50 years of union & community organizing (SEIU, WA Education Assn, housing, local elections) for equality, democracy, shared prosperity, and the American Dream!

This weekend, think about the 400,000 men & boys in the Union Army who gave their lives to defeat the slavers & their Confederacy. And about the GOP SCOTUS that demolished the Voting Rights Act & Trump's plan to pay the Confederate traitors who tried to overthrow our democracy on Jan 6.
On Memorial Day, I'll be thinking about the 400,000 men & boys in the Union Army gave their lives to defeat the slaver's Confederacy. And I'll be thinking about the GOP's demolition of the Voting Rights Act & Trump's efforts to pay $ millions to the Confederates who tried to murder Congress.
This chart on Black Representation in the US House since 1868 (click for full view) shows the impact of the Voting Rights Act (1965) and a future restoration of Jim Crow. SCOTUS decided that racial gerrymandering is ok if for the partisan interests of Legislatures. substackcdn.com/image/fetch/...

Starbucks workers will begin an open-ended unfair labor practices strike on November 12 unless the second largest fast food company reaches an agreement with them! actionnetwork.org/user_files/u...
The Three Stooges here are not funny. They're pathetic, stupid and vile people who are likely unemployable in any capacity other than inflicting violence on other human beings. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-...
"THANK YOU!" The largest gathering of Antifa in the United States (Arlington Cemetery) thanks all who participated in No Kings Day---and urges participation in the next Big Day: Vote by Tuesday Nov 4. www.google.com/imgres?imgur...
Our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who fought the Nazis in Europe would probably not advise us to "Be nice to Nazis."
"Your papers, please?" was a common refrain by the Nazis when they occupied most of Europe. We will not let this happen here. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...
The largest single gathering of Antifa is at Arlington Cemetery. And there are 156 similar national cemeteries in the US filled with Antifa. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...
There are tens of thousands of Antifa at Arlington Cemetery. And hundreds of thousands in other national cemeteries across the nation who gave their lives to defeat fascism. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...
Trump deserves the No Bell Piece Prize. This is an actual photo of a super-sized gold one he covets.
There is a major Antifa cell here at Arlington Cemetery: tens of thousands of Antifa members in full view, who gave their lives fighting fascism.
In Chicago, there are thousands of Antifa here at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, the veterans cemetery just outside of the city.
This is the Willamette National Cemetery, a veterans cemetery 10 miles outside of Portland. If the Republican Party wants to find Antifa around Portland, there are thousands of them here. And they want to know why the GOP has joined the fascists they died fighting against.
Thousands of Antifa would like to know why the Republican Party has repudiated the Constitution and democracy they died for.
Why does the Washington Post repeatedly refer to Charlie Kirk as a “conservative”? He was a right winger—a destroyer of our institutions and civil norms. Does the @washingtonpost.com know the difference? Or are they bending their knee to the GOP?
SEATTLE: This was the final vote count in Seattle's recent PRIMARY for mayor. Progressive Katie Wilson resoundingly defeated business-backed Democrat Bruce Harrell. Wilson has a long list of accomplishments as a community leader making the Seattle area more affordable. It's time for a change.
A huge crowd gathered at the #TESLATAKEDOWN demonstration in front of TESLA showroom in Bellevue, WA on Saturday! We can stop the Trump-Musk-Putin Regime’s demolition of our democracy, Social Security, VA, and federal government!
Trump/Musk are Nazi White Supremacists who are a threat to all Jews, immigrants, people of color, women, and all non-human living beings on our planet.
A majority of Americans don’t trust Musk’s decisions on “which Congressionally approved funds should be rescinded.” And a majority don’t trust Musk “to manage sensitive government data about millions of Americans.” Source: YouGov poll, Feb 2025 in Washington Post
