[AFSCME @AFSCME]

Bill Lucy was a giant of the labor movement and the civil rights movement. From the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike to his role in ending apartheid, his courageous leadership changed the world. We stand on his shoulders. Rest in power. https://t.co/hdHOZojAGR

@abefromanohio @DaveHolmes For those interested in a deep dive into Minnesota music, here's a mix with 81 songs from 80 artists (Husker Du gets two - one each from Bob and Grant, natch). In honor of Coach Walz! https://t.co/SqGJVIdcpu

[Acyn @Acyn]

Walz: He spent a decade stiffing service workers, from dishwashers, waiters and carpenters on his own properties to enrich himself. As president, he cut overtime benefits for millions of workers. And he opposed any effort to raise the minimum wage. That's all you need to know

[Acyn @Acyn]

Walz: Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, they see the world very differently than we do. The only thing those two guys know about working people is how to work to take advantage of them. Every single chance they've gotten, they've waged war on workers.

[AFSCME @AFSCME]

Gov. Walz: the first union-member on the presidential ticket since 1989.

Thanks for showing up for AFSCME, @GovTimWalz — we're ready to fight alongside you to protect our freedom to organize, to have a voice on the job, and to thrive.
