But then, by Jove, the U.S. DOJ accidentally began breathing new life into labor's moribund anus when it forced the Teamsters into receivership and cleared the swamp at Solidarity House.

So, Lady Justice, be careful what you wish for.

I'm optimistic that after fifty years, the political pendulum is beginning to swing away from the neoliberal hoax and toward a new deal that will be fair to workers like my old man [God rest his soul.]

Sean O'Brien for Vice President!

Va-va-voom HW!

I saw a Lady under a red light that just looked like your Lady Justice the other day…


Aside from that, I’m all for a good Union and good leaders, and screw the billionaire pilot fishes, sycophants, etc, etc…
