I keep thinking about a photograph I saw of city workers dismantling the pavement of BLM Plaza in DC right in front of the AFL-CIO building. The fact that that asphalt monument wasn't full of unionist trying to prevent its destruction says a lot about the current state of the US Labor movement

Today we rep purple as we proudly join MLB in supporting our LGBTQ+ youth and taking a stand against bullying. πŸ’œ

πŸ”¨βœŠ We had a huge turnout at our first Kansas City Movement Builders Bootcamp this weekend! We’re excited to see so many workers and allies from across Missouri hone their organizing chops to win real change on and off the job.

You all are so relentlessly insufferable. (not Kevin)

STOP GATEKEEPING PROTEST

THATS NOT HOW PROTEST WORKS

THE MORE PROTEST THE BETTER

THE MORE KINDS OF PROTEST THE BETTER

the same people screaming β€œdo something!” also screaming β€œnot like that!”

Y’all are shooting yourselves in the foot.

But it's not really enough for a person to support themselves without roommates or some other sort of assistance in New York City. Also we should try to avoid the trap of evaluating salaries by how shitty others are getting paid in our industries.

there’s nothing at all that a socialist mayor would ask of his police that falls outside the bounds of protect and serve, so what exactly is the reason here?

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

Life-changing decisions about worker hiring, firing and discipline must be made by humans, not AI. The California state legislature passed #SB7 to protect working people from soulless robo-bosses. We urge @governor.ca.gov to stand with workers and sign this landmark bill into law.
