A union-made cocktail for Valentine's day? Don't mind if I do! It's a NY Sour with Knob Creek Bourbon #unionvalentine #ufcw #knobcreek

Happy Valentine's Day from NYC's Labor Movement!

“Stay strong and justice will prevail.” At the AFL-CIO Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights conference, we sent postcards to our union siblings still being held in ICE custody to share our solidarity and tell them we stand with them in their fight for justice.

RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out. But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein. Now we learned that they were in business together. He has no business being our Commerce Secretary. He should resign. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Congrats to our union kin who transformed the Super Bowl field into a world-class stage!

Haha get her ass @ufw.bsky.social

Terrified Conservatives Lose Ability To Speak English After Exposure To Bad Bunny Performance https://theonion.com/terrified-conservatives-lose-ability-to-speak-english-after-exposure-to-bad-bunny-performance-dios-mio-cry-millions-of-panicking-republicans/

It's hilarious that Fox News treats these things as deeply scandalous, in between segments where a bunch of adults are sitting around saying stuff like, well, you know, fourteen-year-olds *are* pretty sexy these days ...

Did what the billionaires paid him to do. I hope he is universally recognized and reviled as the mercenary that he is.

Come shopping with us as we get ready for our union-made Super Bowl party!

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

As you get ready for #SuperBowl weekend, make sure to buy union-made goods! https://aflcio.org/SuperBowl

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

Yes we are. We’re going to stop them

Washington DC is often vilified as just the capital, the rest of the country somehow doesn’t see us as ‘real’ and I’ve been told to my fucking face that I’m not a ‘real American’ b/c I live here but DC is absolutely a real place with real folks who are really hurting.

These decisions affect literally thousands of DC area families. And they were made by folks enjoying record profits (and/or the fruits of their corruption)

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Today we mourn what’s been taken from our communities. Today we organize for what comes next. Today we take a stand. It’s time to get #ICEOut of our communities.

“We cannot simply sit by and allow this to continue. We must use every tool that we have to fight back.”

The airport action was incredibly powerful. Attendance well into the four digits. Over 100 clergy took arrest. People were fucking angry. It was legit cold.

This is precisely why the labor movement led the lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court to try to protect 300+ million people’s sensitive Social Security information from falling into the hands of DOGE. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/20/trump-musk-doge-social-security-00737245

Seriously, get rid of your Ring cameras!

The Trump administration’s militarized immigration enforcement is putting innocent working people in danger. We stand in solidarity with working families in Minnesota. America’s unions have your backs, @mnaflcio.org ✊

Baltimore Mayor @mayorbmscott.bsky.social: “The more united we are, the more powerful we are.” #MLK2026

Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee

It whips that not only is this guy absolutely going to get reinstated with back pay thanks to UNIONS but he’s already made nearly $1mil in a GFM which means many, many people are now incentivized to scream at Trump that he’s a pedophile

Beginning today, nurses across NYC are on strike for safe staffing and dignity. While CEO’s pocket millions, nurses carry a staffing crisis they didn’t create. We stand with @nynurses.bsky.social #PatientOverProfits

Last night, the CBA between @thewnbpa and the WNBA expired. We stand with the players. Without the players, there is no @wnba. Pay equity is not optional. It is earned.
It is deserved.
It is overdue.

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

The Trump admin’s reckless ICE operations are trampling on working people’s fundamental rights and freedoms. We demand that ICE stop these dangerous operations and leave our communities and workplaces before even more innocent people are hurt or killed. https://bit.ly/4sFzgGL

Protests mounting against ICE in various parts of D.C. tonight. In the middle of the U Street corridor, occupying the intersection with 14th Street: “Remember Renee Good,” one of the many signs here reads.

Do your part to starve the AI slop beast and subscribe to this list.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

ACA health insurance bills could more than DOUBLE for millions of people starting this month, since Trump’s allies in Congress allowed ACA subsidies to expire. But Congress can fix this. Tell your rep: vote YES on the ACA tax credit extension!

Five years ago.

Start the new year off right at work: organize a union with your coworkers. Get started:

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments. One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿
