And shame on anyone who dares to turn their back on the very teachers who helped raise, guide, and believe in you.
Teachers arenโ€™t the enemy. Theyโ€™re the backbone. And they deserve our respect, not our blame. @neatoday.bsky.social @aftunion.bsky.social

banned books, and targeted and discriminated against students for simply being who they are.
Shame on the school boards selling out our schools. Shame on the politicians using classrooms for culture wars.

Letโ€™s get one thing straight:
teachers are not the problem.
If youโ€™re blaming them for the failures in education, youโ€™ve fallen for the lies. The real culprits? The ones whoโ€™ve weaponized the public against educators, pushed privatization agendas,

Press conferences and speeches arenโ€™t enoughโ€”we need bold, unapologetic action. History belongs to those who refuse to comply with injustice, and if Democrats want to win, they need to start acting like it. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

Imagine the power of every Democrat walking out in protest, forcing a confrontation that the public couldnโ€™t ignore.

This is no longer about decorum or waiting for the next election. Itโ€™s about fighting back in real time, disrupting the spaces where decisions are made.

A lesson for Democrats on solidarity. Democrats need to step up and embrace real solidarity and direct action. When one of their own stands against cuts to crucial programs like Medicaid, the response shouldnโ€™t be silence or symbolic gesturesโ€”it should be collective defiance.

If your staff isnโ€™t presentโ€”on campus, in the workplace, in the communityโ€”then what are they doing? Members, hold your organizers accountable. Challenge them to show up, and help you build something real. Organizing isnโ€™t a desk job. Itโ€™s a fight, and fights arenโ€™t won from behind a screen.

Organizing isnโ€™t about emails, Zoom calls, or social media postsโ€”itโ€™s about real, face-to-face conversations. If we want to build real power, we need to be on the ground, meeting people where they are, and bringing them into the movement.

A scab doesnโ€™t just take a jobโ€”they take food off the tables of workers fighting for fair pay, they prolong exploitation, and they side with those who profit from oppression. Solidarity is strength; crossing the line is betrayal. @teamsters.bsky.social

Unions stand as the shield of the working class, pushing back against corporate greed, unfair wages, and exploitationโ€”because when workers unite, they win. @steelworkers.bsky.social @ufcw.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social @ufw.bsky.social @unitehere.org @afscme.bsky.social

This is a call to action. Stand with your coworkers. Stand for better wages. Stand for your rights. If you refuse to be part of the fight, donโ€™t expect to share in the victories. The time for sitting on the fence is overโ€”either you stand with us, or you stand alone.

By refusing to stand with us, you are weakening the very force that protects you. Employers count on division. They want you to stay quiet, to stay disconnected, to let others do the hard work. But when workers are divided, we all lose.

To those who have chosen not to join the union, understand this: Every right, every wage increase, every benefit you enjoy exists because union members fought for it. While you sit on the sidelines, we are the ones battling for better conditions, fair treatment, and job security.

Forget Presidentsโ€™ Dayโ€”Make It a Day of Action!

Instead of celebrating a holiday that often glorifies leaders who upheld racist, sexist, and anti-immigrant policies, letโ€™s turn Presidentsโ€™ Day into a day of action. The current administration continues to attack marginalized communities

We shut it down. We refuse to comply. We organize at work, in our neighborhoods, everywhere power tries to crush us. No boss, no politician, no billionaire will do it for us. We fight for us.

No fear. No compromise. Just power.

Now is the time to unionize, mobilize, and take action for those who need it mostโ€”the immigrant under attack. When the state comes knocking, when the raids happen, when the laws tightenโ€”we do not look away. We stand. We shield. We fight.

No Fearโ€”Only Power. Organize, Unionize, Defend.

No president will save us, and no president deserves our fear. Our power is in our hands, in our workplaces, in the streets, in our solidarity.
