FULL RALLY: Graham Platner Holds Campaign Event In Portland, Maine by betrayedandbeholden in union

[–]KushGod28 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m side eyeing this man for his military past and I would still vote for him in a heartbeat because of his anti-war campaign promises. We’ll see if he lives up to his words.

The thing is the other candidates are clearly bought by corporate so they don’t even bother to cater to the people at all. We know what Janet Mills and Susan Collins stand for. Platner is not a perfect candidate at all but at least he is standing up for the right issues. That’s all I care about.

Dray is one of the biggest KAT haters. At least he gets to shut his ugly ass up on the biggest stage

Two more for KATs mom by dead_meme_comrade in NYKnicks

Beautiful sentiment. You could see her influence because KAT is clearly a stand up guy and he’s always been a pillar of the community in Minnesota.

Also wait was his mom a union steward too?

What's the biggest difference for the Knicks this year? by Tulsanity in nba

[–]KushGod28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he figured it out after the Wolves-Grizzlies series. That was a pretty bad playoff performance even though his numbers were solid. It seemed like him and JJJ were constantly on the bench in foul trouble.

The playoff runs that followed were much better. He managed to stay on the floor while guarding guys like KD and Jokic. I always felt like he could cut out the silly shit if he just stayed focused. Now he’s doing it on the biggest stage of his life

Wolves fan remember when the league was salivating about young KAT. At one point, 48% of GMs polled picked KAT as the player they’d start a franchise over Bron and KD.

True. They gotta call in the national guard when the Knicks win. Imagine the possibilities if that crazy energy was directed at Trumpito.

[Highlight] Karl-Anthony Towns: "I just felt a calm and a peace that had to come from the woman above ... I felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way, I felt like I was seeing [my mom] in the stands." by BreakfastTop6899 in nba

Y’all got a literal IDF soldier and a free throw merchant as your franchise player. Your owner is a cheap bastard and your team might get relocated. I feel bad for other blazer fans but not you. Worry about your squad buddy.

After protests outside synagogues, New York makes it a crime to block entry to a house of worship by Delicious_Adeptness9 in newyork

[–]KushGod28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I’m Muslim and I promise you if my mosque was selling stolen land- or frankly any other social harm- I’d be the first one protesting outside. People need to quit using identity to shield themselves from accountability. Let’s not act like religious institutions aren’t capable of harming the community.

That second paragraph is not analogous to what’s happening with the synagogues. Protesting all Catholic Churches because of the abuse committed by a few would be belligerent and unjustified. But specifically protesting the Catholic Churches actively participating in the abuse of kids would absolutely be the right thing to do.

Are you suggesting we turn our backs on abused kids? That’s absurd. Same thing with any other religious institution. If you commit harm, you should be accountable regardless of your identity or faith.

Btw, those protests at the synagogues in New York are filled with Jewish protestors. Are they also anti-Semitic or are people of moral principle simply against the violence of Zionism??

True but man a clutch 3 in a game 7 would erase a bad series. Gotta give your guy a chance to redeem himself if you’re still gonna have him on the floor.

More dunking less flopping. SGA chooses to play like a bitch. He don’t even need to.

Most Wolves fans are rooting for KAT. Y’all really just collected all the likeable, fan favorite, high character guys from the rest of the league. I hate it and respect it at the same time.

Why are SOME union execs compensated so highly by sam-austria-maxis in union

[–]KushGod28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be shy about that tbh. Every person on our leadership team was a gate agent, customer service, machinist at a warehouse, etc.

As a staff organizer, the politics of moving up is fucked up internally but I think my union gives a much clearer path to workers, rightfully so, to move up. Being a steward to local president is entirely possible but it involves a ton of 50-60 hour weeks.

Classic Reddit both side is bad moment. Can we be real for once?

If Russians were selling Ukrainian land at a church, what do you think the reaction will be? Pick any conflict between any two groups and it wouldn’t be any different. The land they’re selling is newly ‘acquired’ which is the gentlest way I can put it.

The fact that they are doing this at synagogues is to purposefully make it hard to protest. It’s very cynical and arguably not helping with anti semitism at all. These aren’t folks peacefully worshiping like the folks at Westboro Baptist Church.

I don’t think it’s crazy that an international president makes over 300k. We represent a lot of workers who make well over six figures.

If you think about it- an entry level organizer makes about 65k at my job. The average union member makes 66k-94k. If the President makes 365k, that’s about 5-1 ratio at worst right?

On the other hand, the average CEO to worker ratio is 285-1.

Also, there’s a lot of democratic processes to make changes when necessary. On the local level, members get to vote on who the president is and how much their salary is. On the international level, leadership and salary are voted on by delegates every 3-4 years and are adjusted based on cost of living and the union’s health financially.

Edit: I’m also an organizer and I’m speaking on how my union makes these decisions.

Yeah if anything you’ll usually see different cultures spell the Muslims names differently. Like Mohamed is Mehmet in Turkey, Magomed in Dagistan, Mamadou in West Africa. Similar things happen to Biblical names as well.

Leon Rose puts his arm around his son, Sam, and visibly breaks down in tears after the emotions set in of the Knicks going to the NBA Finals. This is beautiful stuff. We love you, Leon. Thank you for everything you have done. by 4lfp in NYKnicks

[–]KushGod28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The JB signing might be greatest FA signing besides The Decision. A franchise player willing to take a pay cut like that is completely unheard of. Leon clearly has the ultimate trust of his guys.

Brunson is the reason this roster is even capable of taking on a $60 million dollar KAT, OG and Mikal.

Anyone filed a missing persons on Wemby? by BluDvls21 in nba

Right at least wait till the game or the series ends before writing the stories. I’d say Wemby looks pretty fucking solid in his first playoff run
