Spoke yesterday to my department (Global Labor and Work) here at the Cornell ILR School about my current book project, "'Where the wind blows in all directions': Logging Men and Families." Great audience with great comments!

I'm sad to hear this, too. Margaret was a great colleague and friend for many years. I will miss her acerbic sense of humor and sarcasm. We were lucky to have her at Cornell for these years.

But this is how we know the "new" numbers are correct--they were done by a Biden appointee, devoted to truth instead of to her boss.

30-06-1918 USA: Socialist and labor leader Eugene Debs is arrested under the Espionage Act for making an anti-war speech in Canton, Ohio

Not to mention all those Congressional hearings Hillary Clinton had to survive!

Clearly a member of an El Salvadoran gang

Looks great, Jason. Helpful doe your work, too, I imagine.

Two hands reach out from the top of the graphic holding a bunch of bright purple grapes. Juice from the grapes spills out into the words: Honor the hands that harvest your crops. The quote is attributed to Dolores Huerta in a purple rectangle below the font. The bottom half background is a brown-orange. The top half background is a mix of a sunrise and rainbow, with yellow in the center followed by arcs of color in yellow-orange, orange, red, pink, blue, green.

Honor the hands that harvest your crops, build your cars, deliver your packages, and care for your elders. Honor your coworkers and neighbors with the kind of dignity and solidarity that sends shivers through the wealthy, powerful few at the top!

America’s unions and working people across the country will not accept cuts to essential services like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security - just to give even more tax breaks to billionaires.

Trump tries to restore a grim era for American workers Make Black Lung Great Again.

"The same people in the administration promising the return of domestic manufacturing and coal mining are also dismantling measures to keep workers safe. They’re the same people who don’t believe in a minimum wage that could feed a family. They’re the same people who want to see unions crushed."

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

Enough. Impeach Trump & Vance NOW.

Just the ones on Canada??

Trump imposes tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands near Antarctica Australian prime minister surprised after remote external territories – including islands home to penguins – targeted by US president

One key takeaway from Trump's tariffs and taxes speech last night:
DJT does not understand the definitions of either "tariff" OR "taxes".
The King Penguins on Heard Island understand those definitions better.

Our friend showed up at the door on Saturday, with his new passport in hand and tears in his eyes. He had sent in his birth certificate and a copy of his driver's license, both of which describe him as male. The US Government, in its infinite wisdom, marked his sex as "F." #Transdayofvisibility.

LERA - an organization that includes labor, management, neutral, and academic members - deserves credit for speaking out about FMCS

#OnThisDay 114 years ago in 1911, one of the worst workplace disasters in history struck: the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. As the workday was coming to an end, a fire erupted, claiming the lives of 146 out of 500 workers in just 18 minutes. Many exits were locked, trapping them inside. 1/2

Too bad he wasn't on the group chat for that.

Guess he'll be going through many hearings about that.
(How many did Hillary Clinton have about her emails?)

This is the sort of thing that many Americans tend to forget. The U.S. has been a nation of immigrants ever since we started stealing land from those who already lived here.

GOP congresspeople told to stop having live meetings with their constituents. Sure. That's how you can best represent the people from your district. Much easier to do if you don't have to listen to what they think and want...

Good old Frances Perkins. She was in the cabinet in the 1930s and her words are still and always true.

Stop Erasing Trans and Queer History! The Stonewall Inn is where queer people fought back against police harassment in 1969, sparking the modern LGBTQ+ movement. At the forefront of the fight were trans activists like Marsha P. Johnson an...

Stonewall wouldn't be a thing if it wasn't for the bravery of trans resisters! This is a lovely, though small, recognition of that bravery.

Congrats to everyone who insisted they were better off four years ago -- you made it right back to the safety and security of "early COVID pandemic"

Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

The erasure of trans people from the NPS Stonewall webpage is a form of violence. Its like saying Northern men didn't fight in the Civil War. Stonewall wouldn't have happened w/o trans people. www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm

Another question for McMahon:

How will you advocate for adequate working conditions, pay and benefits for all educators #QuestionsForLinda

Just a few of the many #QuestionsForLinda that need to be asked.

Question for Linda McMahon in hearings today:

What measures will protect special education records from being used to identify and potentially discriminate against students with disabilities? #QuestionsForLinda

Just what they did to Ithaca's Collegetown Starbucks--the most profitable in our small town.

A sad day, but, I must admit, not unexpected. We already miss her!

Does this mean that their kids won't be automatic US citizens? And when DID the Trump family first receive birth-right citizenship, anyway?
