The Trump Admin’s repeated attacks on offshore wind hurt workers & our local economy. Grateful Patrick Crowley from @riaflcio.bsky.social could join us today to discuss tremendous work union workers are doing to lower energy costs & power our nation forward.

I’m a no on the DHS bill. Congress must step up to protect the rights of all Americans, enact needed safeguards, and ensure accountability. ICE is supposed to enforce the law and protect the public, not abuse your rights and trample on the people they serve.

The executive board of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO unanimously adopted this resolution about the ongoing ICE actions in Minneapolis. We stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and our union siblings in the @mnaflcio.org .

There's something happening here...

"Benoit instead suggested that RIPTA’s board support a tax on Rhode Island’s highest earners to fill the agency’s remaining budget gap. It’s a move that he admitted he wouldn’t have supported in the past."

β€œFor construction workers, project certainty means paychecks, health care, and the ability to provide for their families. The real-world consequences of this stop work order are lost jobs, missed mortgage payments, and broken promises.”

Headline: Labor unions rise up against Trump's immigrations plans after L.A. raids.

Across the country, America’s unions peacefully stood in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social President David Huerta & showed that if you come for one of us, you come for all of us.

The labor movement will keep mobilizing until all our union siblings are home. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

It’s time to build again, America.

More homes = lower rent
More clean energyΒ  = cheaper rates
New roads & bridges = stronger economy

We just launched the bipartisan Build America Caucus to bring that no-brainer message to Congress. Let’s get to work. πŸ—οΈ
