Champion.
MVP.
President.
Our union sister @nnekaogwumike’s impact on WNBA players on AND off the court will be felt for generations to come. As @TheWNBPA President, she fought for everything players deserve - and won.
Thank you for your solidarity. Congrats on your retirement!

Congratulations to the nurses at the Central Maine Medical Center who, in the face of relentless union-busting, stood strong in the fight for better patient care and overwhelmingly voted to form a union with @NationalNurses!
When we fight, we WIN! ✊
Central Maine Nurses in Lewiston filed to form a union to fight for patient safety after the hospital was bought out by for-profit company Prime.
Prime illegally fired 15 nurse leaders in retaliation.
Last night 91% of RNs voted to unionize! When we fight, WE WIN!

Even in the face of @_PrimeHealth's relentless retaliation and intimidation, we stood firm in our fight for better patient care. In Maine, CMMC RNs voted by 91% to join our union — and we're ready to flex our collective power! 💪 nationalnursesunited.org/pre…

Workers are the experts on their jobs. That’s why unions are leading the way on AI, bargaining for a say in how it’s used at work every step of the way.

With proven pro-worker candidates at the helm, our schools and communities could have the support they need to thrive. We need leaders that work with the experts—our families and educators, to help our students receive the education they deserve.

Workin’ 9 to 5 on 9/25! 💕 Kicking off the weekend by celebrating Dolly Parton Day. A #SagAftraMember since 1969, Dolly was an extraordinary recording artist and actor whose career was matched by her generosity, love and compassion. 🩷

If you think Trump’s awful treatment of fed employees is wrong and want to do something, call your US Senators and tell them to support the Protection America’s Workforce Act to restore collective bargaining for about 1 million feds. House passed it. Senate must too. Call today!
Trump’s allies in the Senate just blocked the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act.
The House already voted to undo the worst act of union-busting in US history. Tell your senators: stand up for federal workers and their union rights!

*9 to 5* may have been a comedy, but for so many of us women fighting for respect on the job, it felt all too real. Dolly helped make us laugh at the boss and imagine what we could change together.
Happy 9 to 5 Day! We miss you, Dolly.

Ashley Hinson called the Iran war "out of sight, out of mind" for Iowans.
It's not out of sight at the pump. It's not out of mind for our military families.
She voted SIX times to keep it going!
Ashley Hinson didn't find her conscious on the Iran war. She found a poll!

Health care costs are skyrocketing, millions are losing their health care, SNAP food assistance is getting ripped away because of the big, ugly bill - all so the Trump admin could give billionaires a tax break. nytimes.com/2026/09/23/us/po…
