The past 100 days have been a whirlwind. We launched @deptofworkers.bsky.social and built it into a real powerhouse for the @aflcio.org and the labor movement at large.
This is a generational moment. Every time labor has been knocked down, we get back up stronger than before.

Throughout the first 100 days of the Trump admin, America’s unions have been relentlessly fighting back against the billionaire takeover, and we’re winning.

🧵 I’ve submitted my resignation, and my 14+-year career at the U.S. Department of Labor is over.

I’ll save my anger for later. I’m one of thousands, not special, but I want to say how grateful I am for the profound and precious place I’m leaving.

This morning Sec. Chavez-DeRemer touted federal layoffs as "right-sizing," using private sector jargon to mask the destruction of critical public sector services.

Can't fool us, lady. Cuts at DOL will cost Americans in many ways, from recovering workers' back wages to keeping them safe on the job.

President Trump is trying to eliminate collective bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

This is a blatant attempt to silence working people who have stood up to his illegal anti-worker actions.

America’s unions won't be silenced. We'll be even louder.
