The truth hurts, Donnie

Trump yells “fuck you” and flips off an auto worker in Michigan who yelled “pedophile protector” www.tmz.com/2026/01/13/t...

Another nail in Trump's Michigan coffin

This is huge for working Americans

BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide.

They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades.

This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor. pic.twitter.com/UhB2nsWNoH

Phony, phony, phony

NEW: The Trump campaign paid $20,000 to stage a fake union rally at a non-union plant with non-union workers, campaign finance reports show. https://t.co/aR2HhqWlV5

Joe Biden stands for the American worker

Best President of my lifetime, too

Biden is the best president of my lifetime. Hands down. PACT, CHIPS, Infrastructure, Climate, gun reform, he walked a picket line, got abortion travel, cancelled student debt, ended Afghanistan, 14M jobs, record low unemployment, diversified the judiciary… I could go on. https://t.co/gP6EcUB3QB

Another heinous quality for Trump: Scab

Biden = For the American People/Trump = Scab

The ad practically writes itself: Biden on the picket line with striking workers while Trump visits a non-union shop, blasting the UAW

And it would be accurate representation of their very different worldviews/priorities/loyalties https://t.co/e6qxVJHkSM

Smells like victory for the unions

With today's landmark agreement with GM, the UAW has now reached tentative agreements with all of the Big Three American automakers – a testament to the power of unions and collective bargaining.

Maybe after four years of Trump they've forgotten what real leadership looks like

"Biden takes risks in walking UAw picket line"
"Biden takes risks with Ukraine"
"Biden takes risks with Israel"
"Biden takes risks with [fill in blank]"

How about "for better or worse, Biden leads"?

#UnionJoe

Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create.

It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.

Amen

In 2009, when the big three automakers were on the verge of bankruptcy, the auto workers in the UAW sacrificed pay and benefits to help get the companies back on their feet. Now that the corporations are enjoying robust profits, it’s time to do right by those same workers.

Corporate America has fucked around and now it's going to find out

It’s refreshing how the new @UAW leadership has thrown the old rhetoric of labour-management “partnership” in the trash along with insulting company contract proposals. Instead, they’re saying that they’re ready to fight not just for autoworkers, but the entire working class 🗑️✊ https://t.co/tJi4Bi3xem

People gonna rise up, get their share

Autoworkers have voted by an overwhelming margin to strike if the Big Three carmakers don't agree to a fair deal.

Union made

Solidarity for the middle class

While it's obviously getting a lot of play here in the Motor City, I'd be willing to bet that the rest of the country isn't getting quite the daily onslaught of stories concerning the UAW strike against General Motors--but its influence on the rest of the country could be monumental.

When GM was struggling in 2009, the UAW made huge concessions to help keep the company afloat, but now that GM is swimming in money ($18.1 billion in profits last year) they seem to have developed a case of amnesia when it comes to rewarding their workers.  The UAW rightly seeks its fair share of the company's success, and it is striking to not only help themselves, but to help all of the middle class.

Unions built the middle class, and it is unions that will rebuild it.  Income inequality has become an epidemic and if we don't draw a line in the sand, it will only get worse.  This strike is a step in the right direction to helping us all. 

When I first moved to Detroit, I remember thinking that if it weren't for the UAW and the wages and benefits that it had gotten for its workers, there was no way KMart would have ever paid me a decent wage or given me decent benefits.  Thanks to the UAW I was able to make a decent living.  And it's that way for all of us, not just here in Michigan.

If this strike fails, it's hard to imagine a way back to a vibrant economy that works for all of us, and not just the wealthy, without a lot of ugliness that the powers that be will sorely regret.

Fuck Donald Trump,

You've got a lotta nerve

If you're not sure what "chutzpah" means, perhaps this will help:

This week Donald Trump, a billionaire, told The Detroit News that autoworkers, median income $56,000 a year, make too much money.

It's good to see that once again this Presidential election cycle the republican party is lining up candidates who have no idea what it means to be an ordinary American.

And it's a guarantee that when the hammer comes down in November of 2016, they'll be just as clueless.

The same sad echo

It wasn't as if I thought Nolan Finley would ever win a Pulitzer (a Pukelitzer, maybe) for commentary, but Jesus Christ, he and the Detroit News have gone completely off the deep end with their ass kissing of the Antoinettes.  His latest diatribe is against all the ballot proposals being worked on here in Michigan--why, heck, if we don't watch out we're gonna end up like all those evil folk in Californey.

Finley's concern is laughable--I certainly didn't hear a whimper from him when republicans were pushing through ballot proposals to enact racism (Affirmative Action Initiative) and Homophobia (Defense of Marriage Act) into law.  Methinks Finley's big concern is the ballot proposal to ensure collective bargaining will remain a right for Michigan workers and end once and for all the charade of right to work for less laws.  Despite his near constant attempts to turn the UAW into some sort of bogeyman, most people in Michigan are smart enough to realize that the UAW has helped increase all of our wages, and the right to collectively bargain is actually immensely popular.  His rants are merely a sop to a bunch of rich white men.

The part that got me the most, though, was when he wrote of the ballot proposal to increase wind power in Michigan (which frankly, isn't high on my priority list) and noted that it was "reportedly" backed by a California billionaire environmentalist.

You know, "reportedly" Nolan Finley has a brain, but when it comes to a piece in a big city newspaper, I'd like some proof, not just Antoinette wishful thinking.
