From his advocacy work to his commitment to fostering international solidarity, Willie Adams is an example of the best of us. Thank you, Willie, for the work you've done for @ilwulongshore, ILWU 23, and our community. Congratulations on your much deserved retirement.

House Panel Adds Ban on Restoring Confederate Base Names as It Advances Major Defense Bill military.com/daily-news/202…
Whoa. House Armed Services *approved* Marilyn Strickland's amendment to block DOD from contravening the recommendations of the base renaming commission, 29-28. Don Bacon and Derek Schmidt crossed the aisle to help approve it.
.@SecDef Hegseth and @POTUS want to name our military bases after Confederate leaders...WTF. @HASCDemocrats had to shut that down – glad that *almost* everyone agreed that honoring bigotry is wrong, and passed my amendment.
