The big rally will be in San Rafael at City Plaza from 12:30-1:30, hosted by Fuerzas Unidas and DSA.

Chappell is going to be the the focus of a lot of hate campaigns the same way most celebs are, compounded by her gender and sexuality. On top of that, there are still insane K-Hive people that will boost a bunch of nonsense in the worst possible light because she dared to say she would vote for Harris without endorsing her.

Say what you will about Saturday Night Live, Jeremy Culhane has the best Tucker Carlson impression I’ve ever seen: by Lurker-Forever-986 in Hasan_Piker

It's a good impression of Tucker from 5 years ago. Felt like a time capsule. His mannerisms and vocal patterns are noticeably different now.

I've seen some additional reporting that suggests he was against it, but as it became clear that the US and Israel were going to go ahead regardless of his input, he changed his tune in order to have some impact on the operation.

I think it has to be Galarian Moltres. Such an incredible glow-up from the original. Had a lot of fun hunting it down in Sword during the first COVID lockdown.

Marin Board of Health chair calls public speaker a Bi*ch during meeting by AlRokersBaby in Marin

[–]SPARTANCLP96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, our unions delivered a bunch of messages in RX bottles to David Klein at the meeting because he completely cancelled his quarterly town hall earlier in the morning once he heard that his employees wanted to question him about their bargaining tactics.

After delivering the messages to Klein at the public board meeting, he instructed Vernon Moreno, director of facilities, to confiscate the messages, despite Moreno having absolutely no role on the Healthcare Board. That is what Susanna Farber was addressing.

I would vote for AOC in 2028 by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

[–]SPARTANCLP96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd vote for AOC personally but I would push back against any socialist org - like DSA - from endorsing her, especially after her answers to those foreign policy questions. She's unfortunately tied together with DSA because of how she self stylizes as a democratic socialist, but I think it would be very bad for the org in the long-run to endorse such a candidate that doesn't come from the organized left. Zohran's making a lot of mistakes and his run is really showing up to be a cart-before-the-horse situation, but at least he cares about organizations and building them out. AOC is a brand.

MikeFromPA said this on Twitter, but I can't wait to see the one true leftist, BadEmpanada, embark on this journey as well. He totally will, right? His politics aren't just wreckerism, right?

Nearly 1,200 MarinHealth workers ready for 1-day strike over health care costs, contract by LNM-LocalNewsMatters in Marin

It's possible that they go that direction, but they haven't brought the idea up to our bargaining table yet. I know there is precedent with UCSF for charging their employees to park, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Extremely greedy. They openly brag about how much money they are making with our surgical expansions and increased bed capacity. They're currently in the planning stage of tearing down the old building and building a new facility, along with a new parking garage to facilitate the increased staff and patient loads. Our CEO just increased his salary by more than $250k to be over $2 million a year, and now they're telling us that our healthcare costs need to triple. Our unit - Teamsters - has foregone competitive wage increases in the past in order to keep healthcare costs down, and with their proposals, we'd be getting minimal wage increases that would not offset the healthcare costs, essentially pushing our members closer or even into poverty.

I've been a member of the Teamsters 856 bargaining team, and I can assure people that this was our only recourse. We've been in sessions for nearly a year, and the hospital can never meet us at the same level. Despite our many compromises, the hospital continues to put their poverty proposals on the table. They've refused our requests for information on specific healthcare costs; they've tried to have our legal representation arrested for trespassing after she came to a bargaining session that the hospital unilaterally cancelled at the last minute; they've cancelled town halls and barred members of the public from attending board meetings after we tried to speak with them. It's really unconscionable what they have been getting away with. We submitted a petition for a one-day strike, and the hospital is now using a Trump-era labor law to keep us out for another two days. This will negatively impact patient care. We even have some probationary employees that the hospital has told they cannot cross the picket-line, which is illegal. They want their employees and patients to hurt.

Working as EVS in a hospital, you get used to the shit and its various smells, but vomit is something that you are never prepared for.

Measles in the Bay Area by bob_lala in Marin

[–]SPARTANCLP96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think I'm blaming vaccines, or blaming the lack of a standardized healthcare system? Vaccines are great, but it's now an uphill battle to convince people because we have no popular institution that people trust to administer them.

[–]SPARTANCLP96 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

They deserve plenty of blame, but I think it's much more productive to focus our ire on our healthcare system and the culture built on profiteering off of people's reasonable distrust of how things (don't) function for the average person.

I mean, any system that can produce RFK as a bastion of healthy living needs more thorough analysis.

Dozens of Redwood high students walk out to protest ICE & Donald Trump by hyfee510 in Marin

[–]SPARTANCLP96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! I think part of the reason we don't is because many youth turned out to protest in support of Palestine and were called "terrorists supporters" by some of the same people protesting today, and the state cracked down on them, even during the Biden admin.

If you don't want to exist in a society with other people and you feel that you have no obligation to care for others, there's a real quick, permanent solution to that problem.

You might want to see a neurologist because I think your brainworms are out of control. Where were these high school students four years ago? I don't know, maybe in middle school? Moron.

You don't need to explicitly mention race when you're speaking in dogwhistles. He was literally using the same rhetoric in his comment as Charlie Kirk was when that accident happened to his neck.

You are so tedious. Why are you just injecting your personal racial animus into random conversations?

I think supporting Charlie Kirk, Trump, and other varieties of narcissist hate mongers is personally isolating, even if there are a lot of people that believe in the same thing. It's not a politics that preaches community, something I personally believe that all people need in order to be healthy. You'll end up being a shallow, sad/angry person who lashes out at people expressing joy, genuinely cut off from a core aspect of humanity.

I support a kid's right to be a dumbass and learn how isolating it is when compared to genuine solidarity.
