Union rights help ensure the federal workforce can operate with integrity. Join the rally on January 14 in D.C. to encourage the Senate to pass the Protect America's Workforce Act (PAWA) and restore the union rights of over one million federal employees. actionnetwork.org/events/rally...

Amid relentless attacks from the Trump administration, federal workers spoke up & spoke out. In 2025, we appeared in major news outlets to share the truth about public services like SNAP, civil rights enforcement, healthcare access, emergency services & much more. #supportfederalworkers

Thousands of Starbucks workers are on strike for a living wage and better working conditions. Stand with them by boycotting Starbucks until it can strike a fair contract. sbworkersunited.org

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

CNN: In the last couple of weeks or so, she's become kind of an ally on some issues. What do you make of this?

Auchincloss: No, John, she hasn't.

It’s always been about the fleecing of the American people. They are saying all the quiet things out loud. They aren’t even ashamed. At least not yet.

It’s all suspect.

It was ALWAYS a larger issue than the shut down.

Our future leaders are speaking.

Listen

These people are the first victims of this administration. Hear their voices.

They are still our people.

UNIONIZED STARBUCKS WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE AS OF THIS MORNING @sbworkersunited.org

Don't cross the picket line

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Democrats have put forward a petition to force a House vote on a three-year extension of the health care savings millions of Americans rely on.

Many of my Republican colleagues have said they'd support a deal on health care once the government reopened.

Now's their chance.

No Contract, No Coffee | Starbucks Workers United Starbucks baristas brewing change. Join the movement for fair contracts, better wages, and worker protections.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what their baristas make.

Together, we can make greedy bosses listen to working people.

Baristas are ready to strike for the fair contract they deserve—and America’s unions stand in solidarity with them. https://bit.ly/4oATdMu

Despite MAGA’s best attempt to starve Americans, November #SNAPbenefits are coming in full.

With ACA open enrollment underway, some business owners worry about upcoming changes The Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplace is now open for enrollment, but some of the changes slated for next year have small business owners concerned.

Trump & the GOP’s failure to renew the Affordable Care Act tax credits won’t just make healthcare more expensive for families. It will devastate small business owners too. www.npr.org/2025/11/03/n...

Graphic with the text "Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. Put working people first."

The shutdown has gone on so long, we've run out of clever ways to say it, so we'll just say it: Federal workers have been locked out or working with no pay for over a month. The Trump admin and their allies in Congress must fund the government and fix the health care crisis NOW.

Solidarity! ☕️

See the Before and After of Trump's Lincoln Bathroom Renovation The renovation comes comes as Trump continues broader changes to the White House.

In the middle of a government shutdown and rising national hunger, Trump is bragging about luxury bathroom renovations at the White House.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

A visual representation of GOP and Democrat budgets.

Each cup = $50 billion, and each color represents something different. A way to see how the federal government is spending and who it benefits.

Now, which budget/policy benefits ALL Americans?

It's the ultimate cruelty to close the government and then cut food stamps when workers aren't being paid.

ICE is still getting paid.

Mad, yet?!
