Thought this was a great perspective you can pass along to your Kamala isn’t ready friends (I have one unfortunately – still voting for her – but says that every time we talk about it)

@TaMara:
That’s the most important thing. Feelings don’t matter.

For decades, the South has been written off as a labor wasteland — a place where employers flock to if they’re looking to skirt unions — but an April UAW vote in Chattanooga shows a change is on the way, writes Billy Dycus of the @tnaflcio.

194 to go! Only took about fifteen minutes, but my hand started cramping up because I was trying so hard to print legibly. But I got this!
I forgot who recommended the school bus stamps, but thank you! They are so cute and appropriate now that Coach is on the ticket.

Walz: They talk about small government. Small enough to be in your bedroom, small enough to be in your exam room, small enough to be in your library telling you the things you should make decisions about. https://t.co/CxsPsAYhZw

We call this a split screen.
“To not see Donald Trump on the campaign trail seems like a real unforced error. If you want to stand with Labor, you show up on Labor Day. You contrast that with what we’re seeing from the Harris campaign which is a vert intentional roll out.” https://t.co/PovaMxLooe

As a 40-year labor attorney, the PRO Act is a game changer in terms of giving unions the tools to aggressively organize workers. Republicans will fight against it as aggressively as possible because of how it will tilt organizing in favor of unions

Any chance of dog snaps? These days they are the balm of my existence. FB group (well, yes, FB) for Crap Dog Photography. (The crap is in the photo, not the dog!)

Gwen Moore riffing on Tim’s gutter video was a treasure. And Gov. Evers called him Tom one time. Tim was, as usual, perfect in his lines.

@eclare: might have been HE Wolf? Glad they’re working out for you, and thanks for writing!

@rikyrah: thanks for that article! Great read for Labor Day, and I shared it on bsky too. 😊

Tim really knows how to speak effectively to groups like this. He is getting lots of thumbs up on X/fkaTwitter.

@Ishiyama: lol, Evers. Goes to show that not everyone in education has good public speaking skills.
I love as my governor, but I’m thrilled to have Walz on the ticket. Seems perfect for this moment.

These desperate motherfuckers have nothing to go on so they’re launching attacks that actually expose how little they think of Black voters.

@rikyrah: From the quotation he’s criticizing: “Democrats pandering to Black people.” Like they are two separate groups. Democrats, a lot of them, are Black people. To me it felt very revealing of his own attitudes — as if Black people would never be part of the game; as if they could only ever be outsiders to power.

Walz: The Wall Street Journal… they did another story that said oh, he’s actually richer than his statement says because he has a “defined benefit pension plan.” That is my wish for every American to have a defined benefit pension plan. https://t.co/kVYYLa3rNK
