As fire season ramps up, do not forget to prepare your 'Go Bag.'
As Chief Ruiz-Temple said, that bag should have medicines, food, and water for yourself, your children, and pets.
It is important to pack it with a clear, calm mind — & don't forget your important documents & family memorabilia!

@steelworkers.bsky.social International VP Roxanne Brown: “Every worker should be able to go home at the end of the day safe and healthy. That’s not a privilege, that’s a right! Because of these rollbacks, millions of workers are less safe on the job.”
Randy Fine is a disgrace to this institution & his words are vile.
A censure is the bare minimum for his attacks on @repilhan.bsky.social & his repeated Islamophobic comments & behavior.
Anything less & Speaker Johnson is complicit, which at this point is what I’ve come to expect.

Today marks the day that Black women across the country must work into the current year to earn what white men earned last year. That’s an extra 6+ months.
On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day and every day, the labor movement commits to ending the wage gap across the country.

Today, unions are more important than ever as they fight back against this all out assault on working people.
Life is just #BetterInAUnion!
#OneJobShouldBeEnough #UniteHERE

Happy 21st anniversary to my former union, @unitehere.org!
In the 80s, I worked my way through college as a waitress represented by @local26-unitehere.bsky.social, with full health care & other benefits that were bargained for by my union.

Billionaires have more than enough money. They didn’t need another tax break at the expense of working people’s jobs, health care and SNAP food assistance.

DOGE firing and pushing out hundreds of thousands of federal workers is having devastating consequences for the essential government services we all rely on.
In Ireland, the Potato Famine is known as The Great Hunger because it wasn't just a famine, the British chose to divert food away from the starving Irish people.
In Gaza, the starvation of Palestinians isn't just a byproduct of war - it is a policy choice. A choice America must not be complicit in.
This WEDNESDAY, July 9th, I will be hosting Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple for a live webinar on personal safety and preparedness this wildfire season!

Here are some helpful safety tips from our friends at the IAFF. ⬇️
I proudly vote no.
This fight is not over. I will not stop fighting until we ensure that no working person in this country dies or goes hungry to subsidize the lives of the wealthiest Americans.

'No tax on tips' is just a Republican talking point — here's why.
(with @repvalhoyle.bsky.social)
We're still here.
As Leader Jeffries said, leadership requires conviction & compassion & what we’ve seen is chaos, cruelty & corruption.
I will not stop fighting until we ensure that no working person in this country dies or goes hungry to subsidize the lives of the wealthiest Americans.

My latest: Gov. @tinakotek.bsky.social, @repvalhoyle.bsky.social and other Oregon lawmakers warn of cuts to Medicaid, SNAP if Trump-backed bill passes lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/govern...
While we rightfully focus on Medicaid & SNAP cuts, this bill also gives Homeland Security & ICE over $160 BILLION.
For context: that's a larger budget than every single MILITARY in the world, except for the U.S.'s & China's.
All as they keep violating due process & refuse to answer to the people.

Oregon’s Congressional Democrats are here to fight the Big Bad Ugly Bill that Republicans are trying to push through in a rush to appease Donald Trump.
