Love is the hand you want to hold, the arms that feel like home, the person you trust to call on and show up when our world is crashing

And where a union isn't such a complicated thing to form

SEIU_ORG @seiu.org · 11h

Imagine living in a country where unions are strong, jobs pay well, and people actually have a voice. We can build that together. ✊

Quick PSA: working an 8-hour shift, Monday through Friday, should be enough to pay your bills and still let you live your life.

Which is another way this admin will cost the taxpayers. Each individual ICE agent involved should be personally sued and thus responsible financially for any damages.
