Labor Day isn’t just a three-day weekend, it’s a celebration of worker power and all that we can accomplish together when we stand together in solidarity. Let’s use our power and solidarity to take back our country for working people! Join us: www.mobilize.us/aflcio/

Walmart just received a $2.9 billion tariff refund, massively boosting the company's profits. Regular people paid the costs of tariffs by and large across America. But now corporations are getting huge checks from the government, while working people get nothing.

Disneyland hotel workers help make magic happen for millions of visitors every year. It’s time they got the fair pay they’ve earned and deserve. Solidarity with our @unitehere11.bsky.social union siblings!

NOW: workers demonstrate outside of Disneyland and the #D23 Disney fan event carrying signs reading "There's no magic in our paychecks" and "I can't eat fairy dust." Workers are calling on Disney to provide fair wages for the people who make the guest experience possible.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

Thou shalt not demand religious freedom for yourself while denying it to Muslims.

The fact any worker would even support this clown is just sad. A billionaire is never your friend, they rely on the exploitation of the working class for their riches! They are all thieves.

Our economy lost 23,000 jobs last month. Working people are fighting for scraps just to pay their bills, but President Trump gave himself an A+ on the economy. He’s completely out of touch with workers’ reality.

There are no Communists running for any offices. Third Way Democrats are the ones fueling the idea that there is when they continue to publicly warn against socialism and spend money to attack Progressives and DSA. They are the ones handing Fox News what they want.

This is actually outrageous. You can’t replace humans in very important jobs like these and expect it to go well. AI gotta go away!

AI is now answering 911 calls in New Orleans. The AI handles incoming calls and is supposed to analyze and prioritize the calls so that if multiple people phone in about the same incident, the chatbot will handle the repetitive calls about the same incident. /1

The Clarity Act would allow volatile cryptocurrency to access our pensions and retirement accounts. When big banks and billionaires gamble with our economy, working people feel the pain. Tell the Senate: stand with workers and vote NO on the Clarity Act. https://bit.ly/4xepQTU

An interesting discussion to be sure, but I’m deeply skeptical that “running for high profile office to draw attention to one’s organization” (in this case, DSA) is a substitute for actual nuts & bolts organizing: www.laborpolitics.com/p/whats-our-...

Despite how short of a story "A Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" is, it is one of my favorite short stories. When you add all the other media to it it gets better. Love how Ellison didn't like how popular the story was despite how little effort he put into it.

Today is the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War! May we remember the struggles and the lessons from the revolution. Viva la FAI y la CNT!

The economy is rigged for the rich and powerful. Working people are fighting for scraps just to make ends meet in this economy. And workers are sick and tired of extreme corporate greed.

The Trump admin and their allies in Congress let the ACA tax credits expire so they could give the rich another tax break. Now, health insurance costs skyrocketed, and working families were forced to drop their health insurance because it’s too expensive.

Of all the songs that Joe Hill ever wrote I think "We Will Sing One Song" is one of his best. The chorus is just beautiful. Go and give it a listen if you haven't.

It’s only a matter of time before the compatible left slanders Graham Platner’s accuser into the Sun to protect the cult of personality like they always do. They did it with the Nazi tattoo, the dirtbag left Reddit account, and the Blackwater contract. #BelieveAllWomen means believe ALL women.

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much. Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment. /1

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

MAGA wanted lower grocery prices, lower gas prices, the Epstein files to be fully redacted/fully released and no new war. They were given none of that. Yes, it’s a cult of idiots.
