As the brutality of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown grows, so does the resistance of the US labour movement. ✊ #ICEOUTNOW https://uniglobalunion.org/news/u-s-unions-push-back-as-trump-escalates-attacks-on-immigrants-and-cities/#ICEOUTNOW

ICE has become such a band of violent extremists that even Rupert Murdoch's newspaper calls them out. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

In Minneapolis I saw a vision for an alternative American ethos, which is love and also the willingness to fight to protect that love. Niceness, not weakness. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/hate-has-t...

United Airlines made over $3.1 billion last year. Instead of reaching a fair deal with its flight attendants, United paid its CEO almost $34 million and provided over $162 million in stock buybacks to shareholders. United must respect its flight attendants and reach a deal NOW.

Soon NYC will have a new mayor. ID'd as democratic socialist and Muslim. Millennial. Mamdani is bold, pro-union, keen to make material gains for working New Yorkers. Focused on child care, transportation, and affordable housing. This is a 2026 we can get behind! #buildlaborpower

“We’re organizing as we speak,” said Shuler. “We can move actual people, in workplaces, in every city, in every state, across the country.”

In my upcoming book I argue that the labor movement cannot rely on the federal government, including the NLRB. We must build power from the ground up, ourselves. #buildlaborpower www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If government attacks workers, Portuguese unions shut things down. #buildlaborpower www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Wallace-Wells notes that most politics "take a pretty narrow view of the appropriate scope of state action". To achieve progress, we must be bold enough to reject these limits on what is possible, politically. #buildlaborpower. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/o...

We need an @bsky group to discuss collective bargaining strategies on AI. Working people are in the best position to figure out how AI can devalue or eliminate their jobs - or maybe even to enhance them. #buildlaborpower

Today in NYC #LaborHistory: Some 400 New York City photoengravers working for the city’s newspapers, supported by 20,000 other newspaper unionists, begin what is to become an 11-day strike, shutting down the papers - November 28, 1953

Big Dem victories, but not in Nassau County LI, where the Dems tried to run on the GOP agenda. Voters will always choose the real thing not the generic substitute. Nassau Dems need an agenda, not a mimic. Maybe not the DSA agenda in the suburbs, but one that moves people forward not backward.

Even the Cato Institute says right-wingers committed most political violence in the U.S. But Trump is shutting down even the most moderate progressive voices. Nothing but a power grab. www.wsj.com/us-news/poli...

The guy who accused Lisa Cook of filing bad mortgage applications is the guy in line to take her job at the Federal Reserve (His name is Bill Pulte; he's a stooge.) It's pulp fiction, my friends. Low-minded grift. MAGA's assault on unions, cities, courts - all bad. But corruption also stinks.

Bold strategy, powerful solidarity. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/w...

Trump says D.C. has been taken over by violent thugs, but he doesn't realize they have gone home to their districts to do fundraisers.

All working people deserve the freedom, fairness and security that comes from a union contract. That’s what America’s unions are fighting for every day. #BetterInAUnion

Former NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo testified in front of the @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov. "At the same time that corporations and billionaires are pushing for more tax cuts at the expense of working families, they're also trying to squelch worker action, worker power, worker voice."

My college activism was about anti-apartheid. Trump's twisted gambit to declare Afrikaners to be an oppressed minority is galling in itself, and made worse by contrast with his policies on oppressed people whose lives actually depend on getting out of their countries.

On a hike in Utah we met two British tourists who said they scrubbed their social media for 30 days before coming to the States. They even shut down friends who posted anything that might offend Sir MAGA. This is not what democracy looks like.

Today, AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social delivered the keynote at The Contrarian’s 100 Days Conference, calling out attacks on unions, immigrant workers, and public services —and making clear: the labor movement does not fall in line for autocrats. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Taking it to Tesla on Long Island. Good protest energy and a lot of honking cars (including some Teslas, no joke)

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump admin must facilitate the return of SMART Union Local 100 apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia. They need to quit wasting time and bring our union brother home NOW!
