Nurses saw themselves in Alex Pretti's death. Now they’re demanding justice. Nurses have advocated for better working conditions for years. Pretti’s death elevated the ongoing challenges for a profession that is increasingly in the crosshairs of immigration enforcement.

I’m proud to stand in solidarity with @nationalnurses.bsky.social at University Medical Center New Orleans on strike for a fair first contract.

These nurses are facing a staffing crisis because of UMCNO's refusal to provide fair wages, benefits & working conditions. Enough is enough.

Group of joyful individuals in red shirts labeled 'Nurses for Democracy' celebrating the passing of Prop 50, with 'VICTORY!' text and the California Nurses Association logo at the bottom.

Proposition 50 passes! 🎉 This is an incredible victory to protect democracy and combat Trump’s congressional power grab.

Nurses and other volunteers knocked on 17,000 doors and made almost 400,000 calls urging voters to say #YesOnProp50. THIS is the power of patient advocacy!

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Today, nurses are marching to say: America belongs to working people.

We've seen the damage caused by the Trump administration's cruel and corrupt actions.

With care and compassion, we're here to fight for a country where EVERYONE can live happy, prosperous lives! #NoKingsSF

White House Ends a Regular Reporting Slot for Independent Newswires The move, which affects The Associated Press, Bloomberg News and Reuters, is another effort by the Trump administration to exert more control over the press corps that covers it.

The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would no longer reserve a regular slot in the presidential press pool for three independent newswires that have participated for decades, including The Associated Press.

The last time our 401ks plummeted like this — oh right, in 2020 — and who was president then too?!

Veterans Affairs nurses protest potential staffing cuts by Trump More than 80,000 VA employees could be cut by the Trump administration. Dozens of nurses protested the potential cuts outside the Jesse Brown VA on the Near West Side.

The SF Bay Area showed up yesterday! Hands Off! Medicaid. Social Security. Unions. Immigrants. Gender-Affirming Care. Our Bodies. Our Rights. Our Democracy! #HandsOff

FACT: Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs.

This administration's latest executive order is union busting, pure and simple. Our collective bargaining rights are fundamental to carrying out our critical role as patient advocates.

Nurses stand by our patients. We will not be silenced or abandon our duties to our veterans.

Screenshot of the AFL-CIO's statement condemning the Trump administration's executive order stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government.

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.

We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Judge Blocks Policy That Would Expel Transgender Troops The order allows soldiers to keep serving in the military under rules established by the Biden administration.

Breaking News: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from banning transgender people from serving in the military.

Project 2025 says fire federal workers, so they are.

Project 2025 says abolish the Department of Education, so they are.

Project 2025 says kick moms and babies off Medicaid, so they are.
 
Project 2025 calls for a national abortion ban using the Comstock Act… see where I’m going with this?

Elon Musk and his billionaire friends make up lies about Medicare and Medicaid so they can cut services for working people to pay for tax cuts for rich folks like them.  

We’re letting DOGE know that we won't let them make cuts without a fight.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Working people depend on Medicare and Medicaid. Threatening to make cuts to these essential programs would jeopardize the ability of millions of people to get the health care they need.

Today, we stood up and let Congress know that we won't let this attack go unanswered.

Labor board member returns to work six weeks after Trump fired her Gwynne Wilcox was the first Black woman to chair the National Labor Relations Board

We’re glad to have Gwynne Wilcox back on the @nlrbgov.bsky.social board!

Because of her commitment to fighting for working people and her refusal to stand by after President Trump illegally fired her, the NLRB can now get back to work.

CALL TO ACTION:
Everyone should call their members of Congress (202) 224-3121.

Tell them that cuts to the Social Security Administration are cuts to Social Security.

Tell them that you value your local Social Security field office.

An immigrant doesn't stand between you and a good job. Elon Musk and his billionaire friends do.

There's no mincing words here — gutting Medicaid will kill our patients.

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU.

Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.

All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. 

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

Cuts to Medicaid have one goal: To fund tax breaks for billionaires.

The current administration and some in Congress have zero compassion for our patients who are least able to pay for the high costs of our profit-driven health care system. Nurses are fighting back!

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions. Cutting it to fund tax breaks for the wealthy is cruel and immoral.

Some cuts don’t heal - cuts to Medicaid will kill our patients!
