But his assertion that diversity weakens unions ignores two things. First, labor unions have a long history of multiethnic coalitions. Second, it was the capitalists and political elites who tried to *exploit* ethnic divisions to maintain power. There is only one person here trying to stop unions:
If you read into Filipino American history in the late 19th to the 20th century, you’ll see A LOT of unionizations, strikes, and other labor actions—all working with other ethnic groups!

Before the earth cooled, I remember a senior chief telling a bunch of first-year midshipmen, including me, that we'd do our best to rescue survivors in the water, even if they were just shooting at us a minute before; we don't hasten their demise, or do any of those stupid war-movie-revenge things.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

A little tidbit: @janeese4dc.bsky.social just told me that her campaign qualified for public financing in just four hours since launching. That required getting $40,000 in small donations from at least 1,000 D.C. residents. That's pretty fast.
NEWS: Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George is running for mayor, stepping into an open race in the wake of Mayor Muriel Bowser's decision not to seek a fourth term. At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie is also meeting with campaign consultants this week for his own run.

First, looks like CFPB bonuses and dental and vision plans are going away the NTEU negotiated are going away. Happy holidays from Russell Vought!
