Someone told me this Union Prez got some serious time at the top.

Forget the ALF, I’m gonna run for President of the United States 😂

Solidarity, my sister!

The Tongan way is to apologize, always. For anything and everything. I was never meant to be a President and never intended to be one, but I have so many people who think I fit the role. One brother recited a poem to me, and I let the emotions take over as he did. It helped me push on ❤️

I was inside Dallas City Hall this AM. I looked out the glass windows and the visuals of what May Day is going to look like from outside is exciting.

The buildup for May Day in NTx is very much a thing. Be outside with us! ✊🏾

I’m watching food videos of Chicago because when I’m in town for Labor Notes in June, I’ll have a plan to make a food tour too!

I was invited to speak on a @maydaystrong call with workers. It wasn’t until I saw the speaker line up was when I saw the heavy hitters I’ll be preaching solidarity alongside with on the call!

They got me on last, which means I’m ending the call before we collectively shut it down for the workers!

No matter how long it takes until it’s official, when the workers are willing to fight for you when it happens, is all the solidarity I need to keep going ✊🏾💯

Contemplating whether I even log into a staff meeting that has no staff. There’s like 2 people left on the call I even want to hear from.

Pete Hegseth has issued a memo directing the Pentagon to terminate the union contracts of 300,000 workers in the Department of Defense.

This illegal move will undoubtedly be challenged in court.

The retirees called this morning to tell me they want to present Senator Ted Cruz with a certificate, and if I say so myself, this certificate is well-deserved!

Cruz has a 0 percent score when it comes to retiree legislation. Proud to have the retirees join us in the streets of Dallas on May Day!

Airport workers fighting like hell to organize a union at DFW airport called and asked if I can make time to speak to their organizers. The call was made yesterday, I showed up to where the workers are today 😉

Proud to bring @seiutx into the fold as they join us on the streets of Dallas on May Day!

🚨END THE WARS, STOP ICE - MAY 1ST🚨

This International Workers Day, join the call for no work, no school, no shopping! While the working class is being suffocated by rising prices, the billionaire class is only getting richer off of our suffering and the suffering of working people abroad.

Been touring different union meetings, meeting the workers where they’re at, and sharing with them my vision for organizing workers to stand up and fight back. As a rank & file unionist myself, I find it very necessary that I share space with the people I advocate for.

Big things coming NTx! ✊🏾

When I addressed a packed house of @uaw.org 276 members today, I reminisced about the 1st time I joined a picket line. For the 40 days Local 276 was out on strike, I was on the line for 36, and telling them their collective job action in 2019 was my baptism through the fire was well worth it ✊🏾

It’s good to have union hall space readily accessible for banner designing. Thanks to all those from @dfwmayday coalition who visited the house of labor to design cool stuff for May Day! ✊🏾🪧

Things are more clear now. In a little over 2 hours of phone time, I built a slate. Who wouldn’t want to run alongside the labor movement’s resident Hellraiser?

Buckle up NTx labor! ✊🏾🔥

All it took was for me to pick up the phone and make a 5 min call to shape the future of a certain area labor federation.

Advice to the wise: Better to be on my side than not 💯

Israel Hayom, the largest daily newspaper in Israel which is also owned by the Adelson family, is upset that the failure in Iran will “make it harder for Israel to enlist Washington again” in future wars.

Grateful for the opportunity to address National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 132 in their monthly Union meeting.

My speech to the workers was about the contract fight and my plans to amplify their message on the streets of Dallas on May Day. Their contract fight is our collective fight!

I told my coworkers that I’ll be having these same conversations about May Day at worksites and union halls. I’ll be passing these union-printed flyers out so the workers I speak to know what’s coming! ✊🏾 #Workflow #Graveyards

It’s my Monday and the start of the first full work week. Today during our midnight pre-shift meeting, I talked about the importance of union workers researching May Day and that regardless of how we vote, nobody can escape the deteriorating material conditions American workers now endure.

Thank you! It belonged to my dad before it passed on to me ❤️

An electrical union brother reached out last year asking if I’d be Godfather to his children. More special, they are Hawaiian, making us all Pasifika children. I didn’t hesitate, I replied Yes.

Last night at Easter mass, my Hawaiian Godchildren received the light and their sacraments 🙏🏽

I got a lot going my way this week. From prepping to become Godfather to my union brother’s kids, to a livestream conversation with letter carriers about May Day.

Watch till the end to hear an official announcement about my future as President of an area labor federation 😉

I loved him so! Such a kind soul. His Mother was incredible too. She would collect bottles & things to sell to pay poll taxes for others in S. Dallas.
He will be missed.
Rest in Power my Brother!
