Working people are tired of politicians who talk about our struggles without having lived them. Union candidates know what it’s like to work for a living. That’s why we need to send our union brother @troyjackson207.bsky.social to the Senate - to fight for us, not billionaires.

Everything is too expensive. Working people are struggling with skyrocketing prices on rent, utilities, gas, groceries - literally everything. Let’s elect pro-worker candidates across the country and create an economy that works for all of us. betterinaunion.org

Good luck to our MLBPA union brothers on the Brewers and Rays tonight as they start the World Series! Play ball, and solidarity forever. ⚾️✊

Working people are struggling. Prices on gas, groceries, rent, utilities - everything is skyrocketing. We need elected pro-worker candidates who will stand with workers and help create an economy that works for ALL of us. Make your plan to vote: betterinaunion.org

Working people make the economy run. And this election season, we’re making sure our voices are heard across the country. Let’s take back our power and our country! Make your plan to vote: BetterInAUnion.org

Working people aren’t asking for luxury. We want some breathing room so we can actually live instead of barely making ends meet. Everything is too expensive. We need elected leaders who will create an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires.

Tonight is about the athletes who put in the work, the players and teams battling for a title, and the fans who love this game. Good luck to our WNBPA union sisters tonight ahead of Game 3 of the WNBA finals! 💜✊

This economy is broken for working families. That’s why union members are out in force across Texas to elect pro-worker candidates like our union brother @jamestalarico.bsky.social up and down the ballot. Don’t mess with Texas workers! ✊

FEMA helps our family, friends and neighbors in their greatest moments of need get help and get back to normal after disaster strikes. Working families deserve to know that their ability to get help won’t be compromised by the Trump administration.

Stressed doomscrolling about the upcoming election? Take it from our Director of Data & Analytics: Forget the polls and predictions, ignore Bluesky and VOTE – early, if possible. betterinaunion.org

Texans are tired of business as usual. Billionaires keep getting richer and richer while we’re struggling to make ends meet. We need elected leaders who will create an economy that works for all of us. That’s why working people support @jamestalarico.bsky.social for the U.S. Senate!

8% of households are going hungry. 16% of adults can’t pay all their bills in full. 26% skipped medical care due to costs. ALL while CEOs bring home 312x what workers do. Workers are stressing over every bill. We need leaders who are focused on helping us, not billionaires.

It’s time that workers got their fair share of the profits THEY create. And it’s time that workers had an economy that works for ALL of us, not just billionaires and giant corporations. Let’s vote to change this economy so it works for working people. betterinaunion.org

Working people don’t like it when you tear up union contracts, rip health care away from millions of people, take food assistance away from hungry kids and make shit more expensive. We need elected leaders who are focused on giving workers some much needed breathing room.

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating -- its all time low! -35 points, the worst he has ever been in the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Among independents he's 54 points underwater. NBC -- worst ever. ABC -- worst ever. Ipsos -- worst ever. Pew -- worst ever."

2 weeks until Election Day. It’s the final stretch - let’s get out there, talk with our friends, neighbors and union family and win this election for working people so we can finally build an economy that works for all of us! betterinaunion.org
