Pittsburgh CPUSA turned out with our union and immigrant comrades for the May Day March! We marched with our respective unions - USW Local 9562 and East End Co-Op UE 667!

We sang and danced with the Pittsburgh Labor Choir and May Day Marching Band to send the message to the Trump/Musk regime: No fascist USA! Forward together, not one step back!

(Bal-e-Jibril-129) Lenin (Khuda Ke Hazoor Mein) - Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal (R.A)

Tu Qadir-o-Adil Hai Magar Tere Jahan Mein
Hain Talakh Bohat Banda’ay Mazdoor Ke Auqat

Kab Doobe Ga Sarmaya Prasti Ka Safina?
Dunya Hai Teri Muntazir-e-Roz-e-Makafat!

Happy Labor Day to my parents who are both factory mechanics in Japan, especially to my strong mother who is doing a male-dominated job that requires so much physical effort. I'm proud to be their daughter. I chose to be a creative and scientist because I can't handle the physical hardships of blue-collar laborers such as my mom. I love you okasan. 💗 #LaborDay

Thank you to everyone on the streets this May Day. International cooperation is the only thing that can save us 💪

While the world celebrates labor, we honor the kind that rarely gets credit:
The care work, the design thinking, the hands that shape sexual wellness in silence.

From May 1–3, we pause. But the movement doesn’t.
Smart pleasure is political.
And it’s powered by women.

May 1: #LaborDay. A day to honor workers.
But many still face unfair pay, unsafe conditions & job insecurity.
In today’s digital world, #NoInternet = no access to work, learning, or opportunity.
Let’s fight for #DigitalAccess and #WorkersRights.

Feliz día a todos mis contactos de Mastodon que trabajan, que están aprendiendo un oficio, o que han sido trabajadores y por motivos de edad o discapacidad han pasado la batuta.

Les deseo: salud, conciencia de clase, que les paguen lo que corresponde, que no les manden horas extra, y que NO les llamen a trabajar hoy.
