So excited to share this news!

One of the absolute best parts of my job is talking with educators who want a union at their school.

Welcome to the AFT NM family! ❤️

Utah lawmakers repeal controversial public union collective bargaining ban A repeal referendum driven by a wave of union signature gathering was set to be on the 2026 ballot, but lawmakers decided to just do away with the law for now.

More than 5,000 activists and 300,000 signatures helped push Utah lawmakers to repeal the state’s ban on public sector collective bargaining — “a pathway for collective bargaining in the future” and a big win for worker voice. @aftutah.bsky.social www.kuer.org/politics-gov...

Today marks 50 years of IDEA. Today we celebrate this landmark civil rights law and recommit ourselves to the work ahead. IDEA is both a milestone and a mandate; our collective responsibility is to fulfill its promise for the next generation.

Imagine you’re president of the most powerful nation and you use your political capital to… push for Rush Hour 4 instead of feeding kids/funding schools/improving the lives of veterans.

The Seattle sports universe is truly giving and taking today 🙃

Went on a little “brain break” walk during a meeting today and somehow stumbled onto a surprise duck pond. 10/10 would wander again.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Wow.

Democratic Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury absolutely destroys Jake Tapper — who tries to advance a debunked Republican talking point about Trump cutting off SNAP.

New hero just dropped. Deeply relate to the tired looking Gatorade bottle.

It has been hours. My cats have given up on watching. We’re all in agreement that the real hero here is the Dodgers organist though, right? #WorldSeries

the year is 2047. water is currency. emperor dwayne ‘the rock’ johnson is humankind’s last hope against the army of octopus that walked out of the seas three years ago. the dodgers and blue jays are starting the 17,432nd inning of game 3 of the 2025 world series.

I cannot live, laugh, love under these circumstances. #GoMariners #TridentsUp

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

No Kings. No rulers. New Mexico belongs to the people, not the powerful few. #NoKingsDay

Judge blocks Trump's layoffs during shutdown, calling them illegal The administration began laying off federal workers last Friday.

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from laying off federal workers during the government shutdown.

The judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking these mass firings, countering Russ Vought who is seeking to lay off 10,000 workers or more.

Just FIVE days until America takes to the streets to proclaim #NoKings!

Who’s going? ✋

It's on – Seattle Mariners stun Blue Jays 3-1 in ALCS Game 1 The Seattle Mariners are up 1-0 in the best-of-seven ALCS after a 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays led by a gutsy outing by Bryce Miller.

How about that?

The #Mariners come back from an initial deficit to beat the Blue Jays 3-1 in Toronto and take a 1-0 lead in the ALCS, led by a dominant pitching performance, a homer from Big Dumper and two more RBI singles by Jorge Polanco.

The Mariners are headed to their first ALCS since 2001 ‼️

This Mariners-Tigers battle is one of the best baseball games I’ve ever seen

Trump refuses to negotiate with Democrats in Congress. Instead, he’s willing to shut down the government to make deeper cuts to our healthcare & services we depend on. It’s time for Congress to put families first and stop the #TrumpShutdown. bsky.app/profile/aft....

So sorry if you followed me for NM politics or public education hot takes. This is a Seattle sports account now. You have been warned. Tridents up!

Good morning to the playoff bound Seattle Mariners and no one else. Except maybe the Etsy witch.

AFT New Mexico continues to stand in solidarity with our union siblings in Teamsters Local 492, who remain on strike for a fair contract.

Stop by the picket line at the Creamland Dairy Garage, 1911 2nd St NW and show your support, every honk, wave, and visit makes a difference!

Elections have consequences but make it positive.

I really appreciate you saying it this way, instead of the usual 'if New Mexico can do it, anyone can!'

Anyone in Albuquerque got an hour or two, teamsters 492 need bodies on the line

Over 6,000 Burqueños hit the streets today for our Workers Over Billionaires march to protest the anti-worker, anti-immigrant policies of Donald Trump and his billionaire backers.
