9 months into this administration & we are accelerating towards the negative trifecta of stagflation —simultaneous sluggish growth, high unemployment & rising inflation. Accompanied with trending authoritarianism & pubic assaults on personhoods grounded racisms, sexism and nativism. #ReverseCourse
Let’s get out and early vote and be strong against any attempted Election Day shenanigans! It’s OUR government. #ElectionSeason
My friend and colleague. Always a great day when I get to see Ashwini!

Today is yet another sad day for America.

Our political landscape filled with hate instead of love and humanity and it must change. It cannot go on like this, it is unsustainable. 1/3

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Today’s jobs report shows the Trump admin’s policies are slowing job creation, increasing unemployment and disproportionately harming Black workers. America’s unions will keep fighting for all workers to have the freedom, fairness and security they need. aflcio.org/press/releas...
Grateful for the platform, support and partnership!

BIG UP’s to President Shuler-
“….Trump’s illegal…pattern to bend independent agencies to his political will”

Also patterned…Trump’s slander against Black leadership & Black excellence as fodder for his abusive attempts to grab authoritarian power #Politics_of_division
President Trump’s illegal attempted firing of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve is part of a pattern to bend independent agencies to his political whims, risking jobs and our economy. Congress and the courts must rein in these attacks. aflcio.org/press/releas...
