Ladies and gentlemen I give you our new Secretary of Education

I learned something new about carrots today. Mass consolidation hurts us all.

Organize. A. Union.

We have until January 20, 2025 to get a bunch of shit done.

Three Rules of Fight Club 2028: 1: Organize a Union. 2: Be a militant, member focused union. 3: Strike 2028.

Hector Pradis’s union activism has shown him the importance of solidarity in the face of management that is willing to push merger that would bring layoffs and higher grocery bills at checkout.

Today @ericblanc.bsky.social and I co-published an article on why labor’s resurgence can continue. While Trump is preparing major attacks against labor, unions are actually well-positioned to continue their organizing and bargaining momentum. 1/ radishresearch.substack.com/p/labors-res...

SEIU comes out in favor of blocking arms to Israel. Unions by and large have been on the right side of this issue for a long time and Biden, the "most pro-union president," did not care.

One Table. 2028. Workers. Consumers. Patients. Families. Children. Humans. One Table. Organize.

Read this in the early(ish) 1990s and it changed my life. Rather than abandoning the radical politics of my punk teens, it showed that they were the only thing that made sense. 💙📚

My first day here. We got work to do to build a better future. 1: Protect each other. 2: Organize for real power by winning a union at your workplace. 3: Strike 2028. 4: Bend billionaires and the parties they own toward workers.

When billionaires are in charge of both parties, what do we do? Stand up. Fight back.

“They vote themselves their raises. They don’t have organizing departments. They don’t mobilize their members … Because they all want to stay in power.” Can grocery workers take back their union? Faye Guenther is determined to find out. inthesetimes.com/article/revo...

“At UFCW 3000, we are willing to take on these big fights, willing to take bold action, and willing to be relentless fighters, because we are led by our members and rooted in their needs.” —Faye Guenther #DemocraticNationalConvention2024 #Unions #Solidarity #Chicago

Organize a union. Build for a strike in 2028. Do those two things and we will be in a better spot in 2028.

Yooooo, something is afoot in the bad place. Tell your wife. Tell your kids. Tell your employer. It's time to #eXit the bad place! @netrootsnation.bsky.social, @freepress.bsky.social, @ufcw3000.bsky.social, @religiondispatches.bsky.social and it seems to be spreading :-)

Even if you are not at a labor organization, the 2028 General Strike offers a concrete organizing framework for your next four years of work. Building the organizational and community capacity it will take to be a part of this will pay dividends beyond strike day. Get to it.

REI's union-busting tactics have activists outside (but allied with) the labor movement standing in solidarity with REI green vests! Sehmona Moreno is a climate activist & Executive Board member of 350 Seattle; she is running to be on REI's Board of Directors!

Last week UFCW 3000 President Faye Guenther with presidents from @ufcw324.bsky.social & UFCW 770, joined UFCW 7’s Bargaining Team in Denver for Kroger & Albertsons negotiations. Their fight is our fight!

We;ve been here on Blueky for a minute, but today we joined in the #eXit from Elon's zombified version of Twitter. Disinformation and hate should not be fed.
