FYI If you do not share my opinion & want to engage in a respectful conversation, it is welcome. I’ve had many like that on this venue & I thank those who did so. Want to use vulgarity, insult me, or degrade me? You’ll be blocked & can crawl back to your hole.

@ShortsleeveMA It’s okay. The roads will be blocked with trash because her same mandate means trash trucks & other large equipment will need lithium batteries so big they won’t be able to move &/or travel far. It’s called “performative environmentalism” & does more harm than good.

After the storm we just had, imagine Massachusetts without enough snow plows to keep roads safe. That future isn’t hypothetical. Maura Healey’s 2050 Net-Zero mandates threaten the very equipment we rely on for public safety. From electric truck requirements to state-mandated energy fees, Healey keeps kicking the can past Election Day instead of fixing the problem now. There are real solutions on the table, but she refuses to act. Why won’t she put public safety and affordability ahead of climate politics? #mapoli #magov

@MassDailyNews @MassGovernor

@Will_OC_BA @NnPnemck Need more proof? Look at who provides people for picket lines. @Teamsters have been welcoming the Communist Party members with open arms & feature it on social media. And unions typically vote Democrat, who then give the union billions in bailouts. Follow the money trail.

@NnPnemck It’s been building for 60 years… The American Communist Party never went away, they made a calculated decision to assimilate into the Democratic Party… This is not hyperbole, it is historical fact and easily researchable.

I want you to remember Charlie Kirk getting his neck blown out in front of college kids. The entire world watched it happen. And I want you to remember how the left reacted. How they celebrated. How they justified it. How hundreds of thousands of people liked a post where Amanda Seyfried said he deserved it. Then remember how enraged they were when President Trump moved his head and survived an assassination attempt on live television… something that would have thrown this country into chaos, if not outright civil war. Remember how they built shrines and merch for Luigi Magionie after he murdered an innocent man in cold blood. And Ashli Babbitt? They didn’t just defend the shooting, they turned her killer into a hero and have mocked her death for five straight years. Their hypocrisy is so loud and rancid it makes their obnoxious red whistles seem quiet. This isn’t “politics.” This is a communist insurgency, carried out by ppl who openly worship the ideology of Karl Marx and want to eliminate everyone to the right of him. They don’t care about life or “innocent victims.” They care about power, and they will justify any amount of bloodshed to get it. Accept where we are. It is not going to be pretty. Do not be manipulated by their narcissistic, emotional-blackmail warfare. The only way is through.

@TDpro62 @MassFiscal Even worse: @MassGovernor didn’t ensure @MassDOT @MassDOTSafety were consistently clearing major roads. Friends who are healthcare providers & first responders said going to work on 95 & 93 was treacherous last night - they hadn’t been cleared for hours despite falling snow.

@MassFiscal Healy is useless. Today she talked about ICE rather than talk about the dangerous snow storm affecting our state. She is a loser and need to be called out and voted out. Communist!!

Days after Governor Healey celebrated foreign hydro power, New England hit its first winter storm. During that storm, hydro delivered just 4% of our power and emergency oil generation surged to over 40%. Massachusetts need affordable, reliable power, not press releases.

So because a @SocialSecurity agent didn’t provide a critical piece of info during a phone call, I need to take a day off of work to go in to fix the issue that they can’t do over the phone. PS Agent: stop trying to blame @POTUS because you can’t fix YOUR errors over the phone.🤦‍♀️

Now it’s also funny… it’s an ice cream truck playing @JLo & @pitbull’s “Get On The Floor”… in those electronic tones that ice cream trucks play. 😆💃🏼🕺

The sound of an ice cream truck will never not bring out the little kid in me! #thesoundsofsummer

@JessyHammond_1 @Debsam1760 Hard to make any offers when the union won't return to the table. Instead, their leaders publicly stated they won't until they get everything they've demanded. Maybe the union underestimates public support - seems all people care about is their trash being picked up.

