On Friday, workers represented by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 27 at Kentmere Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center in Wilmington voted unanimously to ratify a new contract. Notching a victory not only for themselves, but providing an example for workers across the region that collective action can garner positive results.
Two weeks of informational pickets in April organized by workers and UFCW 27 representatives, along with a rally on Kentmere Parkway, coaxed management to the negotiating table and last week workers approved the newly negotiated terms.

Another Day, Another Corrupt Real Estate Deal Which Will Allow the Omanis & Saudis to Transfer Hundreds of Millions into Trump Bank Accounts
I’m beginning to get the feeling that Republicans really don’t care that Trump is fully owned by foreign governments.
The “show me the money!” generation
I’m so old that I remember when judges were not in it for the big bucks. They were intellectually aloof, like college professors happily ensconced in their academic villages. They were at ease with a life of the mind. The gentile poverty that comes with valuing ideas over bottles of rare wine was not considered […]

1) Fuck Hunter Biden. That said – for Republicans everything is always about presidential electoral politics and nothing is ever about policy.
Since they are widely hated for their policies (and because they are awful), they have to make their opponent MORE awful in the eyes of low info voters.
That was easy with Hillary Clinton. It was harder to do with Biden, but the project NEVER stops. It is relentless and bottomless.
2) “Sweetheart deal”. That’s what the DOJ kept trying to give to Trump. When Merrick Garland’s made the decision to not investigate Trump for trying to overthrow the government because Republicans might get mad – that was a pretty fucking sweet deal.
A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year would pass before prosecutors and FBI agents jointly embarked on a formal probe of actions directed from the White House to try to steal the election. Even then, the FBI stopped short of identifying the former president as a focus of that investigation.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden To Plead Guilty–Get Probation

Unhinged Hateful Rhetoric Works! Especially when you have centrist dipshits taking up your bogus talking points. A majority of Republicans now say same-sex relations are immoral after a year of ‘groomer’ attacks on the LGBTQ community Only 41% of Republicans say gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable, according to Gallup. That is a 15% […]
Democrats, once again, catch their dick in their zipper by trying to not catch their dick in their zipper
Doing or not doing a thing because Republicans might react badly is just stupid.

Last Week’s Poll Results and This Week’s Poll Question
What happens to Trump? About 44% of us think that Trump is going to walk on the stealing, hoarding and sharing top secret documents charges. That’s probably a good reflection of the overall probability of that happening. Trump keeps saying the we have a two tiered justice system and he is right. One system for […]
“Ye Are Welcome Hither”
It is Arden’s motto, and reflects the town’s vision to create an inclusive community. Delaware is fast becoming a state that could adopt that motto. As other states crack down on people who the Rethuglicans demonize for political purposes, Delaware is laying out the welcome mat. Enter HB 230 (Neal). The bill: …updates House Bill […]
