AFL-CIO Director of Civil, Human and Women’s Rights Alex Rias on Human Rights Day: Workers’ rights are human rights—they’re fundamental freedoms owed to everyone. Those rights are under attack, but America’s unions will keep fighting back for a more just society for all.

Just because we're on national ULP strike doesn't mean we stop organizing. We've won 7 union elections in just the last few weeks! 150 baristas have joined the union while we're on ULP strike. Here are 2 of our newest stores in St. Paul & Portland. Give it up for worker power! 🔥

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

This morning, in the largest expansion yet, hundreds of new union baristas are walking off the job in 34 cities. That means there are now: 🗣️ 3,800 baristas ☕️ across 180 stores 📍 in over 130 cities on an open-ended ULP strike! We’re 👏 only 👏 getting 👏 stronger

Tenant union members say they’ve faced threats, surveillance and retaliation from their private equity landlord, which has retained a notorious “union avoidance” firm. @rebeccaburns.bsky.social & @thomasbirm.bsky.social report on old-school union-busting tactics being used against renters.

Congratulations to the UNITE HERE Local 23 members at the George Bush International Airport in Houston on ratifying their new contract, where they will see big wage increases that provide them and their families some much needed relief. #BetterInAUnion

Hundreds Rally for Boy, 6, Who Was Separated From His Father by ICE By Ed Shanahan and Stella Raine Chu 17 y.o. William McKernan said, “Kids shouldn’t be kidnapped. I used to go to [P.S] 166 and want to show up because I hate seeing this happen in my neighborhood, in my school and in my country.”

First, it was members of his Cabinet, then members of Bill Pulte's family and now the President himself. The breathtaking hypocrisy of this adminstration's weapon-of-choice shows the real basis for these investigations: political retribution. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

United Teachers of Richmond are on strike. FIRE THE SUPERINTENDENT!!! Solidarity with UTR. #WeAreCTA

99.3% of San Francisco educators just voted to authorize their first strike in 49 years. We’re willing to put everything on the line for the schools our students deserve. Read here: https://www.kqed.org/news/12066097/sfusd-teachers-overwhelmingly-vote-to-authorize-the-first-strike-in-49-years

Solidarity. Don’t buy Starbucks coffee anywhere. #NoContractNoCoffee

Why would the Trump administration, which is hell bent on punishing drug traffickers, pardon a kingpin like Juan Orlando Hernández? Short answer: To appease the tech bros of Silicon Valley.

Democratic governors across the country are accusing the Trump administration of, once again, playing politics with people’s hunger.

Cowards. Jim Jordan and my former Republican colleagues are cowards.

@Ilhanmn.bsky.social is way more American than Donald Trump is. Ilhan Omar exemplifies the best of America. Donald Trump exemplifies the worst of America. www.mediaite.com/politics/tru...

Donald Trump said strikes on targets within Venezuela could begin "very soon.” We take the President's words seriously, and literally. I'm working with Senators Kaine, Paul, and Schumer to prevent the Trump Administration from dragging us into a war that Americans don't want.

Blatant corruption on full display.

While unionized Starbucks workers are on strike for a fair contract, don’t cross the picket line! Show solidarity — like Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders. Listen to what they had to say.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Solidarity. Don’t buy Starbucks coffee anywhere. #NoContractNoCoffee

On Black Friday, Starbucks workers expanded their ULP strike to 85+ cities. Now, just 6 days later, the strike is growing AGAIN. Hundreds of baristas are joining the Red Cup Rebellion today, alongside thousands already striking in 105+ cities!

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, calling humans garbage should be a bridge to far. #Trump is racist and it’s dangerous. people.com/donald-trump...

“The report states that Hegseth should not have used Signal and that senior Defense Department officials need better training on protocols.” - Inspector General Obvious

In a little over a year we’re going to get this done. But we need to be pushing nonstop for it now:

Why the Department of Education is making a huge mistake.

This is the point. ICE is no longer a legitimate government agency. It doesn’t protect the public at all. The only thing ICE is doing is terrorizing communities, including legal immigrants and citizens. #AbolishICE

Haters say “do it the right way,” but we're being arrested at our green card appointments. “What risk did the community face from my client who... is the caregiver to his 17-year-old son, works, pays taxes, has no criminal history and was applying for a green card."

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Let's get this right. Hegseth wasn't blowing up boats. He was blowing up humans in boats which is murder

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

Yet again the *peace president* has us on the brink of a war (of distraction and greed)

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Impeach and remove. Indict and convict.

Cold blooded murder.

Is the reason they had to dig back to 2019 because Trump is golfing?

The rise of Trump and Trumpism has given a disturbing amount of leeway and legitimacy to antisemitism. #Trump www.startribune.com/maga-antisem...

#BoycottStarbucks this holiday season. This includes gift cards, in grocery stores and all locations regardless of the presence of a picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee #RedCupRebellion @sbworkersunited.org

Starbucks knows where we stand. We’ve been clear: more take-home pay, better hours, & resolution of 100s of ULPs. Bring us NEW proposals that address these issues so we can finalize a contract. Until then, we'll keep escalating. See you on the picket line! www.cnbc.com/2025/11/28/s...
