Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

The biggest hurdle unions face is obtaining the first collective bargaining agreement, otherwise known as a union contract. For example, it took 3 years of bargaining before union employees at Blizzard Entertainment were able to finalize a contract. www.engadget.com/big-tech/bli...

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

"The strong must protect those cannot protect themselves, especially vulnerable children" is an infuriating level of hypocrisy given the amount of children that have died because of cuts to USAID.

Fake news. This is actually the Convergence, which occurs every 5000 years when the nine realms come into alignment. Do your own research.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the The portion of the US economic output received by workers through salary and wages has decreased to 53.8%, the lowest since 1947. This is in sharp contrast to the record profits Fortune 500 companies reported. www.bls.gov/news.release...

Ewww. Phrasing!

Preach it, @atrupar.com

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."

You can't make this shit up.

When I saw this letter, I literally thought, “This is too stupid even for him.” I should have known better.

The internet should make "Hillary of Kamala" a thing. I'm not sure what that thing would be except awesome.

"'I can’t believe he would do that to us,' said Shirley Adams, the Republican mayor of the tiny farming town...She said she voted for Mr. Trump and still supported him, but felt stung by the veto." If Trump still has your support, then his actions are very believable www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/u...

10/10. No notes.

Add this to your new years resolution: No Contract, No Coffee! Pledge now to stop buying Starbucks in 2026 until the company stops union busting and settles a fair contract! www.nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge

"I watched a bootleg copy of a 60 Minutes segment" is a sentence I never expected to say with full honesty.

The X-idous continues...

Two days after the House of Representatives voted to restore collective bargaining rights to federal employees, Trump moves to illegally end collective bargaining for TSA workers. Trump may be the most anti-union president in American history.

@bynum.house.gov, why aren't you standing in solidarity with our union workers?

🌎 From Black Friday to Cyber Monday, workers and allies across 30+ countries unite to say: Enough is enough. It's time to #MakeAmazonPay. Join us in demanding fair wages, union rights, environmental responsibility, and tax justice! 📣

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Boo-ya!

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.” Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

Solidarity from @dropkickmurphys.com !! ✊🔥

I so wish that @katmabu.bsky.social was running in my district.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Elon Musk spent much of this year upending the lives of federal workers across the country. He’s already the richest man on earth - now he wants to be even richer? We have enough corporate billionaires. We don’t need trillionaires. https://wapo.st/47O88M4

In every workplace I have been a part of, there has been mostly insincere approaches to career advancement, leading to high employee turnover. onlabor.org/union-contra...

Two Circuit Courts have now ruled that employers found to have implemented unfair labor practices (ULPs) are not financially liable for costs that the employee have incurred directly from the ULPs. natlawreview.com/article/fift...

This is insane. The Trump Administration is trying to get in the way of businesses having compassion for their own customers. The cruelty IS THE POINT.

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social is being selectively prosecuted by Trump's DOJ: youtu.be/O5T-3UBXApg?...

This doesn't make sense. How does killing people in war equate to "forgive those who trespass against us"? A Department of War is, by definition, prescribed by The Lord's Prayer.

@katmabu.bsky.social has the best last name. Abughazaleh. I'm totally going to steal that for a character in one of my role-playing games.

Seriously

I will always support strikes and the right of a workforce to fight for better lives: actionnetwork.org/letters/an-o...

That's a sweet retirement deal: www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

All the while, the Trump Administration is closing the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.

@lowqualityfacts.bsky.social, Holy shit, Jane Goodall actually did body slam chimps. How else would you "wrangle an alpha male?"
