcare professionals, and the workers who safeguard the food supply and preserve Medicaid and Medicare. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

It's not *likely* illegal. It's *highly* illegal.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Trump golfed while the economic crisis he created wrecked our markets.

Proud to stand with thousands in 🦬 NY saying #HandsOff. Thank you @nysut.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social Director @doraleland.bsky.social Thank you @reptimkennedy.bsky.social for standing with us. @aftunion.bsky.social @melindajperson.bsky.social @mrgriz.bsky.social @nysaflcio.bsky.social

We will not let this administration and their billionaire friends loot our government and gut the essential services working people rely on without a fight!

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

America’s unions and working people across the country are in the streets rallying today to send a message: #HandsOff our unions, our contracts, and our essential services!

Show me what democracy looks like- this is what democracy looks like Buffalo NY!!!!!!

Buffalo here. My husband grew up in Chagrin and just asked, “was there a protest in Chagrin?” Go Tigers!

Buffalo, NY Close to 10,000 people. @louisaa1.bsky.social

@meidastouch.com Close to 10,000 in Buffalo, NY. Great job by the organizers. @wnycosh.bsky.social @louisaa1.bsky.social

Great to be with our Union siblings at @uaw.org #774 for our Annual @nysaflcio.bsky.social WNY Meeting. #solidarity @aftunion.bsky.social @aflcio.org @nysut.bsky.social @nysutwny.bsky.social @melindajperson.bsky.social @reptimkennedy.bsky.social @louisaa1.bsky.social @mrgriz.bsky.social

Social Security in turmoil: — SSA website crashed four times in 10 days this month — Phone service a mess following Musk-led cuts — Agency no longer has a system to monitor customers’ experience due to DOGE — Major staff exodus www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

Fucking hell.

Proud to host @nysaflcio.bsky.social Buffalo CLC meeting with NYS Dept of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon. @coachcant.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social @nysut.bsky.social @melindajperson.bsky.social

Devastating news! This basically guts the Department of Education .

Several states are suing the Trump administration to halt hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to programs designed to train teachers in #SpecialEducation and other high-need areas. #disabilities

Education Department plans to lay off 1,300 employees as Trump vows to wind the agency down. The department is also terminating leases on buildings in cities including New York, Boston, Chicago and Cleveland. Hands off our public schools!! #MomSky apnews.com/article/educ...

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

Inspired to be with the dedicated leaders of @nysutwny.bsky.social. We won’t turn back! 🎵No you can’t scare me I’m sticking with the Union🎵 @nysut.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social @nysaflcio.bsky.social @melindajperson.bsky.social @louisaa1.bsky.social

“Don’t agonize. Organize!” Proud to join community, labor, and faith leaders to stand together. 💪👊✊. #Solidarity @nysut.bsky.social @nysutwny.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social @nysaflcio.bsky.social @aflcio.org @rweingarten.bsky.social @melindajperson.bsky.social

A good question to ask oneself at the start of each day, imho. Comrade card for 7/26/2024.

Join us February 13th www.nysut.org/news/events/...

We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Great day to train our Union Army! It may be cold outside but it’s heating up in here…#BuildYourTeam @coachcant.bsky.social @nysut.bsky.social @nysutwny.bsky.social

Sean McDermott spittin bars after being asked about Buffalo being a “city of losers”

Billionaires like Musk and Bezos want a world where the rich call the shots. Our vision is different: a vibrant democracy where every person matters, not every dollar. 2025 is the year we take the power back for the working class 💪 www.newsday.com/opinion/comm...

Unchecked algorithms are pushing harmful content to students, hurting their self-esteem, mental health & academic success. As educators, we see the impact daily—students struggling with anxiety & focus in a world dominated by tech that profits from their pain. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

In 2024, 70% of Americans approve of labor unions, which has been generally trending higher since 2009. 🎵No you can’t scare me I’m sticking with the Union.🎵

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

@nysutwny.bsky.social #LouisasArmy ready for the next battle. #Solidarity 💪👊✊#CommonGroundOverChaos @melindajperson.bsky.social @nysut.bsky.social @aflcio.org @aftunion.bsky.social @nysaflcio.bsky.social @mrgriz.bsky.social
