From #Missoula County Dems: "Yesterday UFP Edge announced a layoff of about 100 employees from its facility in the Bonner Industrial Park. If you or someone you know is affected, they should know to not voluntarily resign before the layoff, so they stay eligible for unemployment assistance." (1/3)

"The Department of Labor and Industry is holding a rapid response event Aug 6 at 9 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn. Please attend if you're affected, and support your neighbors if you're not. The University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research's current report shows..." (2/3)

"that #Montana will be affected more strongly by tariffs than other states. Ranchers, farmers, and the tourism industry are expressing concerns -- and asking for relief and stability. These are tough times, and important times to look out for one another however we can." (3/3)

This is why you should join our LA chapter and all the partner organizations in their campaign to boycott Home Depot (among many other reasons)

ICE just raided our local Home Depot in Orlando. Of course, the masked thugs didn’t pick up any members of MS-13 — just a few hardworking immigrants trying to put food on the table for their families.

Little girls were swept away by the dozens & killed by the flood while at summer camp & without FEMA FUNDING bedridden & disabled American are going to die from natural disasters they could have been rescued from & warned against. I have never seen a more incompetent government ever. It’s insane.

URGENT 🚨 ‼️ Protest happening at the #Helena Police Department. More folks are on the way. It was only a matter of time until ICE got here. And they won’t stop with just one or two detainees. You want more than once a month protests? Show the heck up for your immigrant neighbors. #MTpol #MTnews

Protecting Montanans is a foreign concept to Daines and Sheehy. They don't give a damn about us - they proved it when they sold Montanans out with their "yes" vote. #mtpol

Come on, folks... let's let Daines and Sheehy know we're watching what they do on this abominable budget bill. As of this morning they both only had around 2k calls. Steve Daines - Washington, D.C. (202) 224-2651 Tim Sheehy - Washington, D.C. (202) 224-2644

5 Calls@5calls.org

To date, you have made OVER 500,000 calls via 5 Calls to your Senators to oppose HR 1 🔥📞🔥 NC Senators have received the most calls and notably Thom Thillis was one of 2 Republican NOs on the procedural vote last night. Keep the pressure up! The fight on the floor is not over... bit.ly/5calls-hr1

Overwhelmed by the news? Every Monday, we're breaking down one key issue in Montana or Washington into a simple message to send your elected officials. This week: Senators, protect Montanans for once by voting no on the budget bill. #mtpol

We request that #Montana Rep. Steve Gist delete his comment and issue an apology, not only to his constituents, but to the families who are suffering in the wake of the violence in Minnesota. Use our toolkit to learn how to take action: tinyurl.com/RemoveGist. #ShameOnGistMT

Rep. Zooey Zephyr@zoandbehold.bsky.social

On the heels of a political assassination, a Montana Republican legislator says it's "time to go after the head of the snake." It's this type of rhetoric that emboldens the worst actors to commit violence. This type of rhetoric is always deplorable, but from a sitting legislator, it's inexcusable.

Working class solidarity isn't just for unionized workers. When it extends beyond these categories, real change can emerge. Right now, @sn-media-guild.bsky.social is asking for support from the community. They have been negotiating their first contract for over 400 days. We must stand with them.

Science News Media Guild@sn-media-guild.bsky.social

Sign our petition to let @society4science.bsky.social @mayaajmera.bsky.social know you stand with us! We just want management to value our work as much as we value its mission to inform, educate and inspire. A #faircontract shouldn't take over a year to negotiate! actionnetwork.org/petitions/fo...

Why is community support important for union action ❓ Over the decades, successful labor action has typically included the support of community members outside of the union. This can look like signing petitions, going to picket lines and rallies, helping with food for strikers, and more. 🧵

So, not only did Mike Lee make abhorrent comments about the murder of one representative and the attack of another, but we have one here in #Montana who thinks that’s acceptable as well. We cannot stand for this in our state. GSMT will be putting together action items for you. Stay tuned.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

We CANNOT think individually, #Montana. We must think of the collective health and conservation of ALL public lands, far beyond our state. Because when they come for one, they come for all. Also, fuck Sheehy and Daines.

The GOP Senate bought Senator Sheeny and Senator Daines yes votes for the reconciliation bill by exempting Montana from the sale of any of it's public lands. Every other state with public lands should be outraged that Montana got a special deal while selling them out.

The Trump Administration’s proposed budget cuts threaten funding to programs that help Montana families stay healthy, including Medicaid. No Montanan should go to bed at night wondering if they’ll lose healthcare coverage or be able to access their providers.

Providers are under attack—and now, so are the protections that keep them safe. Over the weekend, Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed. Two more legislators were shot. And a hit list with abortion providers was found in the suspect’s car.

MT's tribal communities are facing cuts to vital food bank programs. Secretary Kennedy broke his promise to support healthy food access in Indian Country, slashing funding for programs that provide nutritious, locally-sourced meals. Our tribes deserve better, let's fight for their food security.
