Jeff Bezos isn't just destroying a media institution. He's also destroying the lives of hundreds of workers. All to line his own pockets, and to try and destroy our democracy.
We proudly stand in solidarity with @CWAUnion workers.

Bitch, please. 🙄 The ONLY thing Greg Abbott has in common with #Teamsters is that he's on wheels... Y'all need to come get your #union, it's drunk. ✊🏻✊🏾✊🏿
Teamsters Joint Council 58 and Joint Council 80, which represent 40,000 rank-and-file Teamsters across Texas, have jointly endorsed Greg Abbott (R-TX) in his re-election for governor.
“Governor Abbott has kept an open door to the Teamsters Union during his tenure and has been willing and eager to partner with us on job creation and workplace protections,” said Brent Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer of Joint Council 80 and International Vice President for the Southern Region. “As our union has shown on a national level, the Teamsters care less about political affiliation and more about protecting good-paying union jobs. Texas Teamsters are proud to support candidates that support the American worker — and in this race, that candidate in Governor Abbott.”
As the current governor, Abbott has given unions a seat at the table and worked to bring more jobs to Texas. He has joined the Teamsters to tackle several priority issues, such as investing in apprenticeship and job training programs, film tax credits, and addressing the threat of autonomous vehicles.
You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep.
Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another.
If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump.
Congratulations to Canada's Liberal Party and Mark Carney on their big election win, and a special thank you to Donald Trump for turning a runaway victory for the Conservatives into an upset win for the Liberals 👍
One full-time job should pay enough to pay your bills and save for the future.
That means fast food workers.
And custodial workers.
And ride-share drivers.
All work deserves pay we can live and thrive on.
Generations of working Americans have benefitted from the leadership, bravery, and persistence of #DoloresHuerta and #FrancesPerkins. Happy Birthday to two phenomenal #women that have immeasurably improved the lives of #workingfamilies! ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿
President Trump is obsessed with my grandfather — but not in his life or what he achieved in it. No, just like @robertfkennedyjr @realdonaldtrump is only interested in JFK’s carcass.

Today, I became a dues paying member of @CA_WFP — I just want to support people who support workers. And unions. Without apology.
It shouldn’t be hard.
There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
