The world is scary rn. Grateful to be able to keep it magical for my kiddo for the time being. The model train open house was a big hit.

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran.

Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period.

This came up at labor council last night.

The saying used to be, “don’t pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel.” Today’s question in our ever more isolated society is “can we win against elites who own social media platforms?”

I feel there is a compounding interest joke to be had here.

There were several images like this, just the hat. Symbolizing the stolen child. The mournful eyes of the puppy hat creature already look like they are welling with tears. Incredibly powerful.

January 6 police dismiss Trump’s newfound zeal to tackle violence in DC Officers who were attacked by the pro-Trump mob in 2021 are unimpressed by the crime crackdown: ‘Whenever he says he’s all for law and order, I have a bridge to sell you’

What trump is doing is nothing about law and order. It IS about making a case to protect his next unlawful and unconstitutional election. That’s what authoritarians do.

Why Delta Air Lines Workers Are Fighting for a Union - Workday Magazine Workers are ramping up organizing efforts at the most profitable airline company on the planet.

If only their staff had a great union contract… workdaymagazine.org/why-delta-ai...

Loved the ministry of time.

I always drink more water at my office. Even when the AC is limping along the air is so dry compared to my house that I drink more water

every boss filing for a picket injunction is whining that the union is making it too hard to get their scabs across the line and should be treated accordingly

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

U.S. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie holds roundtable with gig workers as changes are weighed The emergence of the gig economy has altered the American workforce and created questions about what benefits and protections independent contractors should have under federal law. U.S. Rep. Ryan Mack...

A reminder that not only did Ryan Mackenzie vote to cut Medicaid and Medicare for all Americans, but one of his pet projects is to make it easier for employers to classify workers as independent contractors

So those workers don't get benefits

He's way too radical for the Lehigh Valley #pa07

Get an AI clause in your contract.
