Gamers: if you want to be able to afford a Switch 2, you might consider starting a union to fight for higher wages. We can help.

The fight that we are in is not left vs right, blue state vs red state. It's regular folk against the ultra wealthy.  Diversity isn't the reason families can't afford housing. Immigration isn't the reason you're paying more for your prescriptions. Billionaires are.

They're trying to make us blame one another.

Democrats need to act with the same urgency they email us for money.

They need to get corporate and dark money out of the primary process.

Fast food workers work hard.
Retail workers work hard.
Gig workers work hard.

Everyone deserves a living wage.

There are nearly 3 million immigrants in the construction industry, and they deserve the same rights as all other workers. Our union stands with our immigrant members and all working people in this country β€” an injury to one is an injury to all.

Every union should be echoing this statement.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

I'm just going to keep pointing out these small* moments of collective action until it starts to click with folks that if we stand together we have all of the power.

*this is actually a huge fricken deal, and it only took a couple clicks from a bunch of folks who collectively said No Fucking Nazis.

Ya'll I am DYING. Writing a client email for c-suite execs that explains how teaching employees how to budget and manage their money can help them be more successful.

You know what can also help workers succeed?

THIS.

"Boycotting" an election doesn't send the message that you're unhappy, because it doesn't lose them money like it would for a business. You're not the nation's customer.

Refusing to vote sends the message that you're fine with whatever result you get, that other people can decide for you.
