Just a gentle reminder that everything we're thankful for is due to the grace and help of others and, for many of us, a heaping dose of unearned privilege. None of us has ever truly done anything on our own.

Who we are is often the result of the emotional labor of teachers, parents, and mentors.

Trump insulted another female reporter calling her “ugly”.
Yesterday, he called Gov. Pritzker a “fat slob” and one week ago, he yelled “ship up Piggy” to another female journalist.

Can someone bring him a mirror and a big dose of reality?

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

If you work in North or Northeast Portland, or alongside one of the many stretches of rail line where trains carrying liquid fuels and toxics travel through the city, you are at risk of spills, explosions, and toxic releases.

These risks are heightened by expected large seismic events.

So funny and clever too!
This protest, known as an "ICE scraper" action, was organized to protest ICE raids at Home Depot lots, and to pressure the company to "scrape ICE out" of its stores.

Ok. The ice scraper thing at Home Depot is fucking brilliant and hilarious.

This is the 2nd best and 2nd funniest most creative protest response.

Americans are paying 11% more for electricity than they were at the beginning on this year.

And these rising electricity prices means more people are unable to pay, so more people are getting their power shutoff.

Workers in all industries have more in common with each other than the executives making millions. Solidarity with everyone who is not crossing the line or buying Starbucks while we’re on a ULP strike! Special thanks to @Teamsters, for not crossing the picket line and standing with us✊

Companies like Starbucks (whose workers are actively striking), Amazon, Target & Home Depot weaken worker power. They bend to Trump’s harmful regime and shamelessly union bust.

Tonight’s call was a reminder to put our money where our values are. #WeAintBuyingIt
