A cluster of lightning-sparked wildfires raged across parts of Tuolumne and Calaveras counties in Northern California, engulfing part of a historic Gold Rush mining town once home to thousands of Chinese immigrants, forcing widespread evacuations in the area.

Dear Dems, Socialism is good.

Sacramento immigration raid violated court order, UFW and ACLU say in filing www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

Black unemployment has risen to 7.5%. We ask again, President Trump: what happened to all those “Black jobs” you promised?

Today’s jobs report shows the Trump admin’s policies are slowing job creation, increasing unemployment and disproportionately harming Black workers. America’s unions will keep fighting for all workers to have the freedom, fairness and security they need. aflcio.org/press/releas...

"Anita", a UFW member, leaves the vineyard after an evening of harvesting wine grapes. "I am thankful that we are able to make good wages to support our family. Best of all I will get home before my kids wake up and will to be able to take them to school." #WeFeedYou

If it doesn't have the power of the purse *or* the power to declare war *or* the power do conduct oversight, does anyone know what Congress is for?

$2.13 an hour for restaurant workers? That’s not a wage—it’s exploitation. Every worker deserves pay that reflects their worth. Time to #RaiseTheWage.

Tariffs don’t raise wages—unions do. Trump’s trade policies won’t fix the challenges workers are facing. Organizing together is still the most powerful tool working people have. seiu.co/3JPtFLU

"Sure, give us corporate tax cuts, it'll all magically trickle down to workers,” they said." What actually happened? Greedflation Record corporate profit margins Massive stock buybacks Huge executive bonuses Union-busting Flat worker wages Stop rewarding corporate greed.

2025’s labor market is rough for native-born workers and deporting immigrants won’t change that. Real solutions: better wages and job security. seiu.co/4nC6403

Throughout our history, the labor movement has marched, fought and stood together to win every bit of progress. Black trade unionists have played a critical role in—and often were the backbone of—all those victories. More from AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond:

The neat thing about disability access is how almost all grocery stores hate autistic people, but we don't matter bc law treats disability as if it equals wheelchairs fitting in a physical space, as the only thing that was meant by "accessibility" - also fuck short people and so on 🌞

"Jose" and "Joel" are irrigators. They are taking their morning break and share, "Today we will connect 2,000 pipes in the lettuce fields. It will take us 10 hours to do this. We work in a team of 3, one person drives the tractor and the other two lower the pipes." #WeFeedYou

Megachurches: hey it's our tax shelter not your homeless shelter, hippie

Woman who has spent her whole career as a drooling and vindictive antifeminist has the astounding nerve to call someone else “tedious.”

It's not a hard choice. A beautiful convention in Germany for those who have the means to go there, or a Nazi circle jerk in Florida run by people that think that their bullshit needs to be normalized and accepted under the moniker "love and tolerate".

"Adan" sent us this photo from the raisin harvest in Kern County CA. The tractor driver is dumping the grapes onto sheets so they could dry in the sun. They then we'll be taken to the packing house. #WeFeedYou

Please know that this applies to feminism too. Men got better at masking their misogyny, and the masks are being thrown off now. Unfortunately, as women of color, we're getting it from all sides. ☕️💜

I don't know how to explain to people that your romantic partner should derive joy from making you happy. ☕️💜

Think about the words men have for women who are willing and excited to have sex with them, and understand that many of them don't actually want women's consent. ☕️💜

Need to discuss how insane it is that men will actively pursue a woman who was just minding her business, living her best life, and manipulate her into a relationship, only to abuse her once she falls for him. This is dating. ☕️💜
