Derry Girls is actually a good example of how there’s no such thing as a perfect work of art because it was perfect, until the last moment when they did the Chelsea Clinton gimmick

Today we met with detainees including Rodney Taylor to hear from them directly about the conditions in Stewart Detention Center. This detention center is notorious and accounts for the majority of deaths in ICE custody.

But sadly, the biggest scandal of all is how much anti-worker and union-busting policy they are enacting. Which gets way less attention than Trump’s lies during the campaign claiming to be pro-worker/pro-union got then.

A second-tier scandal in Trump 1.0 would be a presidential obituary in a normal administration.
A fifth-tier scandal in Trump 2.0 would be first-tier scandal in Trump 1.0.
A fifth-tier scandal in Trump 2.0 would be first-tier scandal in Trump 1.0.
I’ve been thinking about doing a meta story on this for a while: the second trump administration is so pathetically, world historically psychotic that you likely don’t know what’s happening with his labor department. It’s a constant stream of scandals and excess
Constant.
Constant.
The labor secretary’s husband was barred from the department’s premises after two staffers said he sexually assaulted them.
