Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 💛 to our trans 1199ers, we love you, we see you, and we will protect you! ✊🏳️‍⚧️💜

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.) But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

Beautiful video on the importance of Virginia homecare workers winning collective bargaining rights after decades of fighting.

WGAE members at CBS News 24/7 are walking out tomorrow. Management had every opportunity to reach a fair deal with the 60-member bargaining unit. Time's up. Join us in NYC and SF bright and early! RSVP links below ⬇️

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

This latest regime-change serves the interests of no one except war profiteers and those who seek to distract the public from Trump's deeply unpopular domestic agenda of massive healthcare cuts, flagrant civil rights abuses, a growing cost-of-living crisis, and protecting the ‘Epstein class.’

Weeksville tells the story of true self-determination. Today we celebrate the full restoration of the Hunterfly Road Houses at Weeksville Heritage Center — preserving not just buildings, but a living legacy of Black resilience and self-governance.

The U.S killed three more people in a boat strike in the Caribbean yesterday. The toll of these these extrajudicial killings now exceeds 150 people. All known attacks are chronicled in our tracker, @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

This guy gets it.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

On February 9th, MCU and union avoidance law firm Jackson Lewis unjustly fired the union employees' Chief Shop Steward and OPEIU Local 153 Board Member, Renee Spradley for her union activity. We demand that Municipal Credit Union re-instate Renee immediately! actionnetwork.org/letters/mcu-...

Happy Lunar New Year, 1199ers! 🌕 may the year of the horse bring u great solidarity ✊ and red envelopes! 🧧😇

The U.S. military killed more civilians in a boat strike on Friday -- the first in the Caribbean since mid-November. Our @theintercept.com tracker has the full civilian toll of these extrajudicial killings. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

🚨 ICE is authorized to covertly infiltrate and interact with social media accounts under a new program called "masked engagement," per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

“These layoffs, which are the direct result of the repellent corporate greed that Alden Global Capital is known for, are being done without any concern for the future of the @nydailynews.com. More from our @nydnunion.bsky.social's statement nyguild.org/post/stateme...

New NYC geography.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

One swift blow from above will sever your home from the panopticon's icy grasp. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/remove-you...

A rainbow, a family portrait, a heart. These are the drawings found in handwritten letters we received from children detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center:

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments."

Thousands of our Haitian coworkers and neighbors had their work permits revoked in the Trump admin’s latest attack on TPS. Politically targeting immigrant communities and forcing them out of their jobs, our unions and the economy destabilizes workplaces and rips families apart.

Dream big!

If any AFGE union members/officials want to speak with me about this, even anonymously, my email is [email protected]

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

It's Day 5 of the @nynurses.bsky.social strike! As they hold the line and demand safe staffing levels, we have an opportunity to show our solidarity as union siblings. ✊ Please consider donating to the NYSNA Strike Hardship Fund to provide direct aid to their members: nysna.tfaforms.net/5110966

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Agreed. #NYCNurseStrike

🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES! we’ve all seen the video—there’s no justifying it.

You don't reform this. You can't fix it with "better training." An institution that behaves this way is functioning exactly as intended.

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

Side by side, 1199SEIU healthcare workers and NYSNA nurses (@nynurses.bsky.social) deliver lifesaving care to New Yorkers. Safe staffing and good jobs mean better care for all! Read the full statement from @1199pres.1199seiu.org at the link in our bio.

Holding stories like this is a longstanding practice and also completely antithetical to the entire purpose of journalism. RIP Gawker.

On December 26, 1862, 38 Dakota men were hanged under orders of Abraham Lincoln, in the largest public mass extinction in US history. Lakota Nation vs. United States (2022) dir. Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli, words and narration by Layli Long Soldier from her poem "38"

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social
