'West Wing' creator spins scenario to save Democrats: Nominate Mitt Romney to stop 'dangerous imbecile' Trump (msn.com)
As much as this is not going to happen I absolutely love Aaron Sorkin's, the creator of one of the most successful political tv shows of all time, desire to write political fanfiction with reality. A man after my own heart
Love the idea of the classic narrative arc where the big bad from a previous season joins the other side in a redemption plotline to take down the BIG big bad but with Mitt Romney
please include this in the anime reboot of the west wing
#us politics#politics tw#like honestly can we have the politics version of the avengers now#where all the big guns from the past 20 years return and form a superteam#call it “The Cabinet”#like you got Obama on Secretary of State#bernie sanders as Secretary of Commerce#absolutely put robert reich back as secretary of labor#george w bush as secretary of education would be bad but so funny#mitt romney as VP#JIMMY CARTER AS SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES#etc etc you could build a team of champions

I feel like people miss that THIS is what we mean when we say tax the rich. Robert Reich's breakdown here is just so effective. www(.)youtube(.)com/watch?v=-RS_BtLB3QE&ab_channel=RobertReich
Honestly, it still absolutely boggles my mind that "tax billionaires so they pay their fair share and don't continue to financially benefit at rates wildly out of proportion to 99.9% of the world" is a remotely controversial proposition to literally anyone except the billionaires themselves, who have selfish reasons to oppose it and have spent 40 years vigorously promoting Reaganomics in order to brainwash everyone else into buying it too. Because... yeah.

Hey, so, uh...when I was a preteen/teen, I ADORED your work in the Archie Sonic comics.
The fact that you, like, LIKE my artsy junk here on Tumblr means SO MUCH MORE than I think I can ever tell you.
Thank you. Thank you SO MUCH.
Hey so uh -- we've been friends on the internet for a while now and I never knew that. :) I just assumed we were just mutually interested in the same stuff and that you were a hella talented artist I wanted to follow! It's striking how often this happens. It's been my pleasure to meet you guys at shows, talk shop, and over the years watch you become masters of your own crafts.
Every time one of you all comes forward to say that you remember my art from some earlier point in your lives, or you tell me that one of my stories stuck with you, or that you're doing your own stuff now and I was one of the people you saw doing what you wanted to do, I am so humbled. Sharing things with you guys, and making even the smallest difference in someone's life with my storytelling in such a way that someone else chooses to create and dream and imagine? Wow.
It is a calling I never thought I'd be the one answering. But here we are now and it's with the deepest gratitude that I do answer. I am so honored, my friend.
Don't know what to add to this except that you made my morning. And here! Have a Julie-Su :) For the good old days!

A lot of respect for former secretary of labor Robert Reich, ever since he starred in a short-lived buddy cop show with Late Night host Conan O'Brien:
youtube
Jeff Bezos's Amazon and Elon Musk's SpaceX are both fighting in court to have the National Labor Relations Board declared unconstitutional. Starbuck's and Trader Joe's joined them in separate lawsuits. All of these companies have a disgraceful history of worker abuse and union busting. All of them have been charged by the NLRB with hundreds of violations of workers’ organizing rights The NLRB is standing up to their union busting. That’s why they’re trying to destroy the NLRB. I'm going to do my best to keep you all informed about this case as it snakes its way through the courts. The future of unions may depend on the final verdict. http://dlvr.it/T49LM1

