Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

We have an assclown as Secretary of defense

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement after the federal government’s funding expired at midnight and a shutdown began: The federal government is shutting down right now because President Trump and his administration chose chaos and pain over responsible governing. Now, countless jobs, the essential government services we all rely on and the economy powered by our workforce are in jeopardy—all because the administration wants to take one more swing at wrecking the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and throwing working people off our health care. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are being locked out and stand to lose the paychecks their families depend on. Federal contractors, including custodians and cafeteria workers, won’t have the assurance of back pay. It’s not Washington politicians who are at risk here—it’s working people just like us, more than 80% of whom live outside D.C. and 30% are veterans. These are the people who get our Social Security checks out on time, keep our food and water safe, care for our veterans, and protect us at airports and during natural disasters. Under the administration’s Project 2025/DOGE agenda, federal workers have been fired, rehired and fired again. They’ve been stripped of their collective bargaining rights and union contracts. Now, President Trump is shutting down the government, using federal workers as pawns and threatening to illegally fire them—all to avoid fixing the mounting health care cost crisis that will hurt millions of Americans. The labor movement’s message to the administration is clear: Get to work. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first.

The federal government is shutting down because the Trump admin chose chaos and taking a swing at the Affordable Care Act over responsible governing.

Our message is clear: fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put working people first. aflcio.org/press/releas...

Hollywood Unions Say Jimmy Kimmel Suspension “Chills Free Speech,” Threatens Artist Livelihoods WGA is also mounting a protest as the unions continue to hit back at ABC's decision.

Powerful corporations are enabling the Trump administration to muzzle workers’ free speech and threaten their jobs.

America’s unions stand for workers’ fundamental freedoms.

And should be again

I wish Putin the war criminal would have been arrested when he stepped foot in Alaska

Unfortunately I’m not surprised.

I’m proud to have the endorsement of the Buffalo Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO—a pillar of our city’s labor movement, representing tens of thousands of hardworking men and women. For decades, the CLC has fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignity on the job. (1/3)

IF YOU CRITICIZE HIM, TRUMP WANTS TO PROSECUTE YOU FOR “ABETTING TERRORISM.” With his presidency failing and polling cratering, Trump has only one play left: Sorka's plan for Thought Crime

This was a republican pick, right down party lines with the vice president, casting the deciding vote. People need to never forget this when it comes to the midterms. This is incompetence at its highest degree.

House Democrats denied entry into Department of Education building Several Democratic lawmakers were denied access to the Department of Education on Friday. The Trump administration has made it clear that it seeks to abolish the department.

Thanks to Politics Nation for having me on to discuss the harm caused by this admin’s fear of knowledge. Kids should have the opportunity to achieve what THEY want to—and a safe, supportive environment in which to learn and grow. www.msnbc.com/politicsnati...

I think it already is.

But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made.

We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

This is the incompetence America voted for. Linda McMahon is another unqualified Trump cabinet appointment. Her fake wrestling organization allowed a child molester to continue endangering and hurting children.

Completely unqualified for this job. Trump has just made our country less safe.

Did Trump just rescind the EO that worked to lower the cost of prescription drugs?

Celebrating an inspiring leader.
