Is this a pair of American Black Ducks, lurking among the Mallards? We think so, but confirmation would be welcome.

Pay attention.

Trump effectively green-lit violence against abortion clinics and patients. Now, extremists say they’re “going to disrupt this country” as much as they can. 🧵👇

If there were any truth in the so-called "right to work" "movement", this org.👇🏼 would be called "The National Fire At-Will Foundation." There's nothing it that's about defending #workersrights. #labor
The National Right to Work Foundation thinks they can get away with union-busting in Butte, America. Is Mountain West Holding Company helping them?

Today, the Virginia House Labor and Commerce Subcommittee #2 voted to advance HB 1263.

Home care workers thank champions like Delegate Ward, Delegate Lopez, Delegate Convirs-Fowler, and Delegate LeVere Bolling for voting YES on HB 1263. Thank you for standing with Virginia’s public servants.

The Trump admin's rule change is another maneuver straight out of the Project 2025 playbook to purge career federal workers and replace them with political loyalists.

The labor movement stands with federal workers. We’ll see you in court, President Trump. https://bit.ly/4rCFgib

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

At 17, with no money or legal options, actress Sally Field had to cross the border to get the abortion she needed. She reminds us that bans don’t stop abortions from happening. They just make getting them safely more complicated. Like she says, we ALL have to stand up and fight.

The Trump admin is ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, essentially firing 300,000 workers who are essential to our communities and economy.

We urge President Trump to redesignate Haiti TPS and avoid destabilizing families across the country.
Haitians Are Vital to U.S. Health Care. Many Are About to Lose Their Right to Work.

WGA East members at Hearst Magazines are bargaining for a fair union contract and need your support!

Members are seeking reasonable proposals that address pay equity, raises that keep pace with inflation, remote work flexibility, and protections against the reckless use of AI.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
