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 β€” β€œa 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.

Went on a little β€œbrain 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!

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 β€” who tries to advance a debunked Republican talking point about Trump cutting off SNAP.

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.

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.

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.

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....
