Wow. Five descendants of Frederick Douglass read excerpts of his famous speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”

It’s all about community.
This bill will remove healthcare for 17M people, slash food assistance for 22M, shutter hundreds of hospitals, defund higher education, cut jobs, target immigrant communities and explode the national debt—all for tax breaks to the ultra-rich. www.aft.org/press-releas...
AFT members have sounded the alarm for months: the Big Ugly Bill’s cuts will devastate our communities. As @ky120unitedaft.bsky.social’s Dennis Wheatley put it: “Cutting funding... doesn’t save money. It creates bigger problems.” aftvoices.org/schools-urge...
Our members are volunteering for @kftc-1981.bsky.social (Kentuckians For The Commonwealth) at Pride today. We are joining our allies and advocating for rights for all Kentuckians, sharing resources, having conversations, and registering voters. We care. We show up. We fight. We vote.

Screenshot of a press release from AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond: "The nearly 15 million working people of the AFL-CIO and our affiliated unions demand the immediate release of California Federation of Labor Unions Vice President and SEIU California and SEIU-USWW President David Huerta. As the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda has unnecessarily targeted our hard-working immigrant brothers and sisters, David was exercising his constitutional rights and conducting legal observation of ICE activity in his community. He was doing what he has always done, and what we do in unions: putting solidarity into practice and defending our fellow workers. In response, ICE agents violently arrested him, physically injuring David in the process, and are continuing to detain him—a violation of David’s civil liberties and the freedoms this country holds dear. The labor movement stands with David and we will continue to demand justice for our union brother until he is released."
