President Trump wants working people focused on years-old conspiracy theories instead of what's happening right now. Everything is too expensive, working people are struggling, and his administration's policies are only making it worse. https://bit.ly/4wNAFMn

Tonight, President Trump pushed years-old, thoroughly debunked, alarmingly dangerous conspiracy theories in an effort to undermine our elections. The purpose is clear: divide, scare and intimidate working people to weaken our democracy. https://bit.ly/4wNAFMn

If you are new to World Cup Soccer I need you to understand that those of us who live and die for this tournament do so despite FIFA and nobody except FIFA and the people FIFA bribes likes FIFA.

The way Barack Obama lives rent free in his deranged mind is so wild.

One year ago today, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” was signed into law. After dealing with the effects of this bill, it looks pretty ugly to working people everywhere.

sometimes i am struck by the sheer wickedness of this man

Stephen Miller was reportedly the driving force behind the DOJ's recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care

Messi, asked which of his World Cup goals was his favorite: “I don’t know. I don’t remember. I’m tired.”

Two college freshman asked me what Bluesky was today... in case you're wondering how this site is doing with the young people.

Thank you to @sagaftra.org President Sean Astin for reminding us what's at stake. Unions change lives. America's unions are organizing to make sure every worker who wants a union can experience the union difference.

We just welcomed trade unionists from around the world to the @aflcio.org Global Labor Symposium. All workers face shared challenges across borders. Our international solidarity matters now more than ever.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire president does.

Just laughing at how it’s possible for a black woman to be so beautiful and talented that she sends a racist into a six day public stroke

Every time I open this app it's "The world is literally radioactive now!" followed by "Zohran Mamdani has struck a deal with sunshine and rainbows and now NYC will have permanently sunny days with rainbows."

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3mo ago

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

State statutes permitting early voting are dependent on the specific definition of "election." Four Virginia Supreme Court justices absolutely decided to engage in partisan hackery in a way I've never seen before in the Commonwealth.

Carolyn Fiddler@cfidd.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Four VA Supreme Court justices decided to ignore the definition of election in constitution & code. Article IV, Sec. 3: “the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November.” § 24.2-101: "'General election' means an election held in the Commonwealth on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November"

Voting in an overwhelming wave this fall is vital, but it's also important to understand that Republicans are no longer wedded to electoral outcomes or committed to liberal democracy. They have already begun using force to exercise power and alter democratic behavior. It's going to intensify. 🧵

Good morning ☕️

Watching David Attenborough get highly deserved praised for his century is reminding me: There is no crisis of masculinity, as such. We have plenty of positive male role models in our society. They just aren’t being pushed into young men’s feeds by nihilistic ad networks and social platforms.

Just like last time, this EO is unconstitutional. The federal government does not run our elections. The President does not get to decide who can vote, or how. We'll see him (back) in court.

Campaign Legal Center@campaignlegal.org · 4mo ago

Just a reminder that the last time President Trump issued an anti-voter executive order, we sued and got it blocked. Quickly. The Constitution is clear: The president does NOT have the authority to change how our elections are run. That power lies within the states and Congress.

Companies are rushing AI into the workplace with little oversight and serious consequences for workers. People are being monitored, evaluated and disciplined by systems that can be biased, inaccurate and opaque. Workers deserve a real voice and real protections. Learn more:

Having younger colleagues means sometimes reintroducing them to the ancient texts, like the very real and deeply weird (romantic?) fixation Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi had on Condoleezza Rice.

BREAKING: Nearly 1,000 faculty members at NYU are on strike. The union for non-tenured faculty, @CfuUaw, was optimistic about reaching an agreement this morning. But after giving the university a 3 hour extension, the two sides could not agree, and the strike is now on.

It's exhausting having an edgelord as president.

One of the most eye opening moments of my early career was working at a major polling firm during the Mueller Russia investigation and seeing the cold hard math that most Americans truly did not care. I don’t think I ever really came back from that.

My toxic trait is thinking I can tell if a movie is good by the first five minutes and unfortunately always being right.

I think about how Skype fumbled the pandemic at least once a week.

Nothing humbles a person faster than filling out a March Madness bracket and immediately watching the universe disagree.

If canceled flights and gas prices make you angrier than a president joking through a war and bragging about bombing another country, the problem is not your wallet.

When USLPA players stand still, the labor movement stands with them. A cut to the crowd can’t hide what’s really happening on the field: players deserve fair pay, safe conditions, and a real voice on the job. #StandUpForStandards

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

People do not recognize this but sports are the strongest evidence for the power of labor bargaining. Why do rookies get multi million signing bonuses at the NFL? It’s not cause the owners wanted to give them

Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. It’s time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards
