Did you have this on your bingo card for 2026? "this is one of the craziest union-busting adjacent things I’ve ever seen" - said Bob Funk, @laborlabus
Scoop 🚨 Why is one of New York's most notorious union-busters forming independent unions? Cesar Alarcón, an anti-union consultant, showed up at Golden Krust with a new union, Local 311. Was it a sham? New investigation for @Documentedny documentedny.com/2026/09/23/…

Labor unions are a lot more effective at promoting family formation and stability than right-wing podcasters and meme-lords raging against women these days. I’ve been making this argument FOR YEARS. Now there’s more empirical proof. If you want strong families, especially in the working class, you have to support a material foundation. That means a less lopsided distribution of the social income (which unions achieve through collective bargaining) and a sense of empowerment / agency (which they achieve through collective action).

Unlike Admiral Bradley, Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned and refused to go along with Pete Hegseth's illegal orders. RETWEET to thank Admiral Holsey for standing up for the Constitution!

As a student of Trump’s rhetoric, this is by far the most overtly racist, dehumanizing diatribe I’ve heard from him. This is a long way from “very fine people.” This is openly eliminationist, neo-Nazi hate speech against a group because of their race. Then the applause… “But I think that Walz is a grossly incompetent man. There's something wrong with him. There's something wrong with him. And when you look at what he's done with Somalia which is barely a country, you know, they have no anything. They just run around killing each other. There's no structure. And when I see somebody like Ilhan Omar who I don't know at all, but I always watch a few years have watched a complaint about our constitution. Now she's being treated badly, a constitution in the United States of America's a bad place. He hates everybody, hates Jewish people, hates everybody. And I think she's an incompetent person. She's a real terrible person. But when I watch one is happening in Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes or however many lakes they have, and they got a lot of lakes. But there's beautiful place. And I see these people ripping it off. And now I'm understanding, and you're going to look at, that's a here they ripped off. Somadians ripped off that state for billions of dollars, billions, every year, billions of dollars, and they contribute nothing. The welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you. Somebody said, oh, that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don't want them in our country. I can say that about other countries too. I can say that about other countries too. We don't want them to help. We got to, we have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is at a tipping point. We can go bad. We're at a tipping point. I don't know if people mind me saying that, but I'm saying it, we could go one way or the other. And we're going to go the wrong way. We keep taking in garbage into our country. Elon Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These are people that work. These are people that say, let's go, come on, let's make this place great. These are people that do nothing but complain. They complain. And from where they came from, they got nothing. You know, they came from paradise. And they said, this isn't paradise. But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing, but bitch, we don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.“
The end of that meeting was one of the most racist, disgusting displays I’ve seen from anyone, much less a president. Holy fuck, he has lost it.
