This week in Minnesota, our movement got stronger. Union membership is at its highest level in 16 years. And we're setting our sights even higher: organizing 2 million more workers over the next five years. Let's get to work.

absolutely stoked to cheer for the Lynx tonight!

Minneapolis is really cool

I just landed in Minneapolis for the @aflcio.org convention & as I walked thru the terminal to the train was struck by the fact that the federal government invaded & attempted to occupy this place as if it were some foreign beachhead. And they're still in power & can do it again, anywhere

good morning Philadelphia

Our statement on @seiu.org Local 668's historic union victory at Penn State. When we fight, we win.

“We congratulate Penn State faculty at University Park and across the commonwealth on their historic victory in their union election. University Park faculty are joining workers across the Centre Region in declaring that State College is, and will be, a union town.

Their victory signals a new reality: nonsupervisory staff at Centre County’s largest employers are overwhelmingly organized for the first time in our county’s history. In a few short years, Centre County union membership has skyrocketed and now sits at rates well above the state and national average.

When workers organize, working people win. We support Penn State faculty and all workers in their fight for respect, fair compensation, and a voice in workplace decisions. We call on the university to hear the faculty's message, abandon their stall tactics, and to work with faculty and graduate assistants to reach fair union contracts without delay.”

Congratulations to @seiulocal668.bsky.social on this HUGE victory! We are!

Philly is a union town!

You look beautiful Philadelphia!

Our rights weren’t given—they were fought for and won by workers who refused to accept dismal working conditions. Today, working people carry their strength in our fight for justice. #MayDay

This is an infuriating read

For weeks I’ve been working on a very strange story that sent me to Victoria, Canada and a little town in Georgia, to try and get to the bottom of a left-wing conspiracy theory about Donald Trump and a man who claims he was abused by the president and Jeffrey Epstein. www.ms.now/news/sascha-...

"Conceived in sin, born in iniquity, nurtured by tyranny, died of a chronic attack of punch"

to all who celebrate...

description from Huntington library:

"A lithograph printed on heavy paper. Satirical "death certificate" issued for the Southern Confederacy. Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner. Below in smaller print an epitaph that ends with: And this one line shall grace your grave-- / Your death gave freedom to the slave."
