It’s because they ask the organizers how many showed up. They probably inflated the number.

I saw one dude in Proud Boy colors and Danielle Bethell, a candidate for governor in the GOP primary. Aside from that it was a pretty unremarkable, low energy event.

Swung by one more time at this MAGA event that was happening 200 yards away from Salem’s No King’s rally. I’d estimate the crowd at under 100.

1. They’re not doing the grassroots work to advertise.
2. They’re not paying for sponsored ads.
3. Those young people haven’t landed on that side of TikTok.
4. Those students aren’t politically engaged themselves.

White-collar workers are done with burnout, layoffs, and corporate spin. They’re organizing for fair pay and real power on the job. Union strength isn’t just for one class of worker—it’s for all workers. 💪 https://seiu.co/47qitOb

The future of white-collar work may be unionized

Law firms, banks and tech companies are seeing an uptick in employees choosing to join unions.

I heard on the radio this week that this is a problem in every state because there are only one or two insurance companies left who are willing to insure ski / snow resorts. -Vik

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

A preliminary injunction hearing may follow later this month and the facts on the ground matter.

If a right wing influencer with a camera is trying to goad you into a fight, there is a reason for that, and the reason is we could lose our legal standing to stop the feds from coming in.

We fear those voters are long gone. We need to focus in on the voters who are not engaged. The 90M who stayed home last election.
