The House budget would slash, Medicaid, SNAP, & child care from millions, to give billionaires massive tax breaks. @RepCiscomani, you committed to opposing these cuts. Pls VOTE NO on the reconciliation bill. #FamiliesOverBillionaires #MomsForMedicaid.

Kudos to @AZRegents & ASU @michaelcrow for standing up for science by being party 2 a lawsuit against NSF 4 its dramatic reduction of indirect cost recovery reimbursement rates. Research is central to our univs & the wellbeing of those we serve.

👇.Brilliant. When univs deny, deflect, & delay good faith negotiations, they are following a Trumpian managerial approach. Kudos to @WOAWUAW for naming it. @HigherEdLabor @ProfTWolf @brandon.

👇Truth. As the country's wealthiest law firms, newspapers, & univs/colleges capitulate, real leadership comes from organized labor. @ruaaup @UAW @AFTunion @HigherEdLabor @ProfTWolf @SEIU500.
When our institutions fail, labor steps up to fill the breach. @HigherEdLabor @AAUP @ruaaup @UAW @AFTunion .

👇Kudos to @WOAWUAW for what they have put on the table. Child care benefit. Wellesley's management, of a women's college said no to child care. Workers can imagine & are bargaining a better Wellesley. @UAW @HigherEdLabor Management's recalcitrance is driving this strike.
Wellesley admin asked @WOAWUAW to end the strike and focus on bargaining. The fact is that the union has been ready to bargain every single day at any time and it’s been the College that has refused to meet beyond two hours this week. Wellesley can make this right tomorrow!.

👇Truth. As I indicated to @adriennelu of the Chronicle, this morning, Wellesley seems to be digging in. IF they cared abt their students they wld negotiate in good faith to improve faculty's working conditions, which r students' learning conditions. @WOAWUAW @HigherEdLabor.

👇Truth. All organizing is about respect. It's about roses, not just bread. Respect your workers, Wellesley. @WOAWUAW @HigherEdLabor IF Wellesley actually cares about their students, management will bargain in good faith for a good contract.
UAW President Shawn Fain joined non-tenure track faculty on the Wellesley Organized Academic Workers picket line at Wellesley College in MA. “The fight is the same," Fain said. "It may be a different business, but it’s about having dignity on the job.”.

👇Students standing w/ faculty, b/c faculty working conditions are students' learning conditions. @WOAWUAW Smart coalitional work by academic workers at a wealthy women's college that refuses a union proposal to provide some child care benefit to employees. 💪 @HigherEdLabor.
"As Wellesley College’s non-tenure track faculty strike entered its fifth day Monday, students and faculty gathered near the town’s Central Street, holding signs in support of @WOAWUAW.". @UAWRegion9A.

👇.HaHaHa. Save your platitudes about supporting essential govt services. Your admin has launched a war against medicare, social security, special ed, the VA, the FAA, & much more, & you voted for a budget that slashes essential services. All for tax cuts for the rich.

👇.Just 🛑 @RepCiscomani You know that over 85% of fentanyl coming into the U.S. is trafficked by U.S. citizens at legal ports of entry. This admin is failing to address this problem in a smart way. It & you seem to prefer photo ops & chest beating. @SenRubenGallego @kenmart.
🚨 . @RepCiscomani @JuanCiscomani warns the cartel threat is growing, and border agents caution: “It’s going to get worse before it gets better.” . Is the U.S. ready?

👇.Exactly. Trump has tanked the stock market, contributed to soaring prices, destroyed consumer confidence, & caused increased unemployment. So, he does an ad on the White House lawn for the richest man in the world. Rigged for the rich. And the swamp on steroids. @kenmar.
Groceries prices are still soaring the stock market is in shambles but don’t worry Elon sold a Tesla and Trump got a crappy new EV.

👇.Thank you @SenMarkKelly for standing for freedom & against tyranny, abroad & at home. @kenmartin73.
Traitor?. Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

👇 Hey @RepCiscomani Keep your hands off our social security. We see what you are enabling. .
A guy who makes $8 million a day off the government thinks seniors getting $65 a day they worked their whole lives to earn is a “ponzi scheme.”. Protect Social Security. Fire Elon Musk.

👇 .In case you missed this, @RepCiscomani .Billionaires recklessly closing programs & firing federal workers so as to justify massive tax cuts for the rich which will balloon thecdeficit is NOT reducing costs for working prople. Shameful.

👇.Hey @RepCiscomani we are furious with Musk sloppy, reckless, & unlawful assault on our federal programs & workers, many of whom are vets. Cutting Medicaid & Food Stamps to give $ to billionaires & mega corps is outrageous. We see what u r doing.

👇.The same in AI (as w/ DeepSeek). Compromising our univs will compromise our global position. Our intntl preeminence in science & economically r intertwined. Univs are at the core of that, for their local economies & for our global competitiveness. @SandraWatsonAZ @AZRegents.
We are losing our lead in technology, bioscience, and innovation to China (who just had a huge breakthrough in Cancer research). It is no time to retreat. University research is more important now than ever.

👇.I appreciate this. 🙏 @AZRegents @SVGarimella .We need more board members & pres's (& faculty) making the case for public research univs' value & centrality to our communities, state, & country. And we need as much as possible & whatever our differences to speak together.

👇.Truth. Public univs r magnets 4 & centers of ec growth, @SandraWatsonAZ do workforce development in areas of state & natl need (e.g., nurses, docs, STEM workers, teachers), & enrich our cultural life. We r a core of America's strength & beauty. @SVGarimella @AZRegents.
