Deliveristas need protection against rampant unfair firing by the delivery apps. Kudos to @justinbrannan.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social & @galebrewernyc.bsky.social for fighting to make that happen

Dan Goldman thinks that over 150 years of inherited generational wealth is being a “beneficiary of the American Dream” … and that’s a reason to vote FOR him. 😵😵😵

Also, it's a real coward's move not to link to the post, which proceeds to explain *why* and *in what way* it represents a cautionary tale! Here's the post, so you can judge: lpeproject.org/blog/why-we-...

This is bad enough coming from MAGA legislators. But in deep-blue DC, @murielbowser.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social are shockingly doing the same thing: rolling back badly needed voter-approved wage increases for tipped workers and slashing paid family leave

Still basking in the glow of Zohran's primary win? Me too! But please also take 1 minute to defend the closed primary system that helped make Z's win possible. Eric Adams' commission is trying to open primaries so that Republicans can vote in Dem primaries. Tell them NO. bit.ly/NoOpenPrimariesNYC 🧵

Why the hell are @murielbowser.bsky.social and @chmnmendelson.bsky.social blocking a badly needed wage increase for tipped workers? They're bought and paid for by the DC restaurant lobby and are a national embarrassment. www.nelp.org/mayor-bowser...

So proud of @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and the voters of the 39th district for showing that caring for your neighbors and real results are more powerful than big money and hate

As we celebrate the Zohran earthquake, deep thanks to @bradlander.bsky.social for his heroic and selfless movement leadership and solidarity

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social powerfully explains why all NY'ers should rank @bradlander.bsky.social #1 -- and why we can't afford to return Andrew Cuomo to power www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

My choice to protect our neighbors from ICE and Trump: ✅Showed up today to support (and last week, and the one before that ). ✅ has passed and introduced legislation to stop ICE ✅ chaired the Immigration committee That’s @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

Updated door signs for NYC primary next week!! @jfrejnyc.bsky.social

Just got yet another super-PAC mailer backing @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social This time it’s from “Moving New York Families Forward” — a pro-charter school super-PAC funded by Mike Bloomberg. Does Maya Kornberg want to privatize our public schools?

How NYC's next mayor can raise the minimum wage without waiting for Albany -- my latest with Columbia Law's Dennis Fan

Opened my mailbox to a 2nd Uber mailer and an MSG mailer alongside one small one from the actual Maya campaign. I’m PROUD my rep @shahanafrombk.bsky.social stands up for workers and communities so much and legislates so effectively they want to unseat her.

The fact that so much outside money is flooding into this local race is all the more galling when you consider that Hanif's opponent, worked at the Brennan Center for Justice on "money in politics."

Because @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is standing up for workers and fighting for things like paid sick leave, Uber is backing her opponent with over $129,000 in mail and digital ad spending. If you live in District 39 in Brooklyn, please vote for Shahana Hanif. Let's keep big money out of politics.

Fun day at the Grand Army farmer’s market talking to voters about @shahanafrombk.bsky.social — they get that if Uber is spending big for her opponent she must be fighting the good fight @jfrejnyc.bsky.social

@dartmouthcollege.bsky.social president @sianbeilock.bsky.social insists to alums that she's fighting Trump's attacks on higher ed - yet hires a Stephen Miller ally as general counsel

NYC council member @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and @jfrejnyc.bsky.social member @paulsonn.bsky.social talk about Uber's terrible track record and the fact that spending thousands to support Hanif's primary challenger. Nikon FM2n, Nikon Nikkor 105mm f2.5, Ilford 3200. #BelieveInFilm

Among the folks supporting Hanif and speaking out against Uber at this event were Uber workers, DRUM Beats, Bluesky's own @paulsonn.bsky.social, and Brooklyn Young Democrats. The woman in the photo above with Hanif is from DRUM Beats - check out their website here! www.drumbeatsnyc.org/who-we-are

Let's get clear! @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is endorsed by: EVERY union who has made an endorsement (and the CLC). EVERY environmental, LGBTQ, women's, and progressive / resistance group who has made an endorsement. And dozens of electeds & leaders spanning the diversity of our district & city.

