Trump's Secretary of Labor is doing well 👀 www.politico.com/news/2026/02... www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/b...

Impossible to watch this performance without catching the sheer infectious joy. Simply cannot be done

A. Philip Randolph is a giant in our labor movement. As Vice President of the AFL-CIO, he fought for labor rights and pushed for desegregation and respect for civil rights. America’s unions celebrate his legacy and continue his work by mobilizing for a better future for all.

I spoke with @samforstag.bsky.social about his congressional campaign to unseat Ryan Zinke www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Amazon tried to bust a union. Workers made them pay. Since workers started organizing with Unifor, Amazon has delayed, intimidated and discriminated. Workers just won a massive back pay lawsuit, and we're in solidarity as fight for a contract. #MakeAmazonPay

Trump’s OSHA performed 20% fewer inspections and issued 42% fewer fines for severe workplace violations in 2025 www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

This significant drop off in workplace safety enforcement comes as the US Department of Labor has shed staff and revoked protections and regulatory pay increases for workers www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bosses and union-busting politicians have tried to stop workers and their unions—slashing jobs and rigging rules to scare us out of organizing—but they’re failing. The number of workers covered by union contracts is the highest it has been in 16 years! https://bit.ly/4qCMsK1

On news that the President of South Korea was sentenced to life in prison for insurrection, a good time to remember that real democracies do not hand their leaders immunity for actions in office. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/strongman-...

Bolsonaro in prison, Yeon sentenced to prison, Andrew arrested on his birthday...and America still holding on to a 34 count felon as President.

In a time of fear, uncertainty, and hardship, workers are realizing they are better off in a union. Workers are exerting control over their jobs and their lives through unionization. This is especially clear in the federal government, where unionization surged despite unprecedented attacks. 4/

But why did unionization increase by almost half a million in 2025, when we have arguably the most aggressive union buster in history as president? I’ll tell you why… 3/

New #Union numbers were released this morning by BLS, showing that in 2025, 16.5 million workers in the United States were represented by a union, an increase of 463,000 from 2024 and the highest number of unionized workers in the U.S. in 16 years. 1/

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

The charge recommendation to this O'Brien executive board ally comes as O'Brien is overseeing UPS run amok after the 2023 strike threat and touted historic contract. UPS plans to cut an additional 30k jobs after cutting 48k last year www.theguardian.com/business/202...

One of Teamsters President Sean O'Brien's allies who was running on his re-election slate, Chris Griswold, retired in November ahead of these charge recommendations for misusing union funds on himself and trying to cover it up unionly.io/o/teamstersu...

Please stop writing for the love of God

this feels like a Roger Bannister four minute mile moment for "reactionary centrism". a level of reactionary centrism doctors (of political science) assured us was impossible but that training, dedication, ingenuity, and the Indomitable human spirit were determined to overcome

Trump's immigration policies, from cancelling Temporary Protected Status for numerous countries, to ICE raids, are straining an already strained childcare industry www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

WSJ just making up correlations to hate poor people

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Trump looks like he's about to fall asleep standing behind Zeldin

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the meritocracy they want you to believe Black people are violating A C student coke fiend with no medical expertise runs our nation’s healthcare system.

There has been no accountability for this 'improper' behavior. ICE agents are assaulting members of the public across, pepper spraying them in the face, threatening them, and not one ICE agent has faced any reprimand or accountability. These words from ICE officials mean nothing

About "agitators" -- 1. Homan can't even capitulate without threatening more illegal, military-ish force against people exercising their 1A rights. 2. I doubt it's unintentional that they continue to use a loaded term inextricably linked with segregationists and bigots.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

“While we are thrilled that this wave of attacks is seemingly being significantly scaled back, we must acknowledge the deep harm and trauma these last few months have brought to our state." Full statement at aflcio.mn/466iRkZ #iceoutmn

Elon Musk’s longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

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.

Shot, and one-hell-of-a-chaser.

Inbox: Union workers with ProPublica, Texas Tribune, and the Austin American-Statesman picketing downtown today:

Do you have a passport? Over half of Americans don't. Do you have a birth certificate and photo ID with the same last name? Nearly 70 million married women don't. If you answered no to both, you would not be able to vote under the SAVE Act. This is voter suppression, not protection.
