This has happened before , but this is a new level of ICE interference on the right to organize a Union.
BREAKING: We have filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge against Wafler Farms in upstate New York for failing to implement a collective bargaining agreement with the UFW, as required by New York State Law.
We will hold employers who violate their workers’ rights accountable.

If none of it was classified then Jeffery Goldberg can release it to the public.
Warner: And the idea somehow, well, none of this was classified, but we can't talk about it here. You can't have it both ways.

If the first two points below are true, I guess, Jeffery Goldberg can release it all to the public.
The White House has apparently decided the best course of action is to lie their way through it.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

There was a plan and Schumer crapped out. NOW WHAT????
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Oligarchs like Elon Musk know politics is about power.
They also know that unions build the kind of real democratic power—for all of us, not just union members—that keeps oligarchs in check.
Will we reclaim that power?

This is helpful and worth a read.
Unions have won language to protect their immigrant members from ICE interrogations at work, to safeguard their privacy, to prevent retaliation, and more. @nataschaelena.bsky.social and @sarahlazare.bsky.social compiled details from collective bargaining agreements: labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

So much for, "Just Targeted Searches",\.
Trump’s deportation forces have already started highway checkpoints in Arizona according to this video.
In Trump’s America, it seems to be just a matter of time before you’ll be asked to show your papers.

Electronic price labels are prone to malfunction, which forces employees to work harder to make it clear to shoppers what they would be charged at checkout. What is the logic of retailers spending money on glitchy technology that doesn’t improve service?
