April 12th, Portland City Hall
Calling for the release of Lelo, a union leader kidnapped by ICE. Rally begins at 2pm. Message to see how your union can get involved further

We cannot stand idly by as our fellow union leaders are attacked by the Trump regime. We stand shoulder to shoulder with union farm workers. One struggle, one fight. Join us and our coalition allies at Portland City Hall at 2PM on April 12th in calling for the release of Lelo

Earlier this week a farm worker union leader was kidnapped by ICE in Washington state, Alfredo 'Lelo' Juarez. Next weekend a coalition of Independent Unions in Portland will be hosting a rally at City Hall to bring attention to this attack on the labor movement.

Being a union organizer doesn't mean wearing a chimney sweep/Newsies hat, or a suit & tie. Much like working class we aren't a caricature or a monolith.

Getting into the habit of using this more, and giving really exciting updates on the independent labor movement in the Pacific Northwest :)

Open invitation to all independent labor unions, especially in the Pacific Northwest

When the right wing crashes as it did after Bush, will the left fall for a feckless brand of capitalism approved electoralism that will again squander (intentionally) a historic moment or will the Left organize to seize the moment by all means in every form of struggle?

the start of a new Reagan era of political right wing dominance. They have 1 year to 'succeed' before midterm primaries knee cap all the far right eccentric policy, and lay bare the economic libertarianism at the core of all right wing "populism".

celebrity culture will follow. But I do think this is a massive mistake for them, which is good. Trump is not a popular figure, he won a low turnout, under 50% mandate against an effete pro genocide party with no discernable ideology but big-tent geriatric corporate elitist interest. This is not-

I think we're about to see a really fascinating era culturally. Corporate America seems pretty convinced that liberal minded cultural dominance is at an end and feel liberated by casting off socially conscious pretenses. CEOs that marketed themselves as progressive are happy to move on. Additionally

On February 13th, independent unions representing nearly 2500 workers in the Pacific Northwest will meet to discuss coordination, mutual aid, new organizing moving forward in the Trump era. The baseline question: what would it look like to refound the CIO in 2025?

I'm excited for what 2025 can be

I just came back from a trip to LA last week and it's heartbreaking to see parts of my hometown on fire, this area is sooo prone to them. With reduction in fire services and absent a massive engineering plan, this is vicious and painful cycle

As a cis guy being she/her'd is always amusing bc in a sense it's good, shows thoughtfulness & inclusiveness. But it's personally awkward bc I'm absolutely terrible trans representation. I'm far from feminine in my mannerisms.

The Last Of Us 2. Story really broke my heart in a good way
