Then they came for the Dreamers Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago spent nearly two months in ICE detention—despite having protection under DACA—until a federal judge ruled that the government had no reason to keep her in custody and ordered her release.

DHS is still vowing to "explore every available option to remove" her. My latest:

UAW Local 653 members rallied in Pontiac, MI, yesterday, calling on Challenge Manufacturing to come to the table and negotiate a fair contract. They were joined by UAW Region 1 Director LaShawn English and Assistant Director Ray Pecoraro.

I second @calleigh13.bsky.social motion! Let’s show up and show out Labor!
Amp up the pressure to get bad bosses attention like those at Challenge Mfg.

Remember our history. Murdered by the state for union organizing.

It's unacceptable that 3,000 grocery workers in Minnesota have been without a union contract for 3 months.

It's time for the CEOs of Cub Foods, Knowlan's & Haug's to end their outrageous corporate greed, negotiate in good faith with the UFCW & treat their workers with respect.

I love this Native woman’s spunk! However this should NEVER have happened.

That part. Why hide your identity if you are doing right?

Congratulations Legal Services workers in my neighborhood! I would love to meet you and hear about your organizing!

Organizers in the 1930’s were working class heroes! They risked their lives and limbs to take on brutal corporations.

Ford needs to follow suit and get out of the way for union recognition at the Blue Oval Complex.

🧵In response to this week’s Louisville Courier-Journal story “Chemicals, mold, bats, broken bones: Workers concerned over safety at BlueOval SK plant,” Chuck Browning, UAW Vice President and Director of the Ford Department, issued the following statement:

When Trump and DOGE take a chainsaw to the IRS, remember that this is who they're really helping. https://itep.org/what-corporations-have-to-gain-from-the-gutting-of-the-irs/

This regime is gutting vital services relied upon by millions...all to extend even more tax cuts (and subsidies) to the super-rich.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones.

They weren’t offered. They were negotiated through strikes and high union density. Non union employers had to keep up keep employees.

Tesla's quarterly profits are down 71% from a year ago.

As Elon complains about "government waste," Tesla would have reportedly posted a Q1 loss this year if not for EV credits established under Biden.

Hello?

When there’s a crisis- economic collapse, natural disasters, etc- the ultra wealthy sit like vultures ready to pick apart the carcass and further enrich themselves. This is a strategy to create a crisis for profit.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.

This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.

See what DOGE is really about?

RT if you derive joy from that

This is an emergency!

Americans need to understand that his plan is leaving us defenseless. Not just militarily but health and safety wise CDC,VA, NIH, FDA, FEMA, Medicare, Medicare, Social Security,as well as he is destroying unions to leave workers without protection too.

DOGE is cutting the jobs of federal employees who perform vital services, including those who had previously received glowing performance reviews. Meanwhile, "Signalgate" shows the level of incompetence you can get away with at the highest levels of Trump's regime. Hello?

“That’s probably our biggest sticking point, mandatory Saturdays,” UAW Local 291 President Ryan Compton said. “Cummins preaches work-life balance, and then they want more overtime out of people.”
