Rage Against The Machine won our first grammy for “Tire Me”, a song on which I played a guitar costing 40 Canadian dollars. Though admittedly I’ve never really considered myself a “serious” musician!

"These union wins have helped raise wages and demonstrate once again that the middle-class built America and that unions are still building and expanding the middle class for all workers." -@POTUS Biden
“C” is for contract! And the workers at @SesameWorkshop deserve one that’s good enough for them!
Yesterday's anti-union statement by 6 governors (AL GA MS SC TN TX) clearly shows how scared they are that workers organizing with @UAW to improve jobs and wages will upend the highly unequal, failed anti-worker economic development model of Southern states.

Excuse me but how is Louis DeJoy still postmaster general? His destructive 10-year plan for the Post Office—slowing mail delivery, hiking prices for consumers, and speeding up privatization—is in full effect. Hello?
Today in 1889, A. Philip Randolph was born. Randolph is one of the great labor organizers in American history, particularly for getting the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to win a monumental contract at the Pullman Company. Live or die, we have to stick with it and win!
Now do corporate. Whether the cuts paid for themselves. The wage growth he said would happen after the cuts, but didn’t. The greater disparity in incomes when hardly any of the corporate tax cuts went to workers. When combined with zero interest rates he demanded, what path…

@purplebuckeye Say whatever else you want about Jesse Ventura, but he had a great line about Minnesota’s refusal to return that Confederate flag back to Virginia (yes, the VA legislature at the time was still complaining about it): “We took it, that makes it our heritage.”
The 1st Minnesota suffered an 82% casualty rate at Gettysburg in FIVE MINUTES capturing that flag, the highest of any single regiment in the entire war, while saving the entire Union line, and quite possibly the Union itself, and that is not hyperbole. That is still the highest…

Star Trek has always been political. On The Lieutenant, Gene Roddenberry's series before Trek, scripts on racial bigotry and the inhumanity of warfare met network censorship. GR designed ST to use s-f allegory to tell stories that wouldn't otherwise be allowed on network TV.

While public sector unions have held up their end of the bargain, the state has not. Republican legislatures have gutted Chapter 20, limiting what must be negotiated and adding onerous requirements. It's time for Iowa to make good on its promise and to fully restore Chapter 20.
1/ In the 70s an agreement was reached in Iowa between public sector workers and the state. Chapter 20 restricted the right of public sector workers to strike while guaranteeing the state had to enter into good faith contract negotiations with public sector unions.

Ulysses Grant’s birthday. The finest soldier to ever wear US Army blue. Captured three armies - Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, Appomattox. Destroyed slavery, “the cause and pretext for the rebellion.” Saved the United States and democracy. Huzzah! #Grant
Today was Ellis's first birthday! Lots of friends and family came to celebrate! (Yes, its technically my birthday too, but I'm happy to defer to this little cutie)
Eddie Andrews shouldn't have any say in your reproductive healthcare decisions.
If elected, two of my top priorities are repealing the AEA bill and repealing the school voucher bill.
White men are famously unsafe on ISU’s campus. If only they had some space they could go to that would make them feel more welcome.
@garonsen So it’s offensive to say young white men should feel safe where they go to school. Noted
🧵 So…my staff put together a little something to really show off what happens to me during the legislative session, what they lovingly call “session brain.” Never-before-seen footage coming to you live! 🎬🎬
@krassenstein As a veteran who handled classified docs, I'd like to explain why there is a process to declassifying information. Information, not documents, are classified. If a document contains classified information, it is marked classified. There are a couple of reasons this…
“We banned those captive anti-union meetings. If you do those in Minnesota, you go to jail” - @GovTimWalz
My road to the legislature started as a volunteer in @DMschools classrooms & I'm honored to fight for public education every day. Your kind words mean so much, @steveschappaugh. Your leadership of @DMRoosevelt & lifelong commitment to ensuring all kids get a chance is inspiring
Personally, I gotta point out @KonfrstForHouse doesn’t just say she values public education. She shows up for us in and out of session. I’ll always publicly support her because of her actions aligning with her words. Thankful for her today and every day.
Solidarity!!!
The IBEW let us use their union hall for our organizing committee. And I love this video with the IBEW flag behind me, as I got my start in the IBEW as an apprentice, 35 years ago!! Union Solidarity!!
Remember, private schools can deny admission or kick kids out for any reason. Including if they think they "feel" like a family is good enough for them. Choice is a lie. Vouchers are a scam.
