Trump & Hegseth boast the renamed Dept. of War will “go on offense.” Already, civilians have been killed in U.S. strikes near Venezuela. Sam breaks it down & interviews aviation worker & organizer @alexander-roberts.bsky.social working to force airlines out of ICE’s mass deportation machine.

This Labor Day I’m grateful to be a dues-paying member and rep of a great labor union. @apfaunity.bsky.social
I’m reflecting on the accomplishments of organized labor, and recommitting to the labor movement. When corporate greed has run amok, unions are more important now than ever.

The Trump Administration's cruel mass deportation effort has no place on commercial flights.
If the admin was forced to use gov planes and charters, without access to 45k daily commercial flights, it would limit these lawless deportations.

As Trump continues his immigration crackdown, commercial airlines are forced to assist. But airlines are for consumers and cargo, not deportations.

The Trump Administration is for, by, and of the filthy rich — trying to slash Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security for their next billionaire tax break.
On May Day, I represented the APFA Union as we demanded they finally prioritize the people over their profits.

This Easter, the teachings of Jesus feel especially poignant. I’m reflecting on the 2,000+ verses that instruct us to welcome the immigrant, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and love our neighbor as ourselves.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror
