Mississippians are paying more at the grocery store and more at the pump. Cindy Hyde-Smith has had her chance to stand up for working families. Instead, she’s handed over Congress’ authority and left us to foot the bill. That’s not Mississippi first, that's Mississippi last.

The boss is often ALSO concerned with suppressing rival slates (usually reform slates that say Guy Jr has gotten lazy and isn't pushing militantly enough for contract improvement). So the boss will often give Guy Jr enough of a sweetheart contract deal to suppress rival slates.

Guy Jr is usually less concerned with organizing new shops or militant first contract campaigns, and more concerned with constituent services, and with suppressing rival slates.

I think what is helpful to understand is that a lot of this is cyclical. Unions are fundamentally conservative, in that they seek to conserve past victories (unionization, first contract) and build on them. The Guy who knew how to organize new shops and win is succeeded by Guy, Jr, who is not dad.

Yep. The reality right now is that there aren't *any* actual debates over jurisprudence, interpretation, and so forth, because SCOTUS itself doesn't have any. The majority decides cases solely on personal preference and does not leave behind a consistent rationale for doing so.

Pretty sure that disunion epitomizes the objective of GOP, Trump, SCOTUS. 1990s "conservatives" (represented by GOP) initiated an "us v them" win-at-all-costs zero-sum model of culture, politics & governance resulting in hypocrisy, tribalism, & bad government.

This framing is super interesting (some states vetoing others). To me it brings into focus the ends of their project: a slow moving Civil War where instead of bloodshed and spending money on weapons, they create judicial conditions where the only way out of inequality is to secede. Wild.

1/ The biggest safety-net cuts arrives not with a Republican announcing them. They arrive as a computer decision: denied, flagged, delayed, reduced. As benefit rules tighten due to GOP, the machinery deciding who qualifies matters just as much as the law. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
