Ohio AFL-CIO

@ohioaflcio.bsky.social
Thank you organizing the Cleveland Vigil to Honor AFGE Union Brother Alex Pretti.
It was a great turnout. We cannot be silent.

Despite the cold and snow, hundreds of community members from around #cincinnati showed up to honor our AFGE @aflcio.org #union Brother Alex Pretti. Together, we will rise.

Unlike her opponent, Dr. #AmyActon will not only say she supports unions, she shows up in the snow and cold to stand with striking @steelworkers.bsky.social and @machinistsunion.bsky.social #Union members in #toledo

Since February 8, #Columbus #Ohio has been holding the longest continuous weekly protest in the country. Thanks to those who continue to show up every week in front of the #Tesla at Easton. We will see you next Saturday from 4:30-5:30

Thank you for showing up, #Columbus #Ohio for #NoKings

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you Inside the hidden world of First Wap, whose untraceable tech has targeted politicians, journalists, celebrities, and activists around the globe.

Erik Prince, Blackwater founder
Jared Leto, actor
Sophia, simply getting a driving lesson

These are just some of the thousands of people in 100 countries we discovered were targeted by phone-tracking tech sold by a secretive firm called First Wap.

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking A codified 4-day work week. We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work. Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers. We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Thanks to the @aflcio.org #union members who came out to Representative Mike Turner’s office to stand with our @nationalnurses.bsky.social members who work at the #Dayton VA. We need a fully staffed and funded VA, our veterans earned it.

#laborday isn’t just a long weekend, it’s about remembering and honoring the struggle of those that fought and died to give workers a voice in an economic system that would otherwise run us over. Thank you to those holding the line today and we honor those that held the line before us

Medicare Will Require Prior Approval for Certain Procedures

Medicare will start requiring prior approval for certain procedures — and will hire private AI companies to determine if patients are covered.

The AI companies would have financial incentives to deny claims, because Medicare plans to pay them some of the savings from rejections.

The Trumpification of AI: What could go wrong? Trump lets Big Tech run wild—as long as its chatbots accept his lies.

Could Trump, a fellow who’s ignorant about so much, be trusted to make the correct and difficult decisions on AI?

It was a conversation the American public didn’t have.

Now that he's in that position, he's letting Big Tech run wild—as long as its chatbots accept his lies.

“It’s a stunning message for Starbucks management to send to their workers…. It says a lot about who they really value at that company and who they don’t” @sarahanderson.bsky.social

Have you looked at his voting record? Seems to have voted in on primary ... the Republican primary in 2012 🤔

How One Big Private-Equity Fund Makes Its Numbers Incomprehensible Tricks of the trade gain new importance as 401(k) accounts open up to alternative investments.

Private equity chooses to bury & mismatch key data, making it harder for investment professionals to see what assets are really worth. If experts can’t decipher reports, how can everyday workers judge whether to risk their 401(k) and retirement savings?

It's a scam in Texas, and it's a scam in #Ohio

Meiselas: A MAGA anti-vax extremist opened fire on the CDC, killing a heroic Black officer. 500 shots fired. Do we hear Trump or JD Vance saying anything?

Cohen: Not even thoughts and prayers.

The king doesn't want an educated workforce that protects the community, he just wans minions that will do whatever he says

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