Uber PAC is sending mailers claiming “progressive values” 🤣🤣🤣 @shahanafrombk.bsky.social fights for drivers and delivery workers… so Uber is just one of MANY corporations, Trumpers and billionaires trying to unseat her. That’s why Shahana is THE progressive champion I’m working to reelect.

Just got this mailer from anti-worker Uber's super PAC -- the latest corporate interest backing @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social Proud to be supporting the true progressive choice @shahanafrombk.bsky.social!

@daveyseligman.bsky.social -- one of the nation's fiercest and most innovative legal fighters for workers and consumers -- just launched his campaign for CO Atty Gen'l. David would be a superb AG. Please consider supporting him TODAY - contribution link below.

Great afternoon canvassing to re-elect @shahanafrombk.bsky.social in NYC's 39th council district #jewsforshahana

@bradlander.bsky.social releases ambitious platform for improving jobs, helping more NYers join unions & protecting all of us from Trump's attacks -- exactly the leadership NYC needs right now www.thenation.com/article/poli...

We heard there's a new mayoral candidate on the block. Jews For Racial & Economic Justice aka the Anti-Cuomo Social Club have something to say about it. #HellNoCuomo #JewsSayNo2Cuomo

Proud to be part of Jews for @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and to be supporting the reelection of our compassionate and effective NY City Council member

Excellent op-ed by Steve Choi urging Gov Hochul to remove the corrupt and conflicted Eric Adams

As the federal policy environment becomes hostile to #WorkersRights, states will need to step up to the plate to lock in wins on #overtime, #HeatProtections, & more. @paulsonn.bsky.social & @terrigerstein.bsky.social offer some jumping-off points @newsweek.com: www.newsweek.com/trump-20-wil...

Under Trump 2.0, states must act to protect workers (& so much more). I wrote in @newsweek.com w/ @paulsonn.bsky.social about how states can start: Building on smart Biden admin #WorkersRights policies like banning #NonCompetes & expanding overtime /1 www.newsweek.com/trump-20-wil...

As the federal government recedes from protecting working people, state leaders will need to be bold and creative in filling the void. My new piece with @terrigerstein.bsky.social in @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/trump-20-wil...

Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su’s fierce advocacy for workers has been such a bright spot, and losing her is a real blow for labor. For @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social, I spoke with her about unfinished business and what still gives her hope for the battles ahead: inthesetimes.com/article/kim-...

Shame on MI Senate Democrats for trying to weaken #minimumwages for tipped workers & #paidleaveforall. @govgretchenwhitmer.bsky.social must veto this travesty. michiganadvance.com/2025/01/08/m...

To make NYC more affordable, workers need a $20.76 minimum wage like Seattle -- $5 higher than NYC's meager minimum @nelp.org www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/n...

There's a lot of uncertainty about what happens to federal labor protections in the next few years. But states have the power to protect workers -- including those who are working in extreme heat. @tanyalea.bsky.social and I explain an important proposal in NJ here: www.nj.com/opinion/2024...

This sort of democratic backsliding, where Republicans seek to overturn the effect of an election by reallocating powers away from positions they have lost, has become almost routine now. But it should remain shocking.

Great thread by @aaronsojourner.org on why we need more union members running for office. Think Dan Osborn and Maria Elena Durazo.

States and cities have an important role in protecting workers, especially with federal uncertainty. @cljeharvard.bsky.social is excited to partner with a great team on this short issue brief for state and local advocates.

NEW: States can preserve recent federal wins on workers' rights, no matter what happens in court/under Trump. A briefing issued today, by an array of experts, outlines 6 policies states can adopt on #overtime #HeatProtections #NonCompetes #Organizing & more. (1/x) www.nelp.org/insights-res...

Working families are in an exceptionally precarious moment. It’s critical that states step up to solidify basic protections against harsh non-competes, excessive heat, union busting and more. Read and share our report! www.nelp.org/insights-res...
