BREAKING: 2nd federal judge, Donato/SF/Obama, blocks Trump effort to end collective bargaining by federal employee unions at several major agencies. Friedman/DC/Clinton also blocked but DC Cir stayed. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Banning states from passing or enforcing laws that protect workers from AI for the next DECADE is just plain reckless. The labor movement is urging the Senate to remove this harmful, anti-worker provision from their budget bill.

Some good news 🎉 Federal workers retain the right to collective bargaining Losing collective bargaining would’ve made it easier to fire feds and block unions from challenging Trump administrative moves in court. A big win for federal workers—and for the rest of us who rely on them

The Trump appointed chair of the FTC says boycotts are a form of censorship! The FTC is investigating Media Matters for its revealing of advertisers on. X (aka Twitter) that ran along anti-Semitic content. FTC is launching other investigations of groups that use boycotts too. #labormovment

Microsoft has laid off some 860 software engineers with more layoffs coming next month and later this year. AI is taking their jobs. AI will replace college grads much faster than it will affect carpenters. Trump’s budget bill bans AI regulations by states,& Congress can’t either. #labormovement

Deja Vu all over again…I can’t get the “MissionAccomplished” banner picture of President George Bush out of my head. Afghanistan lasted twenty years.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access. Why is this even a debate? www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-year...

If an unidentified man with a mask grabs you in a parking lot or on a sidewalk or in the park, are you allowed to defend yourself with a knife or gun?

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

How can any of us know when some masked men grab you in a Parking lot or on a sidewalk that you aren’t going to be robbed, raped, assaulted and kidnapped for ransom?

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

MISSING: Palantir founder, Peter Thiel. Tends to hide with an incel named Curtis Yarvin, plotting the overthrow of democracy together. Have you seen this megalomaniac?

3 years ago, the Supreme Court took away a woman’s right to make her own health decisions. Attacks on reproductive freedom have only gotten worse since. I co-sponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act because no politician should stand between a patient and her doctor.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Today marks 3 years since this corrupt SCOTUS passed Dobbs & overturned Roe v Wade. In my own country, guns & fetuses have more rights than I do as a woman. Women must have bodily autonomy. No man should decide what rights I have over my own body; that is between me & my doctor.

I hope you are also helping workers who have to work outside in the heat to stay safe with available shade & water. Construction workers, Farmworkers & others are at risk in extreme heat!

100 days. 💔

Tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision, taking away the right of women to control their own reproductive health decisions. A very expensive, costly decision.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

The guru searched for Nirvana and found it in The used record bin #vss365 #haiku

The severe heat wave hitting most of the country this week will kill workers who have to work outside unless their states have decent safe heat standards. But just a handful of states do. Construction workers, farmworkers & thousands of others need safe heat standards! #labormovement

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

Been there, done that.

Who cares? Clinton doesn’t even live in NYC.

TACO Tik Tok again and again and again.

Yes, several in Gaza

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
