A lot of friends and other folks I follow fall for this crap all the time. I fell for it. I though it was awesome that a blue collar union guy was becoming a senator. Didn't know that he failed to hold Democratic values.

I merely responded to your public announcement. You're having a lot of fun using me as your punching bag. Not the way I treat allies, but you do you, asshole.

I used to go to seminars to teach CLEs on how to enforce wage laws. The people who most desperately need legal help rarely get it from the Plaintiffs' bar, which focuses on richer workers with bigger claims. This is economics at work. Wage theft is a series of unorrected market failures.

I'm not going to write my resume here, just point out that you've chosen to attack an ally. A constitutional litigator who fights for the dispossessed. A progressive activist in a deep red state. You obviously place ego above cause.

The internet gave everyone a voice, whether there was a good reason for them to use it or not. This was supposed to be revolutionary. It was not.

Telling people to vote for Newsom on Bluesky in February of 2026 feels like posting on Facebook that they can’t use your likeness or content

bsky.app/profile/nash... We must remain outraged at the inhumanity of this Regime. THIS is our defining moment as a Nation. We choose the legacy we leave for our Children.

Unions are at thei rabsolute best in a crisis. We try to build them in times of calm, so they are available when crisis hits. But strength is rarely built by calm. So we must always build better unions, regardless of the conditions we face.

Jackson was somebody who ALWAYS showed up. I cannot count the number of times I was far from home attending or particpating in one action or another to support the powerless, and Jackson was there, usually the only "celebrity" there.

Also funny that you choose to insult probably the only person responding to you who has litigated Garcetti and pre-Garcetti 1A cases for, I don't know, maybe a dozen school teachers over the last thirty years.

I think maybe I misjudged you as a person of good judgment.

I don't think i'm special because I post. That's you. I just think I said what I thought.

There is no shortage of GOOD 1A cases for teachers. This jackass is not unique and will not be the recipient of my personal outrage, that is saved for people with good hearts.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

You need to read more carefully. Also you need to avoid accusing me of things when you have Zero fucking clue what I do, what I have done, and how I think.

So, with all due respect, go fuck yourself, beefreefer.

Dem leadership amplified that lie. Chuck and Hakeem owe the world a LOT of explanations.

I mean… 🐐

Thank the Democrats who hav evoted to extend ICE's reign of terror in order to engotiate just how much terror will be allowed, rather than shutting the fucking thing down when they had the power to do so.

How many weeks of governmen t terorism of the people of Minnesota do Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer think is appropriate for us all to tolerate?

This is not the way.

Loved "Service Model." I used the task-list metaphor from there to describe the bureaucracy of the large, Federal agency in which my wife works, and she found it simultaneously insightful, funny, and horrifying.

Where has Biden been living? Because America is a nation that has done, and will still do, each and every one of those things. Your statement is merely one of white privilege. Sick of people pretending "we don't do that," even while WE KEEP DOING THAT!

Screenshot of TruthSocial post by President Trump complaining that Mayor Frey won't enforce federal immigration law, and calling it a "very serious violation of the Law."

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

Threats are what you do when you have no power. Impeachment is what you do when you're fucking serious AND have the tools to make something happen. Guess where Hakeem started?

And then not doing shit.

Hakeem Jeffries has made himself an embarrassment. he just engineered the passage fo the DHS funding bill by claiming to be against it, but giuving his caucus tacit approval to pass it. Now he's against it again? Fuck Jeffries, he needs to go.

Jeffries is a gross embarrassment to the Democratic Party. His full-time commitment to the day's polling results demonstrates that neither he nor the party have a conscience, or even a principle they wouldn't jettison.

So the new message is the same as the old message: "empathy would hold us back, so we must abandon our humanity in order to, um, save humanity?"

Yeah, the lesson is that we need to stop electing Dems who suck up to oligarchs and their fascism rather than representing their voters.

Ummmm, living through the Cold War sucked in some really major ways. That was not the flex you think it was.

Actually, the way political punditry and electoral politics works, their hubris will OUR undoing. They'll just move on to ever more lucrative jobs in government, the media, think tanks, law firms, etc.
