Trump keeps attacking Ilhan Omar but, she explains, “When he said I should go back to where I came from, I went home to Minneapolis and my neighbors showed up at the airport to welcome me.” Then they re-elected her with a mandate to speak truth to Trump’s power. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Be clear. Our lives mean nothing to these oligarch pigs and their spineless shills.

It is abundantly clear that this administration will shutdown the entire federal government no matter how Congress votes. If @SenateDems stop them now and reject the false choice of this CR, the issue is focused and in the hands of Congress, not Musk. #NoBlankChecks #FightBack

Hmm, related to dissolving TSA agents’ collective bargaining agreement…What the future of air travel will look like?!? Flying out PIT. Never had this here before. Thousand+ people in lines I can’t see end of including PreCheck. TSA said PreCheck hour wait and much longer for regular security.

Leader of the US Flight attendance union calls on workers and their unions to prepare for general #strike as US (public service) workers stripped of bargaining rights by Trump portside.org/2025-03-11/w... Image if that happens, it being accompanied by protests and boycotts around the world....1/2

This new @CNN.com poll shows what we've been saying: Americans don't trust Trump's plans for the economy, don't trust Elon Musk, and don't agree with the cuts made to the federal government. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

Airplanes & porta pots - Gender neutral bathrooms forever. Working class people don’t have time for a bourgeois bathroom battle. We got rent to pay and kids to feed. Get outa here with the corporate elite culture war BS intended to distract us while they steal our money. #ContractNow everywhere.

“I’m a Boston-based flight attendant & I lost my dear friends on 9/11…Security screening on that day…went to the lowest bidder,” @flyingwithsara.bsky.social said. “…we formed #TSA & federalized &connected… 2 all the other intelligence agencies” @stucknation.bsky.social www.salon.com/2025/03/11/p...

What a wanker. 😂

Celebrating International Women's Day! Unions help women achieve workplace equality. This past year has shown us the power of our predominately female profession standing together in OUR union to protect our jobs, conditions in our workplace, and our families and communities.

Today is International Women's Day so here are some kick-ass books by, dare I say, kick-ass women authors. Thank you all for the art, the thoughts, the words 1/

My favorite message from a member today. This is a rational, hard-working, mild-mannered, moderate, selfless American. And clearly, a Patriot.

"There is no such thing as labor peace" - @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

DHS is “ending” TSA collective bargaining. This is terrible for aviation security & everyone who depends on safe travel. It will take us back to the days of security at the lowest price wwith the highest costs for our country. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social statement: www.afacwa.org/afgetsa_cont...

This needs to stop. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

This is the whole game. Everything. Destroy, bulldoze, rebuild without the “bother” of all of us.

Working people at @mspairport.bsky.social working and keeping people safe.

Scapegoating immigrants is a billionaire’s best trick: Keep the public divided while they cash in. My latest in the Arizona Republic, @azcentral.com, on how this is happening: Deporting immigrants like me won't make eggs cheaper or your family safer. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

BREAKING: Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants vote 95% to ratify industry-leading contract! The three-year agreement provides an immediate, double digit wage increase for the 7,000 Flight Attendants, boarding pay, and retroactive pay.

Fellow educators: our students may not understand important terminology, and we shouldn't assume they interpret it uniformly. I put together a handout explaining a key term so I can print copies and leave them around campus, to prompt student reflection and discussion. Feel free to steal and adapt!

‘It’s not Elon versus government, it’s Elon versus everyone’: A dire warning from fired federal workers I spoke w/ 1 current & 2 illegally fired federal workers from the CFPB & USDA @therealnews.com. Everyone really needs to hear what they have to say: therealnews.com/a-dire-warni...

Huge win for AFGE's General Counsel as district court blocks mass firing of probationary federal workers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Jeff Bezos thinks that American media does not cheerlead loudly enough for oligarchy. So he has decided to remake The Washington Post’s opinion section as the tribune of the billionaire class. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Musk claims to be removing fraud from government, but the corruption is happening in plain sight. *He called for the FAA chief who regulates his companies to resign *FAA then cancels a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon and gives it to Musk instead donmoynihan.substack.com/p/musks-frau...

word is getting out, you love to see it #TeslaTakedown the.ink/p/watch-occu...

As pointed out by CNN’s Pete Muntean, this kind of messaging goes against the FAA’s “compliance” policy, which focuses on corrective/training actions that focus on remediation rather than enforcement actions, like license suspensions, following an incident.

No “h”

My sister at TSA Secure Flight HQ & all colleagues got this ridiculous emai. Plus hiring freeze & workers who answer calls from airlines re suspect pax being told they're gone first. Those doing pax vetting worried that they're losing their jobs or doing more w/less. What could possibly go wrong?

To the ENTIRE federal workforce. It's all just a big f'g joke to him. This is our lives. This is our safety and we don’t need distractions from safety. This is also “rich” coming from the richest man on earth because he figured out how to steal our federal $s and he wants more.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

I had a book event for “The Hammer” at the Carter Center last year. It was great and the people there were great too and I assume this makes them sick. Buy Brian’s book and smash fascism in 2025.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Before Trump's inauguration, I spoke w/ @flyingwithsara.bsky.social of @afacwa.org @therealnews.com about the coming attack on federal workers, why it concerns all of us, & how we fight back. If you're feeling overwhelmed & helpless, watch the full interview ❤️✊🏽 therealnews.com/airline-work...

If there’s one group of people who know how to handle entitled middle aged white dudes

Protests are taking place all over the country tonight against cuts to vital federal services. Here in Washington, people are marching to SpaceX’s offices demanding Musk be ousted from the government.
