I kicked off my #NoKings at a labor canvass launch with local AFT leaders from WFNHP & Local 212 plus @aflcio.org Sec-Treasurer Fred Redmond & WI AFL-CIO prez Stephanie Bloomingdale. It's incredible to see so many of our union siblings take action to turn out the vote in huge numbers these midterms.

I wish for a strong statement from the Union to the Vice President of the State Parliament Tillschneider in Saxony-Anhalt these days. Or an exclusion procedure for CDU party member Ulrich Vosgerau. It would establish so much credibility. (translated)
Zara Riffler asked whether there is growing concern within the Union that, due to majorities of Red-Red-Green, they would soon no longer belong to the supposed "firewall."

Waldemar Hartmann wrote that NRW Minister Nathanael Liminski recommends that The Left politically cleanse its own ranks. He noted that Liminski is speaking to taz, but not to NIUS. Hartmann asked whether The Left wants to present itself as a potential coalition partner of the Union, and disparagingly labeled the party with a historical accusation. In Schleswig-Holstein, in his view, Liminski's recommendation was received with satisfaction: Prien and Günther celebrated the successes of their "full swing to the left," he wrote. #Politik #NRW #DieLinke (translated)
NIUS linked an analysis by shlomosapiens, which attributed the decline of the Union and the destruction of the CDU to the so-called fire wall. https://t.co/cRMFZoIMqV https://t.co/Fwuq7di9EW #CDU #Politik #Analyse (translated)
