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 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.
I will always belong to the 513 ✊🏾❤️

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 😈🙏🏽🔥

2 different union videos made this week, 2 different union struggles, and I spotted myself in both videos in the thick of it with the workers.
Whether it’s SBWU or UAW, whoever dares to form a union and fight for a 1st contract, I won’t be far behind supporting said workers! ✊🏾

So I just found out that as President of my labor council, I have a board seat somewhere else. With this whole government shutdown, there will be federal workers who will need assistance with their bills.
I’m gonna take advantage of all opportunities to help federal workers ✊🏾👍🏾

Workers from Meow Wolf are organized with @cwaunion.bsky.social and are negotiating for a 1st contract. We joined the workers outside of Grapevine Mills Mall for an info picket on the same day Meow Wolf corporate heads are touring the location.
I found a spot on the line with young supporters! ✊🏾

I love that my tiktok about the second called Italian general strike is catching traction with Italians.
When I gotta hit translate and hear how Italian workers feel right now, these the type of stories I take and pass on when workers ask me about solidarity with Palestine! ✊🏾🇵🇸

The Global Sumud Flotilla is being abducted by the Israeli Navy as I record this. Livestreams of the international event are flooding TikTok. Another general strike has been called on in Italy in retaliation of the fate of the flotilla on October 3rd by Genoa dockworkers!

People from all across the world are TikTok live streaming the abduction of the Israeli Navy upon the Global Sumud Flotilla. I’ve flipped through every news station and not a mention of the situation.
TikTok will be something else soon once Netenyahu gets his wish.

October is STRIKETOBER
It was October of 2021. During the summer, worker-led strikes were popping off all across the country, this being the biggest strikewave in decades. NBC News caught wind of an article chronicling my travels during this period, reached out, and I made it onto NBC’s Today Show

On this day 3 years ago, I flew up to join Philadelphia Museum of @afscme.bsky.social Philadelphia Art workers on strike, eventually winning a contract they deserved some days later.
This picket line had some memorable chants. “No contract, No peace. No contract, NO MATISSE! ✊🏾🔥
