The Trump administration ordered 18 government agencies to terminate their collective bargaining agreements and cease union negotiations on Thursday. The move could strip hundreds of thousands of federal workers of their union protections.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago. The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-g...

The Rich: Tax or Eat?

I'm old enough to remember when we called this Bribery: the payment of money in exchange for an official government act

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

“Our union stands ready to support any actions initiated by our union siblings in the TSA, including a boycott on air travel and work stoppages of any kind.” -- 50,000-member UFCW Local 3000. Hope to see more of this around the labor movement.

BREAKING: the U.S. District Court in D.C. has found that Trump’s firing of former NLRB Chair Gwynne A. Wilcox’s firing was unlawful, and ruled that she must be immediately reinstated to serve out the rest of her term as a board member. She was appointed and confirmed to a 5-year term in 2023.

Today would be a good day to organize @organizeworkers.bsky.social

Get a union! @organizeworkers.bsky.social

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Screw this guy. Organize! @organizeworkers.bsky.social

A fun thing to do with this supposed Napoleon quote is to do a google search to see what forums it appeared on with this exact wording before 2022. I'm no computer whiz, so maybe I messed up, but the only hits I got were these two...for Stormfront, a neo-Nazi forum.

You deserve better. Organize your work place. Here are people who can help: @organizeworkers.bsky.social

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

True.

Dang. Missed opportunity.

Here’s what we did today

🎯

Brexit making the headlines.

Déjà vu all over again.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

is it woke to want to end cancer?

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

That about sums it up

FYI:

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics. What a tragically stupid country we are.

The start of week three:

If you’re in or around Washington D.C. tomorrow (February 5), come out to 200 Constitution Ave. NW at 3pm and tell Elon Musk to keep his grimy hands off the Department of Labor:

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS
