In our movement, brother and sister extend beyond our own union. Today, I learned that a fellow union brother from the building trades, a first-year @smartunionworks apprentice, was unjustly taken by ICE and deported to a prison in El Salvador.

Gutting union rights for federal workers is an attack on the people who protect our food, care for our veterans, and serve our communities.
Under this administration, no union contract is safe.

The Labor Movement warned the working class about this administrations plans for unions and collective bargaining. The Democratic Party didn’t do enough to energize the working class. The time is now to see if they will make workers rights the center of the party!!

Working people are fed up with a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make. That’s not the future that working people deserve, and we’re fighting for a better one.
America’s unions are standing up every day against corporate greed.

Make no mistake, this is an attack on letter carriers, on all 640,000 postal employees, on 8 million jobs attached to USPS. A $1.9 trillion attack on an industry central to our economy, on 51.5 million rural households & businesses, on over 300 million Americans who rely on USPS

Wait…. I thought they didn’t pay taxes 🤔
All just a plan to push more workers into the underground economy

The IRS, which usually played it straight w/confidentiality, will now apparently capitulate to Shitler & make working people's lives even more miserable. Hope this shyte goes to court. This is all the fucker is doing--mass deportations of anyone he pleases, pissing off our allies, and playing golf.

And maybe a good time to call for #Medicare4All
Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

"Mahmoud Khalil has moral courage of the type Eugene Debs spoke about more than a century ago in a speech that he was unjustly arrested for."
The Labor Movement Should Stand Up for Mahmoud Khalil
Unions have a moral imperative to defend against illegal attacks on political speech. That means demanding justice for Mahmoud Khalil.
