I’ve been on Bluesky, although not very active. This post is for my new followers. Worker solidarity 24/7.
This clip is a glimpse in what I do. My solidarity is never transactional. My purpose is to amplify worker struggles and be the support that workers need to realize their collective power.

It’s 2026 and working people are finding ways to be a part of building an ALF (Area Labor Federation) in North Texas. While on the clock or representing union workers from the hall, it’s an exciting time to see how workers are plugging in to be a part of creating an organization for all North Texans

You can tell that Vanity Fair photo shoot is still living rent-free in their heads
the photographer was definitely like, "ok everybody, look tough!" but we know they're all just reading tweets with their arms crossed in a country club dining room divided up by bedsheets tacked to the beams

Watching cable news analysts react to and talk about how they feel the regime change in Venezuela is gonna play out after Trump kidnapped Maduro, is like watching a weekly NFL pregame show. They’re even breaking down tactics used to BOMB A COUNTRY like this is some sort of run-pass option attack.

Borrowed a laptop from the labor council over the holiday break and I’ve been able to do so much since. Doing zoom calls and work on my phone hasn’t stopped me from participating, but having a laptop definitely makes the job easier.
Hell, I started this work using the public library computers!

I feel like I have some pretty strong support from the building trades unions. One less thing to worry about when trying to get this merger of two labor councils together.

There’s only 1 labor leader in the country I always knew spoke up for me in spaces I wasn’t in, with zero hesitation. You’ll get a lot out of a man like me if you got my back like that!

An overwhelming majority of Americans support unions—but union membership rates continue to decline.
That’s because anti-union corporations are spending huge amounts of money to silence workers and stop them from organizing in the workplace.