As a union secretary - albeit not from the US - I have to kind of (?) disagree. It might surely be a factor, but it most likely won’t be *the* reason to drag out the strike this long without an offer, if you know what I am trying to say.
Because while the public support is huge online on social media and in the bigger cities that are tied to the film/streaming/television-industry, it’s not as big as a lot of people online think. It because we’re all in our own bubbles, especially online and much more than we generally think.
Also in general these big media conglomerates, the companies who have monopoly over an industry or are part of an oligopoly, care a lot less about public opinion than most people even dare to assume and even less than they did 5-10-20 years ago. They have been able to broaden their influence over politicians, judges, governments, government agencies and the military so much, that they don’t *have to* care enough , even about these massive losses they’re currently making and will make through the strike, to even make an offer anymore.
They know they have so much more power than the general public on average assumes, they know that while more and more people are willing to face them head on and strike, that the amount of people actually willing to topple economic system and government - the entire existing power structure - is far less than that and they also know that unless we’re willing to actually properly revolt and uproot the system entirely, states and all, they will always be able to use their monopolies/oligopolies and politicians and governments, either on their team or under their control, to force us to either use their products or not have anything and to force us to work for them or starve - that’s what they have the lobbies for that basically own all politicians. The government will make sure we have to go back and work or them and bail them out of necessary and find ways to force us to consume their products, if it reaches a point that would actually be dangerous for these companies. And before that they will simply try to strongarm us into submission.
The only real actual big enough threat we can make, the only thing we can do they genuinely, really care about, to the point of fear, is striking - all of us in a general strike that is - and then uprooting the current economic system by seizing the machines, materials, offices, IT-networks, servers; all their machines, productions, knowledge and infrastructure - in short we would have to seize the means of production or at least enough people would have to be not just generally not opposed to the idea, but willing to actually really do it, to make them actually truly care about what we think. Because that way we would take away their power.
Again, I am not saying they don’t care at all that the strike has more public support than any strikes had in the past decade, they certainly mind it. But it does not make them care enough to lose that much money. Where I am from we had a massive warning-strikes campaign in the beginning of the year, they didn’t even show up with an offer the entire three rounds of negotiations. Where I live the state has cut down massively on strike laws and striking is illegal outside of very specific circumstances with specific procedures to follow and if you don’t reach an agreement after round three if negotiations - which all three have to happen in a certain timeframe - the state will get involved to mediate and suggest a solution, then the members have to vote on it and if 25% agree you have to take it. To go into a proper indefinite strike 75% have to agree tho - and they know that our strike funds won’t be able to support all striking members adequately for very long. So they didn’t care. And we had to take the awful offer. And the members took it. And it was over. Despite the overwhelming public support - more than we had seen in decades! Despite the impressive warning strikes over months! It didn’t matter.
Actually it did, but not in the way one would first assume. Massive turnout to warning strikes, massive media coverage, more than usual good media coverage, massive public support, amazing turnout to indefinite strikes - all these are signs we’re gaining momentum. They don’t want that obviously, because more support for unions means more members, means more bargaining power, means less people to exploit and therefore less profits.
So they need to squash it before it builds up.
They need to squash us!
And that’s exactly what they’re doing, in our case they started to manipulate the press (that’s about to happen with the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes as well), they forced us into an agreement at the threat of bleeding us dry. And in our case they had already build the laws in a way we were backed into a corner.
They’re not even trying to hide it. They publicly talked about it, this has been covered, they aren’t even afraid to say the quiet part out loud. That they want the strike to go on. Long enough for the striking workers to lose their healthcare. Then long enough for the striking workers to not be able to afford basic necessities anymore. Long enough for the striking workers to not be able to afford food anymore. Long enough for the striking workers to lose their apartments. Long enough for them to lose their entire livelihood and existence.
Don’t make the mistake to underestimate them, they’re counting on it. Because if we feel like they’re afraid of something but otherwise our pressure would be enough for them to make a real offer and then people start losing healthcare and apartments, we won’t be able to hold on. We all need to understand how serious the situation is. How difficult it will be. How dangerous it is.
Only if we’re prepared for a long, hard and tedious fight will we prepare accordingly - emotionally and physically - to be able to pull through. Now is the time to gather strength and support, fill the strike funds, win public supporters, bc educate people on why it is so important for everyone that we win this, turn the fear and frustration and despair people have over their situation, the cost of living crises, healthcare crises, climate crisis, having to work several jobs and barely get by, go above and beyond and only get scraps, turn the fear, frustration and despair over all of this into anger. Into hope. Into action. Draw the connection between all these crises, the economic situation and the current strikes. Unite the strikes. And make people understand that it is imperative for everyone who can’t live off of profits, interest and rent - off of other peoples money - for everyone who has to work for a living, that we win these strikes. That the consequences of failing reach far beyond the striking industries and will affect all of us. But that the consequences of winning reach far beyond the striking industry and will affect all of us and make our life’s better, not within weeks but within several months to a few years.
Now is the time to go out and talk to people , fill strike funds and gather support!
And hope it is enough.
The goal of all the companies is to make an example out of this. They want to bleed the striking workers and the unions dry. They want it to hurt very bad, they want us to invest a lot of time, money, effort and energy so when they finally squash us, it will hurt. A lot. The losses need to be huge. So it will not only be a loss, but break morale, a huge defeat. They want to take our hope so we don’t try again so soon. To discourage others. They’re going to try and make an example out of this.
But we won’t let them!
The fact alone that they want to make an example out of us shows that we scared them. Not enough to fold and give us what we want, but enough to consider us a threat that must be squashed.
So please, gather support, donate to the strike funds if you can, go to the picket lines and protests, bring snacks and water, anything that creates shade, in winter clothes and blankets to keep people warm, anything practical or even little presents - anything to boost morale. Talk about it, online, offline, on social media, in news comment sections, everywhere. At home, with extended family, with friends, acquaintances, colleagues, strangers you meet randomly while grocery shopping or on public transport or whatever. If you know workers on strike - congratulate them! Tell them how much you support them! How important you think what they do is! Praise them, we all need it sometimes! - Anything to boost morale!
If you can, offer them support, may it be making them meals if they can’t afford them, financial aid here and there, mending broken things, watching their children or pets while they’re out striking, a place to stay if push comes to shove - anything that could possibly help.
We must stand together. But if we do we can absolutely win this fight.
And if we do, many more will strike. Many more will realise their worth and that it’s not only worth fighting for fair pay, good working conditions and job security, for healthcare, public infrastructure, against climate change - that it’s not only worth fighting for a better life, a better future - that it’s possible to archive it!
So yeah, it’s most likely not the numbers they would have to expose that stops them from making an offer, although it is certainly not something we should ignore because it is a not insignificant factor.
But their refusal goes beyond that and we need to be prepared for when it gets nasty.
Because if we are. If we all stick together.
A bright future lies ahead for all of us.
agree to pay your workers fairly and the strikes will end, it’s that easy you greedy shits!
