A recent email to EPA employees discouraging union activity on personal time raises ethics concerns and could "have a pretty serious chilling effect on their willingness to engage with their union at all," according to @sharblock. More from @WGBH ⬇️

"Maybe people will be mad that another worker is making $5 more than them. Don’t begrudge them that. We should all be [asking] why someone else is making millions in a stock buyback. It all comes down to divide and conquer.” - Ken Casey @Harvard_Law

I have spent most of my life making government work for people. But the institutions I love have been losing faith with the public for a long time. If we love government, then when we rebuild it we’ll have to be willing to break some glass to make it deliver like FDR did.

Trump showed how easily the old guardrails of government could be shattered for the benefit of the few.
@ewwilkins & Hannah Garden-Monheit remind us: those same rules can be rewritten to serve the many. thehill.com/opinion/white-ho…

Adding my congrats to @chrissylynch29 of @massaflcio on leading this important effort. She will be a forceful voice for workers on the future of AI. Figuring out the future of AI should happen WITH workers not TO workers.
15 Jul 2025
Congrats to @Massaflcio's @chrissylynch29 and @CaliforniaLabor's @LorenaSGonzalez for leading our State Federation AI Task Force!
This dream team is showing the country what a worker-centered AI agenda looks like in our states and standing up to Big Tech's attacks on workers.

Democratically deploying AI means letting labor lead. "Reimagining the purpose and function of science and innovation policy will be a core component of asserting our bigger vision of democracy..." More from @sharblock @michelleimiller & @rooseveltinst: rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/…
16 Jul 2025
Public sector jobs have long been a source of security, especially for women of color.
But rushed AI deployment could harm both workers & the people they serve.
The public sector should not be a testing ground for tools that haven’t been proven to help. rooseveltinstitute.org/publi…

"One thing I think about a lot is getting the idea of the importance of the labor movement into the bloodstream of popular culture, and [making it] something that people actually think about and talk about." @sharblock with Ken Casey and Matt Whyte

I'm David Seligman.
I’m running for CO Attorney General.
This campaign is about reclaiming our power from the billionaires who have stolen it from us, from working families. We will fight. And we will win. Because we love our country the promise it made: The law belongs to us.
