Absolutely insane for a politiciand to hold the view in big 2025 that firing someone for being gay isn't discrimination. Even the Supreme Court disagrees!

If you look like this after a day of work, you need to join a union and bargain collectively for some PPE expeditiously.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

This "Tilly Norwood" situation is really really disgusting and frankly a perversion. The wealthy will stop at nothing to ruin the lives of working people. They want nothing more than to replace people with controllable robots.

You don't hate the rich nearly enough.

These are for unions with fiscal years ending between March and June of 2025 (docs filed between June and Sep). Additionally, the AFL-CIO gained 1,372,429 members. I didn't include this above as this is mostly the result of SEIU officially re-affiliating and gains from Working America.
