The Union Rep

I’m fucking exhausted by bloggers who attack Trump nonstop while doing nothing to impede his power. They love sounding smart, but won’t get their hands dirty doing politics. Social media is mostly a feedback loop of sycophants and people who already agree with you. A clever tweet changes nothing.

The coverage has been disgraceful. Good on @marisakabas.bsky.social for holding the NYT accountable.

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

Fascists around the world are building cross-country partnerships. Any competent pro-democracy effort at home would do well to partner with and learn from pro-democracy movements abroad. So congrats and appreciation to the democratic movement leaders in Hungary, Serbia, and Brazil!!!

In a desperate attempt to raise his poll numbers, and take a stand that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with, Trump is now claiming he too hates Bill Maher.

Yesterday, Brazil and Serbia secured major wins for democracy. In 8 days, it’s our turn. #NoKings ❌👑

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

For more than 50 years, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) has championed a proud tradition of labor organizing, amplified Latino voices within the AFL-CIO, and united workers in the fight for dignity, collective power and solidarity.

🔥 @rolandsmartin.bsky.social encourages Black voters to back @abdulelsayed.bsky.social: “We cannot play games with this election.”

Really dig the new doc about my dear friend @mariabamford.bsky.social. Unsurprisingly, every single clip of her comedy is hilarious. And I’m so happy her Late Late Show spot was shown in its entirety. In my opinion, it’s the greatest six-minute late-night stand-up set ever. I love you, Maria.

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

Trump should be impeached — and real accountability will require more than impeachment.

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

Adam Kinzinger voted with Donald Trump 90% of the time during his final term in Congress

I have been pushing @indivisible.org since I attended my first meeting. It is the only legit grass roots org pushing back against fascism. There is no one else, even 30-40% or labor orgs are compromised by fascism. Support indivisible and help us win!!!

I can confirm. Indivisible Action spends about a dime of every dollar raised on fundraising costs, which is very efficient. They are a good example of what a genuine grassroots operation looks like.

this is why we did a ton of polling on winning messages and what we found is that cracking down on corruption is really, really important for any cost-of-living argument because people straight up don't believe any of your promises if you don't show you're serious about accountability

It’s just more out in the open now tbh (Watch Gutfeld just be openly racist on Fox with @jessicatarlov.bsky.social )

Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @barackobama.bsky.social & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

This is exactly right. They're trying to replicate the bottomlessly cynical approach without Trump and they're face-planting

I refuse to figure out who Ethan Klein is and there is nothing you people can do that will change that

He’s evil.

I’d be fine with this as a hiring hall union but the retail folks don’t want that, they want their cake and eat it too!

I am ashamed my international union president did a press conference with Lawler.

Wyatt is a three-time Trump voter. Listen to why he's supporting this movement in November.

The live streaming execution is not happening after all because the administration and political party that always sides with pedophiles and rapists does not want to come off as inhumane.

Take your gun off, take that armor off and knuckle up you fuckin pussy ass bitch

CANVASS RALLY. DEARBORN. FRIDAY. OCT 30.

Thank you for the kind words @aoc.bsky.social

Everybody in the pro-democracy movement should have Ilhan Omar’s back.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Mike Rogers was just caught on tape talking about how he wanted to make sure that there were retired cops who could intimidate voters in the city of Detroit. We deserve the right to vote. People have fought and died for that right. No more election deniers.

Very valuable and very sober analysis www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-puti...

Polls show that only 75% of Republicans are now OK with Trump shooting someone in the head on 5th Ave.

Man, those wockaflockas went from "Release the Epstein files" to beatin' up whoever says "Release the Epstein files" reeeeeal fast.

@adamkinzinger.substack.com once said UAW had no business advocating against a war fought by the United States, but here he is advocating to end the war. Glad to have you in the right team finally Adam, hope you are donating more than you are posting and grand standing

Good news for Ramaswamy: thanks to his bold pro-pedophile, anti-rape victim stance, he is now the frontrunner to become Governor of Epstein Island.

The fish rots from the head. The No Kings coalition has not received a response from Zuckerberg yet for meta interfering in No Kings day on Saturday. This is a transparent ploy to cozy up to the new congress as Trump loses power. It will not stop accountability for what meta has done.

Everyone should be more like Andy! Either knock doors, make calls, or get that check book out!! Your money is the most effective, door knocks and phone banks are the best most effective. It takes all kinds!! Pitch in and help!

Thank you to the Black Slate and all the members who joined our town hall! I'm proud to be endorsed by this powerful organization that's been on the frontlines fighting for Black prosperity in our state for generations.

TONIGHT: @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and @ezralevin.bsky.social will be on @ms.now to talk about No Kings, Meta censorship, and election sabotage. Ezra is joining @chrislhayes.bsky.social later this hour and Leah will chat with @maddow.bsky.social. Tune in on your preferred device.

Please join Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, Rep. Debbie Dingell, Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social, and me for a canvass launch in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, October 21st!

Unbelievable

Congrats and thank you to everyone who participated today. We have a little over two weeks left to get out the vote. A better future is within our reach, but first we have to vote in such overwhelming numbers that the election outcome cannot be denied. bsky.app/profile/indi...

Help defeat fascism! Elect Sherrod Brown! @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social @actblueorg.bsky.social
