her landlord probably wants charge her pet rent for it.

I don’t know what you think you have to apologize for. Everything about this is amazing.

Orthogonal usually means, unrelated, irrelevant. Sorry if I misunderstood.

I don’t need the links.

Teamsters are still more AFL than CIO that’s for sure.

“I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool.”

Not believing in worker Solidarity is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. You have to build it. You have to work. I believe that people are good. That people can be better. I believe that long term unionization is our only hope against corporate dominance.

Have hope. Get out and work for change.

Actually it is completely relevant. Where there are people there is power. Solidarity is the currency of unionionism and the unity Solidarity provides is the only true source of any Union’s strength.

Former Teamster, 19 year UPS service provider (package car driver), currently studying Social Welfare with an emphasis on community organizing in hopes of working as a labor organizer. I don’t dabble, I think about this shit all day

Respectfully, this is bullshit.

O’Brien growing a spine would have involved calling out Republicans and their policies at the RNC.

The Republican Party, as it exists under the leadership of Donald J. Trump, is a party of and based around an ideology of bigotry, marginalization, oppression, and hatred.

O’Brien’s speech and this announcement serve as a tacit endorsement of that ideology. The leadership or the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is telling the world and the rank-and-file that the repressive, Neo-fascist ideology of Trumpism is at the very least acceptable to them.

There is zero chance that the right to organize survives a second Trump administration.

All O’Brien did here was throwing out female, PoC, immigrant, refugee, migrant, and LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters, and family under the bus.

It was the opposite of Solidarity.

Be white.

In the eastern Kansas city that I live in, a living wage for a single person with no kids is almost $20/hr. There is no way $18 is nearly enough in California.

Trump’s out there making Sean O’Brien look more and more foolish every week.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Your take is completely fair. Parts of the ceremony were great. Gojira playing on the side of the Conciergerie was fuckin amazing. But on the whole, I thought the pacing of the whole event was terrible and lacked energy. Plus those fuckin NBC commentators would not shut the fuck up.

Set phasers to fuck.

In case you ever need led hardproof that America is not a Christian Nation.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

I would bet their not great people. There is probably a reason he grew into the awful person that he is. I would wager those are the same reasons he doesn’t want to help them financially.

My not involved in human trafficking t-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

She clearly plays TF2.

Lame

🙏 amazing 🙏

I need someone to Photoshop Geordie’s visor onto this.

They never want to post the Beatitudes.
