“We should be at the table as well.” 2,100 UC tech workers just voted to unionize, forming the largest tech worker union in US history, with AI governance as a core bargaining issue. #TechUnion#UnionStrong

I really think you need to have a hard cap on the length of a podcast. 90 minutes is straining it. Beyond that I think you’re just a bad at editing or interviews
Tomorrow I am proud to walk alongside my union siblings in @afscme3299, and I encourage all my @UPTECWA family to do the same.
Come before your work shifts and lunch breaks and return the solidarity our coworkers have shown us!
TOMORROW, WE STRIKE!
When we show up together, we win together. This is for our families, our patients, and for the future we deserve!
Members and allies, bring your energy, see you on the line!

@brendengallager I don’t watch Tulsa King for prestige, I watch Tulsa King to reassure myself that younger generations will still find me cool if I do crimes
Because it would inevitably have meant in practice supporting & coalescing around the Democratic party, who *are* the popular front.
That's the bottom dollar.
These are the moments the left builds organizations to anticipate, these are the moments we prepare for.
No more talk about being "beyond bandwidth" or "at capacity," we have to leave it all on the field. The role we were meant to play in history is happening *now*.
The moment is extremely dire, but it bear repetition that moments like these are where the left needs to demonstrate real leadership in battling the forces of consolidated capital and the fascist right
@mags_mclaugh My experience is that not having a caucus affiliation makes people more willing to talk to me about their Political Education ideas without thinking I’m going to enforce some political line. Internal organizing and deliberative democracy is great though!
Listening to NPR right now reporting on the NYC mayoral race and they are reporting how the early voting analysis is showing a younger electorate while not mentioning Mamdani once lolololol
This is the UC system’s union for their laboratory workers. There was a big story in the LA Times last late fall about how people were quitting right and left because of the conditions there. Meanwhile, the lab in Davis is the only one that can confirm #H5N1 For the ag sector.
Thank you @BernieSanders for lending your voice to our fight to protect public healthcare, research, and education, and end unfair labor practices at the @UofCalifornia. Our patients, communities, and students can't wait #union#FightOligarchy
UC continues to act with impunity, publicly announcing & implementing a hiring freeze without providing UPTE notice or a chance to bargain effects.
This freeze will only worsen the already dire conditions our patients, students, and research face. RSVP: https://t.co/rYAx5t5g4W
If UC thinks it can get away with bad-faith bargaining, unilateral healthcare hikes, and divide-and-conquer tactics against new UPTE members, think again. #Strike#StrikeReady#Solidarity#UC
Tomorrow I'm proud to be joining 20,000 of my coworkers and colleagues on a statewide ULP strike. There is a staffing crisis in the UC, and if administration is not going to lift a finger it's up to the workers to sound the alarm.
