Public opinion is swinging strongly against Musk's wrecking ball operation
The latest WaPo poll shows that only 37% of Americans think it should be easier to fire longtime federal workers
We must ALL do our part.
Elected leaders need to do everything in our power to stop the Musk-Trump agenda.
And, the PEOPLE can still march, rally, and vote out those who try to sell off our government for parts.

After four years of supporting each other during periods of change, and engaging in long periods of negotiation with Management, our union is getting closer to finishing our first contract...

Just one of us would be too many, but several Law Lab staffers are struggling to make ends meet.
As the cost of living continues to rise, we need a contract that guarantees a living wage baseline for staff.
Law Lab is effective because...
Today, 400+ graduate workers demanded that UMD admin recognize our union. The only thing standing in the way of a fair contract is admin’s blatant refusal to bargain with us. We marched to their offices to show them: GLU won’t back down. THIS is what a union looks like 📢‼️
Hey @TheActionNet , did you know your “only progressives” platform is being used to promote HR9495, a bill that would allow Trump to unaccountably strip 501c3s of their nonprofit status?
You must vote NO to HR9495. Giving 1 person, the Treasury Secretary, unilateral power *without proof* to deem a non-profit group a terrorist group AND take their tax status away is an insane & reckless abuse of power. VOTE NO and protect American/KY jobs.
I’m a Kentuckian who has built her career in nonprofits. I’ve worked only in nonprofits. I’m driven and I have the freedom to work for what I believe in. HR 9495 would target me + millions of workers who are working for the good of our world. Do you really want that??
.@brettguthrie voted Yes to HR 9495, which would allow nonprofit tax status to be revoked based on arbitrary accusations of supporting “terrorism.” This anti-democratic, anti-worker bill to silence important social justice work deserves a “NO” vote from .@brettguthrie if he’s 4KY
