One more! I know it’s not a competition but my favorite sign of the day. #NoKings

No crowns. No thrones. No rulers above the people. In New Mexico, we believe in democracy, dignity, and the power of working people- not kings. #NoKings

We vote. We organize. We speak out. And we don’t hand power to any one person. #NoKings

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

So excited to share this news! One of the absolute best parts of my job is talking with educators who want a union at their school. Welcome to the AFT NM family! ❤️

More than 5,000 activists and 300,000 signatures helped push Utah lawmakers to repeal the state’s ban on public sector collective bargaining — “a pathway for collective bargaining in the future” and a big win for worker voice. @aftutah.bsky.social www.kuer.org/politics-gov...

Today marks 50 years of IDEA. Today we celebrate this landmark civil rights law and recommit ourselves to the work ahead. IDEA is both a milestone and a mandate; our collective responsibility is to fulfill its promise for the next generation.

Imagine you’re president of the most powerful nation and you use your political capital to… push for Rush Hour 4 instead of feeding kids/funding schools/improving the lives of veterans.

The Seattle sports universe is truly giving and taking today 🙃

Went on a little “brain break” walk during a meeting today and somehow stumbled onto a surprise duck pond. 10/10 would wander again.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

LET'S GOOO 💙💚 #Seahawks www.nytimes.com/athletic/677...

Wow. Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury absolutely destroys Jake Tapper — who tries to advance a debunked Republican talking point about Trump cutting off SNAP.

It has been hours. My cats have given up on watching. We’re all in agreement that the real hero here is the Dodgers organist though, right? #WorldSeries

the year is 2047. water is currency. emperor dwayne ‘the rock’ johnson is humankind’s last hope against the army of octopus that walked out of the seas three years ago. the dodgers and blue jays are starting the 17,432nd inning of game 3 of the 2025 world series.

I cannot live, laugh, love under these circumstances. #GoMariners #TridentsUp

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

No Kings. No rulers. New Mexico belongs to the people, not the powerful few. #NoKingsDay

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from laying off federal workers during the government shutdown. The judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking these mass firings, countering Russ Vought who is seeking to lay off 10,000 workers or more.

Just FIVE days until America takes to the streets to proclaim #NoKings! Who’s going? ✋ SIGN UP TODAY: seiu.com/nocrowns

How about that? The #Mariners come back from an initial deficit to beat the Blue Jays 3-1 in Toronto and take a 1-0 lead in the ALCS, led by a dominant pitching performance, a homer from Big Dumper and two more RBI singles by Jorge Polanco. sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

The Mariners are headed to their first ALCS since 2001 ‼️

This Mariners-Tigers battle is one of the best baseball games I’ve ever seen

Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats in Congress. Instead, he’s willing to shut down the government to make deeper cuts to our healthcare & services we depend on. It’s time for Congress to put families first and stop the #TrumpShutdown. bsky.app/profile/aft....

So sorry if you followed me for NM politics or public education hot takes. This is a Seattle sports account now. You have been warned. Tridents up!

Good morning to the playoff bound Seattle Mariners and no one else. Except maybe the Etsy witch.

AFT New Mexico continues to stand in solidarity with our union siblings in Teamsters Local 492, who remain on strike for a fair contract. Stop by the picket line at the Creamland Dairy Garage, 1911 2nd St NW and show your support, every honk, wave, and visit makes a difference!

Elections have consequences but make it positive.

Anyone in Albuquerque got an hour or two, teamsters 492 need bodies on the line

Over 6,000 Burqueños hit the streets today for our Workers Over Billionaires march to protest the anti-worker, anti-immigrant policies of Donald Trump and his billionaire backers. #WorkersOverBillionaires #laborday2025 #Albuquerque

📸 from Labor Day

It’s time to play my favorite game! Let’s see how many politicians will post about Labor Day without mentioning actual workers or unions 👀

In the words of T Swift "All that time you were throwing punches, I was building something". From bus drivers to administrative assistants and beyond, 55 incredible workers are now proudly joining the AFT NM Family ❤️

Working people in Albuquerque are joining forces to stop the billionaire takeover and demand an economy that works for ALL of us, not just the wealthy few. www.mobilize.us/aft/event/82... #WorkersDeserve #LaborDay #WorkersOverBillionaires

“Craphole city”

Aw dang it. The latest report from @epi.org shows that the US is falling behind on education funding. It’s time we fully funded our public schools so every child can thrive. Read more: www.epi.org/publication/...

Come work with me! I'm not like other bosses, I'm a ~cool~ boss.

This is such incredible work. These are programs that are preparing educators to shape the future of our classrooms. This investment in educators means stronger schools and brighter futures for all our kids. Thank you to @atfteachersunion.bsky.social for leading this transformative effort.

yet we can’t fund public schools

Thousands of machinists who build fighter jets and munitions at Boeing’s defense hub went on strike at midnight Monday for the first time since the mid-1990s.

The shooting in New Mexico is a tragedy. Gun violence is disrupting & destroying young people's lives. All students deserve a safe, welcoming place to live, learn and grow. Our prayers are with the victims' families and the Rio Rancho & UNM communities. www.abqjournal.com/news/article...

The #TEACH25 "Freedom to Teach: Leveraging Conflict, Partnerships and Contract Language to Empower Educators" workshop highlighted how educators can partner with school administrations to ensure autonomy in their contracts.

"I never bet against American educators, parents, and leaders who are committed to improving our schools and weathering whatever storm comes their way." — Former U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona

Marty Lujan’s death was tragic—and likely preventable. To learn essential lessons for worker protection, we spoke with three occupational medicine experts. Read the interview in the Summer 2025 #AmericanEducator: www.aft.org/ae/summer202...

I've found the perfect Instagram account. Seattle's Twice Sold Tales owner Jamie recommends books and shows her cats. That's it. IG twicesoldtales

Look, I know I’m a constant curmudgeon but even I have to admit the Balloon Fiesta is pure magic. Everyone should experience it at least once.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
