Pittsburgh is a union town, and we're proud of it. Labor is at the forefront of the fight against authoritarianism, because we know solidarity is stronger than any dictator. To our union workers this Labor Day and every day–I've always got your back ✊🏾

In NYC, employers now must list the salary ranges for open jobs. But a proposed City Council bill would go even further, allowing *current employees* to request the salary range for their position, to see if they're underpaid relative to their coworkers. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS. ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out. Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.

Some might bloom as early as February. Crocuses. Snowdrops. Hellebores (although those aren’t bulbs)
Amie Gillingham (@aimkag.bsky.social) reply parent
We can, sort of. Plant lots of early flowering bulbs. Leave things like Brussels sprouts in the garden over winter because they will bloom and the bees love them!

My two outliers? A young guy who was deeply concerned about factory farming and wanted to know how to find out how candidates stood on that issue. And an upper middle class white man who said “I drive an EV, I have a good job, my house is paid for. What do I have to be worried about?”

Every single person (with 2 exceptions) was horrified to see what is happening to our country. Regardless of gender. Race. Faith. Income. Pittsburgh knows what’s up. People are horrified. Many of them are scared.

It’s worth noting in my work for For Our Future Pennsylvania I knocked on an average of 250 doors a day all over the East End of Pittsburgh. I talked to the richest of the rich, the middle class, the working poor about their biggest political concerns. Fascism. Autocracy. Authoritarianism.
