Here is a group of educators I helped organize during a contract fight. Their agreement was expiring, so they decided to all wear black to the meeting.

What trump is doing is nothing about law and order. It IS about making a case to protect his next unlawful and unconstitutional election. That’s what authoritarians do.
January 6 police dismiss Trump’s newfound zeal to tackle violence in DC
Officers who were attacked by the pro-Trump mob in 2021 are unimpressed by the crime crackdown: ‘Whenever he says he’s all for law and order, I have a bridge to sell you’

every boss filing for a picket injunction is whining that the union is making it too hard to get their scabs across the line and should be treated accordingly

A reminder that not only did Ryan Mackenzie vote to cut Medicaid and Medicare for all Americans, but one of his pet projects is to make it easier for employers to classify workers as independent contractors

Get an AI clause in your contract.
Make your estate planning explicit; do not leave room for interpretation by your heirs or publishers so that they can do this or anything like this.
This is abuse of a corpse and it is REVOLTING.

The BBC has created an electric zombie Agatha Christie in order to sell writing classes. This is stomach-churningly awful, and the sooner this stupid, useless, frankly evil bubble bursts, the better. Disgusting.

March’s finished books. More nonfiction than fiction, which is unusual for me.
Slowing down in April with only one book completed as of today.

Stop Musk or Shut It Down
Johnson needs Dem votes to keep the government open.
AND he wants those votes to legitimate Elon's lawless destruction.
This is the Democrats' best chance to educate the public about the coup in progress.
Zero votes for Elon's coup must be our demand.
Right?

In case y’all were wondering, the rest of our household’s winter break included RSV, lots of lovely family time, and what I can only assume was norovirus.
Back to work as of Tuesday. Let’s organize some new unions!

Snowy first Saturday of winter break. Reading with a cup of tea. There is still a lot of organizing to do, but it is important to know when to rest, and how to refill your cup as an organizer.

Pennsylvania is already spending more than half a billion dollars annually on private school tax credits. The effort to create a voucher program in PA is about breaking the promise of accountable, non-discriminatory, secular education for all kids no matter how poor or disadvantaged. #PHLed
And one mechanism for funding vouchers is a giant giveaway for the wealthy who don't like paying taxes.

A coworker recently spelled my name as “Tiffancy” in an email and I’m feeling like that will by my theme of 2025.

I’ll admit mint is a year round flavor for me, so I prefer my boss/billionaire tears prepared as a mulled wine. Orange, cinnamon, and clove.

20 years ago I was the rep for a small school support staff union in central Illinois. The contract language kin job vacancies was that the Superintendent had to post the job title, qualifications, and starting wage on the main office bulletin board.
