@SenAshleyMoody I urge you to reject Trump’s Postal Board of Governors nominees, Jeffrey Brodsky and William Gallo. They have no relevant experience or expertise.

Do you think the public should hold a (non-binding) vote on the Rays stadium deal?

St. Petersburg City Council member @richiejfloyd wants a discussion on a potential straw poll put to voters.

We are doing our best to fight for working people in this increasingly hostile state. I'm so grateful for @thenation and @kathrynvarn for giving me the opportunity to share a bit of that story with the world.

It's been over a year since I brought up providing legal counsel to ALL tenants facing eviction in our city, regardless of income, and I'm proud to say we took the first step last week by fully funding a pilot in South St Pete!

St. Petersburg city council member @richiejfloyd and his wife Miranda, a labor delegate, made it over to the @UAW picket line in Orlando.

Lots of honks from passing semis, including some Amazon and USPS trucks.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

The writers strike is FINALLY over. Thank you all so, so much. Here's what we won.

[Anthony Close ☀️ @AnthonyClose]

The City and the Rays claim the stadium deal's affordable housing goals are "substantially increased" from the initial proposal.

I don't see how that is anything but not true.

The initial proposal included 1,459 units of affordable housing. The current includes 1,200 units.

[Richie Floyd @richiejfloyd]

This is serious. It's bare knuckle class war out here lately. The bosses have long since stopped giving a damn about the people that make the world run, and the UAW is standing up for all of us

Please consider signing this petition for the UNF faculty union, especially if you live in Florida!

[UFF-UNF @UFF_UNF]

URGENT ACTION NEEDED! UNF continues to advance language that would jeopardize the jobs of tenured faculty who consistently meet, exceed, or far exceed expectations in their annual reviews. Please sign this petition to demand that UNF BOT protects faculty.

Over 9,000 workers at Rutger with 3 unions are on a historic strike, the first in the university's 257 year existence.

And they seem to be having a great time making history.

Bullies in Tallahassee keep pushing to strip the rights of nurses, 911 operators, teachers, bus drivers, sanitation workers and everyone in the public sector who make our lives better. Don't let them! Click here to call your legislators now. https://t.co/2ugKvour1u
