@andygreensf @CAPeconomy @CAPAction

Dan Mauer: Our real power as a labor union doesn't come from me or someone like me in DC, it comes from our membership. #1u #UnionStrong @CWAUnion
Propane Jane: In every photo from the summit, Trump looks miserable. He's like the bully at summer camp who doesn't understand why everyone hates him. His reputation precedes him in these situations.
