Nathan from Michigan

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

He said he would lower grocery prices on day one.

He lied.

He said he would lower your taxes.

He lied.

He said he would only deport criminals.

He lied.

He said he would end wars.

He lied.

He said he would put “America first.”

It was all a big, beautiful lie.

...weirdly I just read this take (albeit using differnt words) from a certain Progressive attorney in Virginia on this site this morning...ao it's not just NY Times Columnists anymore...

The folks trying to score internal political points on other Dems while Iranians are dying need to look to their hearts. The situation is bigger than petty squabbling or ego

It sounds both juvenile and compensatory...

Just a reminder from someone who was in college when Iraq started-the actual war, regardless of how it goes, isn't the entire story, it's the occupation and after effects where things can really get bad.

#rehabprogress I can drive locally and I'm now pretty much living without pain. I know I've been fortunate in the speed of this recovery

And thank you for including me on the lists you havd

Weirdly, save the Steelworkers (and like one UFCW local and AFSCME Council 43), organized labor mostly endorsed other candidates (CWA, AFGE, IBEW, IAM, PASNAP, Building &Traded, and the Pittsbugh AFT-Lamb, SEIU, Statewide AFT, and AFSCME district council 33-Kenyatta)

Gov. Mills again vetoes bill protecting farmworkers’ right to discuss work conditions • Maine Morning Star Farmworkers in Maine may have gained the right to state minimum wage this legislative session, but they still won’t be protected from retaliation for talking about work conditions. Late last week, Gov...

I'm pretty sure it's due to labor not fogiving Mills over this (link below). Having said that, it's no excuse to back a guy with as many red flags as Platner.

This is entirely payback over Mills vetoing some things they were advocating for. If it wasn't defacto backing Platner I'd even be forgiving of it, but it's still petty payback

Score settling (Mills vetoed at least one big pro labor bill as Gov) is probably the most unlikable part of anything political...especially when it's defacto backing someone with who reposts antisemites and had a nazi tatoo.

Why I'm friends from everyone from DSA left to true centrists-above all, I'm about doing the work to help others. If you aren there helping others, I will also be there. You could call it the "pro-doing the work" wing ofnthe party

Jfc, I never liked her but this is making itna triple decker shit sandwich

UAW members at Volkswagen Chattanooga made history last week, ratifying a first-ever contract by an incredible 96%!

This is a breakthrough victory for Southern autoworkers and for working people everywhere.

Part of the problem is, unlike Europe, we can't just boot problematic party members. Like, Senatorial and House Dems introducing bills to protect rights and Kelly vetoing the Kansas law (and, per a newspaper, every state leg Dem voting against) enda up outweighed because 1 guy opens his mouth.

Okay, not stepping in the current Bluesky fight but...who the fuck wants Gavin Newsom as the nominee? Centrists think he's a used carsalesman who'd be a disaster in the general, unions are luke warm (at best), and progressives hate him sue to statements about trans people...so who wants him?

I do wonder if this mindset existed before GWB, because GWB used 9/11 to, for a brief time, remake American Society (like, there were actual amendments on the Bill of Rights that got defacto suspended albeit temporarily). I wonder if people look at that time and say...they got almost everything...

Between rehabbing the shoulder, keeping the Democratic Club going, dealjng with the ICE facility opening in the city next to mine, and preparing for the MDP convention I apparently didn't see it in my feed

Hold up...what's this about Mamdani?

...and, regardless of best his first movie that *anyone* remembers (Mean Streets) wasn't even released until he was 31, anything else notable he did was into his 30, 40, 50s, etc.

Near as I can tell, Wallace Stevens wasn't published until he was 44

Thank you, I never actually read them, but given how it got pitched to me, I figured they were corp world stuff...and agreed

Hold up, not an artist, but as someone in the business world, I always thought 30 under 30 was some kind of business thing. I never realized it existed in creative industries too. And yeah, it's a marketing/networking thing

Yes, and they were written from between when he was 45 and 57

Of course, there's criming going down and she wants in...

Paul Simon and Chevy Chase from the music video

Shawn Fain (Pres of the UAW), at the the height of his support and with much more credibility than Kat, still had the best he could do was try to coordinate with other unions to try to trigger a mass strike (this isn't inside information, various places talked about this).

I now have two different US Labor starter packs, one full and one almost full gor anyone looking for a broad list of unions, people in unions, academics related to labor, and associated productions and related entities. Feel free to click my section or, if need be, I can repost both of them.
