The owner of the mine originally agreed with the union to observe the strike, when the price of coal went up, he hired non-union workers to produce and ship out coal, as he had high debt in start-up costs. 3 miners and 20 non-miners were killed, including the superintendent and 19 strikebreakers.

The US economy is in a really bad shape. The unemployment rose to 4.2% and there was almost no new job creation in September. The situation is even worse when looking at the past two years.

Trump gave Putin a green light to do whatever he wants to Ukraine. And so Putin did. It is not a coincidence that russia started to carpet-bomb Ukrainian cities right after Trump became president and removed sanctions on russian oil.

On January 1st, Seattle’s minimum wage will increase to $22.14 per hour, no matter your employer. This victory *for* working people was won *by* working people: organizers, unions, and community members who made history on May Day, 2014.

Graphic with blue background and artistically rendered money. Text reads, “when costs rise, paychecks should rise with them.” Then, in smaller text, “Seattle’s minimum wage is increasing to $22.14 in 2027 — a 3.9% increase.” In the lower right, it says “city of Seattle Mayor Katie B. Wilson”

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Burt's physical presence is used really well here, and the aging process is convincing. The stark black and white is also very effective, just as it is on other top-tier prison movies such as Le Trou or A Man Escaped. Burt's scenes with the birds themselves are mesmerizing.

Not the escape movie I was somehow expecting, but a largely well-judged and thoughtfully-paced drama about the purpose of incareration and what it means to rehabilitate. It slips occasionally into didacticism, but is eloquent in its messaging and rarely felt stodgy, despite the hefty runtime.

The warden's claims about Stroud's lack of rehabilitation seem odd given his extraordinary progress as an autodidact. But Stroud was a much difficult inmate in real life than in the film, which perhaps explains the discrepancy. Yet the movie doesn't shy away from his original crimes. Recommended!
