Not sure about what to add to the search field, but there are several Firefox extensions that use the &udm=14 string to remove all the AI trash. Hopefully this helps explain it: udm14.com

what are we going to do about it, prove em right or prove em wrong?

unions endorsing almost any republican is handing a knife to your own mugger

endorsing greg abbott is putting your own head on the chopping block and telling the headsman he doesn't have to worry about sharpening the axe

Just saw a new "book" allegedly chronicling the history of goth and deathrock by one mister "Nick Razer." Heads up: it is AI slop, as are all his books, many of which are super sus.

His press quotes from @thequietus.com and NME are fake. Don't fall prey this this edgelord stupidity.

America’s unions are out in force today at the Young Worker March on Washington.

We’re fighting for a better and more secure future for every young worker in this country. When we fight, we win! ✊

Tilted perspective of a tiny plane flying over a dark range of mountains. The composition is heavier on the left with snow infiltrating on the right where the odd cubic shapes eventually give way to an expanse of white that stretches to the horizon. The plane is odd in that the engine is mounted behind the fixed wing.

An injury to one is an injury to all. That’s why we’re fighting back.

Our Texas labor movement stands united with immigrants, union members, and our families. ICE out of our communities, NOW!

Proud to be a part of this project with working people all over Texas. ICE has no place in Minneapolis, or Dallas, or LA, or Houston, or anywhere ✊🏾

Residents from the small North Texas City of Hutchins gathered in front of City Hall on Wednesday as city leaders conducted a closed-door meeting regarding a proposed ICE detention facility that could hold up to 9,500 migrants.

Easy for this to get lost amidst all the horrors, but it was a *long* time coming. The first UAW election at this plant was during the Obama administration. (And the UAW's history of trying to organize southern auto workers goes back many more decades.)

DOJ seeks to 'clean' Texas voter rolls using data provided by the state In December, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson turned over to the Trump administration personal data on the 18.6 million Texans registered to vote.

Patrick Svitek was one of the best in the biz when he was working in Texas. Laying off someone of his caliber is like trading Shohei in his prime. Actually unbelievable.

Texas state leaders target school walkouts as students rally for Houston teen detained by ICE | Houston Public Media Mauro Henriquez, an 18-year-old Houston ISD student and team captain for his school’s soccer team, has been detained by ICE since Dec. 16 and is set to be deported along with his father, according to the federal agency.

This is ridiculous. Texas students have every right to make their voice heard, and the governor, as usual, is only fanning the flames.

It's beyond shameful that management still hasn't negotiated a contract with the workers that make ProPublica what it is.

Texas is where “right-to-work” was born, but we’re eroding that concept with every union formed in a newsroom or on a shop floor.

Take action and send a letter to Hearst management to demand they respect Texas journalists and keep our news union: act.aflcio.org/letters/tell...

🚨 Los republicanos eliminaron la votación en todo el condado el día de la elección. Menos opciones. Más confusión.

🚨 Countywide voting is gone on Election Day in Dallas & Williamson counties.

The results are in and the working people have won. Proud to celebrate my friend and fellow veteran, Taylor, in this hard faught victory, grounded on the solidarity we share as veterans, as the fight for working Texans continues to move forward.

ps if u want a sense of why people seem so zealously to believe themselves to be pure, just, & right while carrying out acts of unimaginable cruelty, do i have a book for you

Fundraiser and vigil for Renee Good and Alex Pretti today at 6 PM at the Gulf Coast AFL-CIO hall!

When working people elect politicians who answer to corporate money, it’s not representation. It’s outsourcing your future to the people who profit from your loss. #workersoverbillionaires #Velezfortexas

Accountability is coming to Texas. Congratulations, State Senator-elect Taylor Rehmet!

HUGE TEXAS UNION WIN: @iamunion.bsky.social leader Taylor Rehmet was just elected to the Texas Senate! This win kicks off a wave of union candidates across the state.

While parties are trying to reconnect with the working class, we’re running union members up and down the ballot — and winning. ✊
