  4. Some of the Trump administration’s anti-worker moves included

    ♦️rescinding a Biden-era executive order that raised the minimum wage for federal workers,

    ♦️rolling back laws prohibiting workplace discrimination,

    ♦️pulling out of an international agreement that would have imposed a minimum tax on corporations,

    ♦️and killing dozens of workplace safety rules.

    Trump’s most vicious moves targeted immigrant workers,
    many of whom have been terrorized by the unrelenting barrage of ICE raids throughout their communities and workplaces

    Things may become even more dire in 2026, as many Trump appointees are poised to wield power.

    💥#Wayne #Palmer, a coal industry executive, will serve as the assistant secretary of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

    💥#David #Keeling will head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

    💥Keeling previously oversaw health and safety protocols at Amazon and UPS,
    and the companies collectively racked up over 300 workplace safety citations and $2 million in OSHA fines while he was in charge.

    💥#Andrew #Rogers, a former attorney at the anti-union law firm Littler Mendelson, will serve as the next administrator of the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division.

    🔥Additionally, Trump’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) may soon begin deciding cases.

    💥Upon arriving in the White House, Trump illegally fired board member Gwynne Wilcox, depriving the agency of the necessary quorum of at least three members.

    💥The board also paused all active investigations, including two dozen inquiries into companies owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk.

    💥In July, Trump finally selected two new members:
    #James #Murphy, who has spent many years as counsel to Republican NLRB members,
    💥and #Scott #Mayer, who currently serves as the chief labor counsel for Boeing and formerly worked for the anti-union law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.

    💥In February, NLRB Acting General Counsel #William #Cowen rescinded more than two dozen Biden-era General Counsel memos addressing issues such as the electronic monitoring of workers and the employment status of college athletes.

    🔥If its quorum is reestablished, the board is expected to take these efforts a step further and overturn Biden-era rulings.
    💥These include the ban on “captive audience” meetings, in which employers effectively force workers to sit through anti-union propaganda
    💥and the 2023 Cemex case decision, which determined that, if a majority of workers sign union affiliation cards, employers have to either recognize the union or hold an election within two weeks.

    ❌“There is a very strong likelihood that the #NLRB will achieve quorum in the new year and begin a more aggressive attack on workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain,”
    Margaret Poydock, a senior policy analyst at EPI, told Truthout.

    🆘“President Trump is the largest union buster in U.S. history, and his interference with the independence of the NLRB will result in the further weakening of our nation’s labor laws.”

  6. A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    We two make banquets of the plainest fare;
       In every cup we find the thrill of pleasure;
    We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow of care
    And win to smiles the set lips of despair.
       For us life always moves with lilting measure;
       We two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure.

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
    Poem (1900-05), “We Two,” st. 2, The Century Magazine, Vol. 60, No. 1

  8. Guess what I’ve found - the gift card I lost 😃. On my fridge I have a number of mementos of various things, including a little Perspex picture frame holding a postcard from Cathy Wilcox (yeah that one). I went to straighten up a couple of things on the fridge & behind the postcard I noticed an envelope - it’s my gift card 🤣.
    Ah well, I searched all the bins, all drawers & my place has never been tidier & very clean, plus I got rid of a lot of stuff in the process of looking for it & it was tucked in there the whole time. Happy lady, I can go buy another tree for the garden after this heat wave is over. #LostAndFound

  9. A quotation from Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    Let mine not be the saddest fate of all,
       To live beyond my greater self; to see
       My faculties decaying, as the tree
    Stands stark and helpless while its green leaves fall.
       Let me hear rather the imperious call,
       Which all men dread, in my glad morning time,
    And follow death ere I have reached my prime,
    Or drunk the strengthening cordial of life’s gall.
    The lightning’s stroke or the fierce tempest blast
       Which fells the green tree to the earth to-day
    Is kinder than the calm that lets it last,
       Unhappy witness of its own decay.
       May no man ever look on me and say,
    “She lives, but all her usefulness is past.”

    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919) American author, poet, temperance advocate, spiritualist
    Poem (1882), “Uselessness,” Maurine and Other Poems (1882 ed.)
