I can only assume the union is trying to get the voters to launch a referendum on making their union illegal - maybe so they can feel transgressive?

Not picking on this person with a sincere question, but this makes the point for me. These are NOT the “the main accomplishments” of the sewer socialists. These are three more minor things in a much longer piece. So now Barkan’s laziness has misled you on the history.

Again, IT IS OKAY TO SUMMARIZE OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. But that isn't what he did here. He copy-pasted and put in synonyms for the verbs. Had he actually summarized Kaufman's work, he would've mentioned bigger things the sewer socialists did that Kaufman spent much more time on.

Trump doesn't think about regular Americans' economic woes, so what is he focused on? His stock portfolio -- a stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months, in firms entangled in his government like Palantir, Nvidia, and Boeing Let's make this a big deal. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

nothing signals better that someone is not worth listening to / has traded their humanity for real-life GI Joe toys than the use of chud military jargon or acronyms

Just another day in Trump's America. Florida candidate for Senate (self-dubbed "Jan 6 Political Prisoner") displays banner at baseball game -- with white extremist slogans, advertising a white extremist website. Daily reminder: the "white replacement" fantasy is a civic poison.

When a @phillydsa.bsky.social peer asked me yrs ago if I'd ever thought of running for a Dem committee post (likely bc I'm old), I thought he was nuts. Now I'm looking to see who this coalition endorses.

This Day in Labor History: May 17, 1933. Rep. Robert Houghton, a North Carolina Democrat, introduced H.R. 5755 into the House. This would become the National Industrial Recovery Act, the first comprehensive attempt to fix the economy of the Great Depression through national planning!
