I look forward to the dam breaking on NC gerrymandering. They will never hold power again.

The point as I understand it is that they're allowing other unions to set their contract expiration to the same date, which increases the potential for pain during their next negotiations and makes for a quasi general strike across all unions who participated. It's a pretty good idea all in all.

Also, it's complicated who Sean Fain aligns with. He's pro-tariff and praised Trump for incentivizing cars to be made in the US, although it seems like that's the extent of it, and I wonder how he feels about it now that it's been fully unmasked to just be market manipulation by Trump's circle of billionaires. Sean's speech still hit most of the socialist talking points of pro labor even though it was to a bunch of Republican donors, leading to the funniest and most revealing awkward silences after sections about how the working class is who provides all of the value in an economy.

I'm dubious that a general strike is possible in the US. All of the other countries that have had massive strikes affecting large chunks of the market were driven by large unions. Our unions don't have that sort of sway and they rarely help others to maximize their diminishing bargaining power with the ongoing degradation of workers rights. Importantly this also happens on the supply side, the consumer side will just buy it tomorrow instead usually. A day of no productivity has much bigger consequences.

That being said, I'll definitely participate.

While judging visual matches for one of the most famous places to take exactly this photo at different times is difficult, it does appear to be Obama's inauguration, not No Kings. As a result this is considered misinfo and will be removed unless it can be proven otherwise in a DM.

Pretty sure it was glass from the teleprompter. Ears have a lot of blood flow, especially when you're on a bunch of uppers. Probably wouldn't leave much more than a tiny scar line that you couldn't see. It also behooves them to not say this because it's less cool and laughter is antithesis of small men insecurity.

Doesn't really matter, the fact that a right wing nut shot at him is still pretty noteworthy for the current climate.

I don't see her gaining prominence in the most misogynistic movement in America. She's also such a bad actor she can't even pretend to care about her husband's death convincingly, "Don't forget to buy the 'my husband was murdered' merch on the way out."

Not just the poors, he's a eugenicist, and I'm pretty sure he'd need a muzzle in the same room as Anthony Fauci.. well more than he does normally.

Plum wine. It is very good though.

Coffee and water. Used to have a banana too, but they self destruct my digestion now.

Brian Thompson and Alex Jones are the only example of rich people falling from grace because of people in a different class that I can think of. Most examples like Elizabeth got clapped because they played class warfare tactics against their own team. Grifting is only allowed against the poor, otherwise it's called securities fraud.

Third option, he manipulates the stock and crypto markets and nobody bats an eye, netting huge sums of wealth.

Isn't it kinda hard for LLMs to be programmed to not just point them towards leftism in that case? Right wing ideology isn't based in established truths, it's based on whatever the individual thinks at a given time subject to radical change. Leftism having consistency that science and academia offer means it is the obvious citation for most political facts if the model was going to choose an angle. Exception perhaps being anticommunism since it's highly established in history books as justification for the Korean and Vietnam wars.
