It's also noteworthy that he claims this on his website and on social media, but *doesn't* cite it in his bio for any publications or really anywhere else, as if he's fully aware he can't credibly back up the claims and doing so in a professional capacity would be bad!
I know Matt likes to habitually claim victimhood, but it literally is incredibly easy to not publicly lie about your work experience.
Exactly. For example, a lot of things in Pennsylvania professional school employee contracts aren't necessarily reduced to writing (like sick leave) because they exist in school code and the contract has a statutory savings clause.
Matt Bruenig should probably stop claiming on his website that he worked for SEIU and the Machinists after getting a law degree given that they were summer internships before he finished law school.
Oh, I see. You weirdly leave out the part where these were summer law internships/fellowships before you'd ever finished law school.
Weird how you credential yourself by claiming you worked for these unions. Do they typically let summer law interns access internal contract databases?
The reason I ask is because every union employee and contractor appears in union LM filings, unless they’re paid as an independent contractor through an LLC. And your name doesn’t show up anywhere. 🤷
When did you do that and in what roles?
like how is this still a thing
aren’t we past playing lynyrd skynyrd in public spaces
There's also no guarantee whatsoever that any of the language in the database is *good* language, so it just may propagate bad contract standards!
Saying it's "a common issue labor unions and labor attorneys have" to justify it as some sort of public-minded resource is just flatly not true.
I'd also note that virtually every union has internal databases of contract language and model language guides available to anyone negotiating a contract, which Matt would know if he actually had union experience.
worst song imaginable just dropped, not clickbait

Seems remarkable to think that’d make the slightest difference to them.
This is terrible and unsurprising, but I'm sincerely confused about the framing that the Trump White House would in any way see any of it as a problem or a reason to regret an endorsement.
thanks I hate it
what absolutely insane fresh hell is this
i can't wait to get rid of this sociopath
like the fact that Trump is obsessed with this proves again that his taste is literally a scrooge mcduckian self-parody of “rich people”
one of the funniest parts about this is that the shoes are profoundly mid
hmm
“Multiple US and state law enforcement and intel officials told @CBSNews there is no credible intelligence underpinning the bulletin distributed on the unverified possibility that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast.”
The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.
Always remember that Jacob Frey is a bad human and a worse mayor.
Meatpacking plant workers in Colorado are set to strike on Monday in what would be the first and largest labor action to hit the industry in decades

Every year the news slouches closer to an all clickbait model, where every article is called “this will make you mad”
i can't justify or measure this in terms of political value, but it should be profoundly, viscerally, and personally uncomfortable to be a fascist bureaucrat
if this hasn't been done i honestly have no idea why.
it may have uncertain reward, but we're not talking a massive spend in the scheme of things, and you can't underrate the value of making it so these idiots think someone's cough in the grocery store was a snort laugh at them
honestly maybe someone is doing this already but it seems like an underrated tactic to flood metro DC with digital ads just nakedly ridiculing Trump administration officials solely as a form of psychological warfare
