Workers’ rights are human rights.
From fair contracts to safe schools to immigrant justice — nobody is free until everybody is free.
With Trump gutting unions & pitting workers against each other, I'm proud to stand in solidarity with our labor siblings in Boston & across the nation.

Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.”
Really?
White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken.
America already made it about race.

Trump’s disrespect for veterans and their families, which began long ago with his trash-talking John McCain, continues with this rampage of union-busting and deception. Congress must stop Trump’s attack on VA workers, many of them vets and all of them serving veterans.

Curious how these disorganized HHS cuts could play out in the real world?
The folks at the CDC Data Project have crunched the numbers and surprise surprise, it’s gonna be a hot mess, if programs continue at all.
State, local, and tribal governments and communities will suffer too.

This slash & burn per President’s FY 2026 budget isn’t reorganization. It’s a public health disaster in the making. Zero transition plan, mass layoffs in February & April, & CDC core services getting bulldozed.
Efficiency? More like soon to be epic fail if fully implemented.
