Eric Darnley Small<p>Congress is pushing to slash NLRB whistleblower protections following damaging GitHub leaks that exposed corporate retaliation against workers. The move has labor advocates sounding alarms about eroded worker rights, while tech companies quietly cheer reduced oversight.

Scott Goedert<p><strong>Big Beautiful Bill not so&nbsp;Beautiful</strong></p> Marj feels betrayed by the Donald for sneaking in a state ban on implementing AI regulation into a budgeting bill. It's one of those extremely rare times I somewhat agree with MTG. But is she genuine? Not sure. Mr. Trump has proven time and time again that he doesn't really have a standard policy and kind of just does whatever he wants. He's not consistent, changes his mind all the time, and is proven habitual liar. Why would you be surprised that they snuck something into a bill?

The two go hand in hand. </p><p>Next, we’ll march to the Post Office on Forest Ave to oppose Trump’s threats to privatize it and hear from workers threatened with mass layoffs. Then up past Portland High School and the Portland Public Library in solidarity with educators and students opposed to Trump’s destruction of the Department of Education and his attacks on LGTBQ+ and immigrant students. Finally we’ll march up Congress Street during rush hour to the Portland Museum of Art to support funding for the arts and hold a final community rally starting around 5:00 pm. We’ll have a program of speaking out against Trump’s attack and offering ideas about how to deepen solidarity between all the different parts of our movement for democracy and justice. </p><p>We need your help. Please attend the march if you are able. It’s a big state, so if you can’t get to Portland, please support or organize another action in your town or region hosted by the Maine Education Association and the Maine AFL-CIO or any other community group that steps up to stand up. Strength in solidarity."</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@AIF_Massachusetts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>AIF_Massachusetts</span></a></span> </p><p>Full post:<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@Todd@pineandroses.org/114362039249759162" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kolektiva.social/@Todd@pineand</span><span class="invisible">roses.org/114362039249759162</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MayDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MayDay</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkerRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WorkerRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborUnions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborUnions</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineDSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaineDSA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MayDay2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MayDay2025</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Labor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Organizing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Organizing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MEPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MEPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineResists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaineResists</span></a></p>

Jan Vlug<p>My idea about how <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trade</span></a> agreements should be done by the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a>: All products imported into the EU should adhere to current and *future* EU regulations. EU regulations should enforce <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/workerrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workerrights</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/animalrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animalrights</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> change protection, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> responsibility, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/consumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>consumer</span></a> rights and more.<br>All who adhere to good practices should be welcome to sell without tariffs.<br>Now let the EU work on improving regulations that support public values for the planet and all its inhabitants.</p>
