America is union made, and working people make our country strong. Happy 250th Independence Day from America’s unions!
Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊
Believe them! Great women speaking in truth!
I have 3 political people I believe in. @aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov @warren.senate.gov Guess what? They are all women! Kinda says a lot about the state of politics in this country. Believe the women!!
We will not go back!!
Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social at the CA state capitol: “We chanted ‘we will not go back’ — I burned a confederate flag outside the chamber to send a message we will not go back to the times in which our folks were met with Billy clubs & the blast of the fire hose…” 🇺🇸

Look at these sweeties! Ya, we are the animals.
Different species and one snack sized to the other. We’re the animals.
On the brink of fire season, President Trump is uprooting the Forest Service and kneecapping its workforce. Here in Minnesota, a world-renowned facility known for its research on forestry and climate change will soon be shut. This is a massive mistake.

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹
I beg “No Kings” Americans to discuss a general strike. Break your economy. You can’t be serious about ending this regime while you keep spending disposable income and propping up the economy as a consumer. You wanna break it? Stop buying new things. Repair things. Buy used. Don’t eat at chains.
We are proud to endorse @keithellison.bsky.social for Attorney General. AG Ellison fights for working people every day. Whether it's fighting for workers by taking on #WageTheft or standing up for Minnesotans in court against Donald Trump, we can count on Keith to have our backs. #Labor2026
#MorningVibe Tell me that you felt differently than this while watching the pedo protector testify.
Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project
Watch out: the guy who bombed Iran, kidnapped a foreign leader, and is currently invading a city in his own country is going to stop being so peaceful
January 23 we support Minnesota nationwide and each other generalstrikeus.com

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...
