UPDATE: THE DOCKWORKERS WON
Per AP, More Perfect, Labor Notes:
Shippers agreed to a 61.5% wage increase over 6 years, details still being negotiated, but current contract will be extended to January 15th while they working it out.
Some reports there's also an agreement on automation.

Kamala Harris out with a statement also backing striking dockworkers and tying their demands to record industry profits.
She goes on to hit Trump for putting unionbusters on the NLRB and backing strike-breaking, and reaffirms her commitment to the PRO Act.

CNN is on in the airport so I'm actually seeing TV news and much of it is..bad!
Ex: they were just like 'will this new ad featuring women who allege Trump assaulted them be effective?' rather than 'this man is an adjudicated rapist & bragged about doing exactly what these women said he did to them'

Reminiscent of when local news runs what it thinks is a feel-good story about, like, people donating their vacation days to help a colleague get cancer treatment
Sad fact that posting sticky notes telling women in conservative areas that no one can find out who they voted for might be safer than door-knocking because a spouse could overhear the conversation
Pro-Harris sticky notes pop up in women's restrooms and gyms and on tampon boxes
Word about the grassroots campaign has spread on social media, primarily on Facebook, with women putting "Woman to woman" notes in places where other women will see them.

I agree with Sam but also can we talk specifically about how fucking insane this rhetoric is? The housing market is distorted because umpty-ump million illegal immigrants are buying homes with fentanyl cash? Easily disprovable and deranged. Disqualifying. Preposterous to entertain
one reason that I find left/liberal NIMBYism so distasteful is that it creates false housing scarcity in a way that serves a far-right xenophobic agenda.
NIMBY ideology must be fully excised from the Democratic Party before it’s too late

I admit I didn't understand why the crowd was chuckling at "I wonder where the fly came from" until I saw all the racist slogans in the background and realized he's trying to say immigrants are disease-bags bringing bugs. I hate this guy more than I've ever hated anyone
Remember there's a hat that's big that sells like crazy. Oh there's a fly up here, oh. I wonder where the fly came from. See? Two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up heErEe [voice quivering]. You’re changing rapidly. But we can’t take it any longer. We can’t take it any longer.
