“In essence, ‘Right-to-Work’ undermines the democratic freedoms and constitutional rights of employees, a stance that every legislator in New Hampshire should reject. These laws deprive workers of freedom and flexibility, sacrificing job security and benefits. Implementing “Right-to-Work” intensifies the challenges faced by struggling working-class families rather than alleviating them. Our responsibility is to champion the interests of working individuals and their families throughout New Hampshire, aiming to simplify, not complicate, their lives in both residence and employment.” President @RichGulla, SEA/SEIU Local 1984

just found this tag on the inside of my wedding dress -- the ILGWU was a primarily Jewish, immigrant and female-led labor union that helped organize a 20,000 person walkout at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in 1909 and a 60k-person revolt of cloak makers the following year

@NHGOPViceChair@realDonaldTrump Well there is one thing right in this tweet, the date of his assassination.
#MLK was fighting for social and economic justice. He fought to undo generations of systemic racism while lifting millions more out of poverty. It had nothing to do with him being a Christian.
"I'm simply saying the racists believe he's a racist."

Today's Consumer Price Index report showed inflation continues to climb to record rates.
But the media keeps missing this part of the story: corporations are using inflation as an excuse to raise prices and make fatter profits.
Respect NH describes itself as "an independent community dedicated to giving Granite Staters a voice in state & local government" but the lack of transparency about who is behind it & how it is funded suggests this ostensibly grassroots campaign is anything but. #NHPolitics /end
