The Republicans in the Southern state have worked long and hard to make their states as union unfriendly as they could. They thought they had their states locked up tight. Then the UAW, led by President Shawn Fain, came to Tennessee. They locked arms with the men and women at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee and showed them what solidarity looks like: Hourly workers at Volkswagen’s plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee overwhelming voted to join the United Auto Workers late Friday, a major breakthrough in the union’s effort to organize workers at plants nationwide. Shortly after 11 pm ET on Friday the National Labor Relations Board, the federal body that oversees such votes, announced that 73% of the 3,600 workers at the plant who cast ballots had voted in favor of joining the union.

  • Happy Volcano Day: Mount St Helens Erupts
    Crooks and Liars, Sunday - 05/19/2024 - 11:00 PM

    History Channel reminds us of the devastation caused by this volcanic eruption.

After the city of Pompeii was buried under the might of Mt Vesuvius in 79 ce , an incredible city was discovered under the ash over a thousand years later. For many centuries Pompeii slept beneath its pall of ash, which perfectly preserved the remains.

We first saw this when he was explaining why people in nursing homes shouldn't be allowed to vote, when he denied in believing The Big Lie and then repeating all the accusations anyway.
