Glad to see the Target Boycott is trending. We’re urging our members, & our communities to shop local, not Target for Back to School. Target has not supported Minnesota,the place they got their start, so we are shopping elsewhere

Happening now: @bulldogshadow.bsky.social & @rweingarten.bsky.social are speaking about Randi's book Why Fascists Fear Teachers, why she wrote it, and the connection to the labor movement.
“The challenge before us is not choosing sides between two populations living through tragedy... It is resisting the temptation to explain that tragedy through narratives and actions that blame entire peoples.” - @bulldogshadow.bsky.social
I had a great conversation today with @bulldogshadow.bsky.social at the LERA Northwest Chapter conference in Tacoma, WA about my book Why Fascists Fear Teachers and a question that feels especially urgent right now: what’s the connection between union work and democracy?
Every time we sit down at the table and solve problems together, we’re keeping democracy alive. Thank you @bulldogshadow.bsky.social for the wonderful conversation & to LERA for having us.
People have power through education, through a voice in our democracy, and through the economic security that comes with a union contract. - @rweingarten.bsky.social
Hello from Tacoma, WA! @rweingarten.bsky.social is here with @bulldogshadow.bsky.social, @aftwa.bsky.social President Jacqui Cain and @wsna.bsky.social Executive Director David Keepnews for the Labor and Employment Relations Association Conference.

Our union is standing in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and demanding that Target take a stand against ICE. Our members will be shopping elsewhere for back-to-school this year.

I’d rather sit in prison for the rest of my life than surrender a single Jewish name. Any U of Penn employee who wouldn’t do the same should resign their position #HistoryIsWatching

PBS ran a show last night..."White With Fear".
One guy interviewed worked on DT's 2016 campaign said he suggested a fake assassination then. It didn't get pursued.
Eric Ward and Andrew Goldberg spoke to me about their new PBS documentary "White with Fear" that is a brutally honest look at why the "MAGA whites" are getting angrier. They warn MAGA will become even more dangerous and violent as they lose power! youtu.be/K0WOJvH-q_Y?...
Reminder….tonight on PBS…”White With Fear”…….check your tv listing for time…..(you can thank me later)👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This Saturday, join your local No Kings March and Rally. Not because of the “other side”. Not for more fake binary bullshit. But because of us. Because of who we want to be with each other.
It’s time to believe in each other
White with Fear is Tuesday night on PBS.
