Today is yet another sad day for America.

Our political landscape filled with hate instead of love and humanity and it must change. It cannot go on like this, it is unsustainable. 1/3

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

A photographer, shielded by an umbrella, climbs on a ladder to take a photo of a group of 50 people assembled on the front steps of a white-columned building as a videographer captures the scene.

300,000+ Black women lose jobs since Trump’s return: ‘Impact will ripple throughout the economy’ Since President Trump returned to office, more than 300,000 Black women have lost their jobs, while unemployment for them has shot up from 5.4% to 6.7%. “This structural inequality among Black women w...

One of my @rad-institute.bsky.social fellows, Darrick Hamilton (who is a fantastic orator, btw) was part of a discussion on the strong impact of current administrative policies on black women - with an impact that even this high number cannot sufficiently convey.

300,000+ Black women lose jobs since Trump’s return: ‘Impact will ripple throughout the economy’ Since President Trump returned to office, more than 300,000 Black women have lost their jobs, while unemployment for them has shot up from 5.4% to 6.7%. “This structural inequality among Black women will eventually create a huge deterioration in the entire economy as they don't consume as much … [and] this contagion, I believe, will spill out throughout the entire economy,” says Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Wisconsin. New School Economics Professor Darrick Hamilton warns: “The adage ‘Black people are the first fired, last hired’ is indicative of what might come for the rest of us.”

@repgwenmoore.bsky.social says “Trump has taken a chainsaw to employment for Black people” as over 300k Black women have been eliminated from the workforce since Feb. @darrickhamilton.bsky.social says it’s part of Trump’s dismantling of public infrastructure “for the benefit of this administration.”

Today’s jobs report shows the Trump admin’s policies are slowing job creation, increasing unemployment and disproportionately harming Black workers. America’s unions will keep fighting for all workers to have the freedom, fairness and security they need. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Grateful for the platform, support and partnership!

The #BetterInAUnion bus tour will see you in New York tomorrow!

America’s unions are mobilizing to hold those who voted for the big, ugly bill accountable for cutting Medicaid, SNAP food assistance and our jobs. We’ll make sure ALL working people know how they voted.

Another must-see ASA 2025 Annual Meeting Plenary Session starts at noon. What Comes After the New Economy? features David Pedulla, Darrick Hamilton @darrickhamilton.bsky.social‬, Jessica Calarco @jessicacalarco.com‬, & Elizabeth Pearson. Live stream here: https://bit.ly/3TDl6Wl.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The labor movement is in full solidarity with this necessary quorum break!

Texas may be the beginning of this redistricting battle, but workers across this country will win the war. Sign the card: bit.ly/thankyoudems

All working people deserve free and fair elections. America’s unions stand in solidarity with Texas House Democrats as they fight to stop the Trump admin’s rigged, anti-democratic redistricting plan.

Job growth over the past three months has fallen to its lowest in more than a decade – and the unemployment rate for Black workers is especially ominous.
