The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Rise--Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad.

It’s National Women in Construction Week!

America’s unions celebrate the women working in the construction trades, their skills, their solidarity and the leadership they bring to the jobsite as they build a bright future for all women in their industry.

What a beautiful new crosswalk @councilorkanal.bsky.social. Thank you. Government in action

It's a start! Thanks to the over 200 Oregonians who took action last week to testify or write to the governor's data center advisory council last week to make your voices heard! Because of your actions, we were able to win this 1.5 yr moratorium on data center tax breaks. https://loom.ly/6GqJ-Ko

And yet — women are still underpaid, pushed out of leadership, & forced to fight for rights we already won.

Women workers have always driven progress. Now we’re defending it.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we don’t just honor women’s leadership. We protect it.

BREAKING: The Oregon House has passed HB 4027, which creates sustainable funding for the state Bureau of Labor & Industries to protect working Oregonians.

Tell the Oregon Senate to join the House and pass the bill as well. Oregon workers deserve a well funded and functioning labor bureau.

Members of the Oregon Education Association met Friday and Saturday for our PAC Convention and 75% of participants voted not to endorse a gubernatorial candidate. We are sending a message to our electeds and candidates: no longer will you be able to do the bare minimum and get our support.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

National Treasury Employees Union response:

“Regardless of whether the IRS continues to recognize NTEU as the exclusive representative of its bargaining unit employees, there is no dispute that the Federal Labor Relations Authority certified that status, and has taken no action to undo it."

"According to a city spokesperson, the rule will not be enforced retroactively, even though the policy went into effect on Jan. 1."

So, no penalty for teargassing thousands of us Jan 31...
