"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

We are being evicted out of our union office on campus. On the bright side, it’s 2025, and telework works. We may not be in the building, but we’re not going anywhere. #union #solidarity #unionbustingisdisgusting

Secretary Collins is hoping to silence whistleblowers by taking away their union protections at VA. In response, we are gonna tell EVERYONE EVERYTHING. Follow us on FB @afgelocal2328.

In case you haven’t heard, Secretary Collins got so pissed off at AFGE for winning in court, he has unilaterally eliminated collective bargaining for 300,000 VA employees. Never in the history of ever have the union busters been the good guys. #ThenTheyCameForTheTradeUnionists

Thanks @ricksmithshow.bsky.social for taking the time to talk with me this week. Federal employees, 1/3 of whom are veterans, deserve to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

Apparently ICE believes the correct response to “do you have a judicial warrant” is “you’re under arrest.” 2025 is a dumpster fire. #Democracy

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.
