[Massachusetts AFL-CIO @massaflcio]

President @chrissylynch29 just joined @JessJTang from @AFTMass, Rich Couture from @AFGENational Co. 215, and thousands of Bostonians to send the Trump/Musk administration a clear message: #HandsOff Massachusetts, #HandsOff our workers, #HandsOff our #Unions! @AFLCIO #mapoli

Also love that it was labor night and the partnership with the @massaflcio was fundraising for support to an addiction recovery fund. ✊🍀

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" Dropkick Murphys nails it again!!

The world's richest person is targeting me & other teachers because we are fighting for vital fed’l ed programs that help families & students. They attack because they want tax cuts for the rich. Stop taking money from poor kids & kids with disabilities. https://t.co/cngS4vDsW3

.@MayorWu came to Washington to defend Boston, tell an accurate story of our vibrant and diverse city, and affirm that immigration is essential to our city's success.

She did not just meet the moment—she exceeded it.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

DOGE is a trojan horse to gut labor, consumer, and environmental protections.

If DOGE actually wanted to cut waste, it would address the massive tax loopholes, government contracts, and subsidies that benefit the wealthy and large corporations.

BREAKING: Massive anti-Trump protest taking place outside the US Capitol building.

I certainly don’t remember Americans protesting Biden’s presidency like this. Crowd size matters, right?

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

Musk is firing people who operate the Veterans Crisis Line. One of the most substantial and successful tools to fight veteran suicide today. They literally did a 2014 documentary about it that won an Oscar. Can someone point me to the outrage from the MAGA “we love the troops” crowd?

Nope…crickets. It’s always been a lie.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

[Javier Corrales @jcorrales2011]

All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes checked off.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The decision to pause federal grants and loans is intentionally chaotic and designed for maximum harm, like so many of Donald Trump and the GOP’s recent actions. From hurting food banks to closing daycares, Republicans are targeting everyday people and putting them at risk. Let’s break down what’s at stake. 🧵

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

Americans need a federal government that works for them, not against them. The president's actions harm all Americans including children with disabilities, families in need of housing, seniors who rely on Medicaid for healthcare, and first responders. https://t.co/YumhSmGcxw

[Alliance for Retired Americans @ActiveRetirees]

Firing federal workers won't get Social Security checks out any faster. It won't help veterans or seniors get the care they need.

It just makes things harder.

[Senator Angela Alsobrooks @Sen_Alsobrooks]

You know who relies on federal grants?

-Veterans who need housing
-Hungry kids whose parents rely on SNAP benefits
-Police officers who need equipment
-Families who've lost their homes in natural disasters

These are the Americans the Admin has decided to target. It's shameful.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has declined to stop Trump's sentencing tomorrow, meaning it will happen. John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett sided with the liberals on the court.

At the very moment democracy is reeling nationally, Lawrence, MA is being denied a democratically elected school committee. Instead let's have: More democracy. Less oligarchy. https://t.co/v40kuUKLfo @lguisbond
