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.

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.

This guy is VP of the biggest local in my union. My eyes fucking hurt.
lmfao a VP of the NYC *transportation workers union* is telling people to vote against Zohran because he’s too tough on car owners

Zohran Mamdani won his election as Mayor of NYC tonight. The Democratic Socialist beat the billionaires of the city because he appealed people with good policy.
I never needed validation for my support of DSA, but this W give me hope for the future.

Love to see community come together to create food distribution locations for people to get food from while SNAP is unavailable.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that organizing people for a general strike to bring this government shutdown to a screeching halt, would bring immediate results!

The forced rehabilitation of George Bush Jr’s image by the media is some shit. That man deserves no love, but we gotta sit through networks putting him on camera.

Trump endorsing Andrew Cuomo over his own party’s candidate in the NYC mayoral race is proof that billionaires will vote for their own interests above their political party’s interests.

I found a great deal on a new smoker. If you know anything about living in Texas, you gotta try smoking your own meats, especially if you have the space to do so. Eventually, I want to dig up an ‘Umu in the backyard IYKYK. Waiting on approval from the other half, then I’ll be set! 🤠👍🏾

I envisioned my first swearing-in with my family in attendance. They’ve been serving the workers too, although not by choice lol. The consolation was watching these 2 Union brothers walk through the door when they did. I can’t tell you how filled with joy I was.

Legal aid workers with @uaw.org are fighting back layoffs of over 50 of attorneys & staff without explanation or severance. That type of behavior WILL NOT DO!

Sworn in to serve my 1st full-term for my local. Looking like I would on a picket line, all-black everything. One time a picketer told me I looked like a street preacher when I spoke to his coworkers. Hell, I took that shit and ran with it 😈🙏🏽🔥

Finally getting sworn in to serve my 1st full term as rep for my workgroup on the union local’s executive board. It’s been a while since I’ve been around folks from my international. With the exception of maybe one person, I’d like to keep the conversations brief 😂
