A non-Christian president going to church is the political stunt, not the sermon.

It’s ridiculous to suggest that a man who filled his website with Holocaust deniers, agreed with an antisemitic conspiracy theory, & helped elect another man who hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & just pardoned a guy in a Camp Auschwitz T-shirt was doing a Nazi salute.

Where is the Christian outrage for the president attacking the core teachings of Jesus?

Today marks my 24th year as a professional union organizer. I hope to continue to help workers in the Deep South build power.

I’ve experienced organizing campaigns where everything went according to plan and the workers won their union. I’ve also faced campaigns where things went the wrong way and resulted in an election loss. Don’t judge yourself too harshly when you loseβ€” instead, learn and grow from the experience.

Opinion | Alabama’s future depends on building bridges, not burning them Pragmatism asks, β€œWhat works? What will improve people’s lives?” Populism demands, β€œWhat will fire up the base and keep me in office?”

β€œAlabama has too often leaned into the politics of defiance and division.”

it's unlikely most unions are ready to adopt ambitious organizing goals (especially under Trump), but we should still be pushing in that direction. hopefully UAW, SBWU, and others' example can keep up pressure/momentum on other unions to support new organizing

Who are the organizers that can make that a reality?

Unions Get Bigger in Texas Open hostility to unions has left the Lone Star State largely without worker power. Until now.

"The Texas labor movement has a fighting heart in large part because our state has failed working people so completely. It’s what organizers say at the beginning of every campaign: Nobody is coming to save you."
