Earlier this month we released the State of Working Wisconsin 2025.
Alongside the report, Laura Dresser reflects in the Isthmus on this year’s deep disruption for workers in Wisconsin.

Important to remember that Trump isn’t trying to heal or keep the peace. He is looking to inflame and divide. His movement doesn’t believe in democracy or protest - and if they get a chance to end the rule of law they will take it. None of this is on the level.

“The reason your Congressman isn’t here, the reason he is hiding, is because he doesn’t believe he represents you. He thinks the only people who matter are those in the billionaire class.”

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Top of mind for LERA after the Mar. 14 presidential action is how important of the FMCS is to business owners and workers alike. It is low investment, high return for the economy. See our statement at LERAweb.org/fmcs-support

When I cast my vote, I’m representing the nearly 8 million people in Washington state.
In this democracy their voices count for something—so you better believe I am not handing over my vote in exchange for nothing.
I am voting NO on the House Republicans' slush fund CR.

A leader. Thank you, @SenatorLBR.

I will vote NO on the Republican spending bill tomorrow. I want to tell you why. It’s important.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.
ALT @elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62.
Time to rebuild the left.
We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.
1/ Some early thoughts:

10/ Those are hard things for the left.
A firm break with neoliberalism.
Listen to poor and rural people, men in crisis. Don't decide for them.
Pick fights. Embrace populism.
Build a big tent. Be less judgmental.
But we are beyond small fixes.

Join @NewAmerica on Tuesday, October 29th for an interesting discussion on why worker rights have made their way into the WIOA reauthorization process—and why they should remain there.

Frontline workers need more protection from wage theft and safety violations. Please join us next Tuesday for a lively discussion of why and how #WIOA can support #workersrights enforcement. @NewAmericaEd @rooseveltinst @rocunited @DrAliBustamante