@Debsam1760 They offered this nearly a month ago atp

The Teamsters (who have negatively impacted the film biz in Boston among other bad acts) who work for Republic waste services in Boston area have been on strike since 7/1. In spite of sketchy tactics during the strike, of course most in MA support. I wonder if they know this….

@itsmedanielfc @allanonskeep @trouble_man90 Yes... after all, he allowed the Teamsters to take $41.5 BILLION from taxpayers to bail out their mismanaged pension funds between 2022 and July 2024. Definitely "working class" friendly for only certain groups... just not working taxpayer-friendly.

@allanonskeep @trouble_man90 Biden was the most pro-"working class" president in decades, you're delusional.

Smug pundits and the far left think there is some combination of words and phrases that if democrats just said them with the right cadence and passion that it would pierce through the madness and stop trump, and we’ll all high five each other and everything will work out. And they’re going to get us all killed.

@DingusTheMingus @KyleKulinski This is a private pension. The state directs the way public pensions are held. If the Teamsters have a legal right to a bailout, then everyone has a legal right. Which means everyone now can be stupid risky and put all of their pension into meme coins. Fair is fair.

@Knickstape2005 @_BillyHoyleofNJ The union failed to fund their pension funds at appropriately levels, showing a level of financial mismanagement that has cost taxpayers $41.5 BILLION in the past 3 years alone. And the DOJ had to demand $127 million back because the union included 3500 dead members on its rolls.

@_BillyHoyleofNJ Joe Biden had to give the teamsters money to bailout their pension fund because they privatized it and lost money. Warren Buffett admits that there's years that he loses money on investments. The teamster who is depending on that pension to eat can't afford to lose that money.

Rather than fearmonger EXPLAIN to people that have invested into the market and had positive results why this is a bad thing. If responsible investing was good for Warren Buffet why wouldn't it be good for social security? You can win over people if the answer is sufficient.

@cityofbeverlyma Can taxpayers hold officials like @MayorMikeCahill responsible for wasting tax dollars on a lawsuit that may have little legal grounds if the contract has a "strike clause"? $$ could instead be used to pay city & school employees the same wages & benefits the company provides.

Please see the Tuesday, August 12th letter Mayor Cahill sent to Republic leadership on behalf of 11 cities and towns affected by the ongoing labor dispute between Republic and their truck drivers and collectors.

@bumpkin45 @burnsyxsouthie @trackingdonald @BarackObama No use arguing with a union member who can’t grasp the union is simply a parasite. It makes no product & provides no service, feeding off members, employers, & taxpayers ($41.5 BILLION in just last 3 years). It only cares about dues while its demands kill companies & lose jobs.

@burnsyxsouthie @trackingdonald @BarackObama Well, one recent one that comes to mind is Yellow trucking company. Let go 22,000 teamsters all because they wouldn't accept a new collective bargaining agreement. So yeah, driving companies into the ground. Do you work for the teamsters or your actual employer?

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.

@teamster4obama @Teamsters Bingo! When will union members realize their leaders are as needy as influencers for attention & it has nothing to do with members keeping jobs? The union’s demand simply means those about to retire don’t get a little extra & now the last hired will be the first laid off.

@Teamsters All you had to do was maintain the status quo. Ask for $0.75 a year raise. Keep our healthcare coverage. Maybe, go out on a limb and try to get a cost of living increase for retirees? But, no. You had to ask for big wage increases for p/t employees working 3 hours a day.

Teamsters must use our leverage to hold UPS accountable. We’ve got the power to preserve and reclaim what’s ours. Let’s keep swingin’.

@Mpls_Ghetto_Guy @Teamsters That’s @Teamsters MO: a non-taxpaying nonprofit that makes NO product & provides NO services yet took $41.5 BILLION from taxpayers in past 3 years alone to bail out mismanaged pension funds. & @DOGE_DOJ had to demand $127 mil back for 3500 dead Teamsters they gave names of. 🙄

@Teamsters Why do you keep pointing out that UPS is a multibillion-dollar corporation when everybody already knows that? And yet, you never mention their $13.3 billion annual payroll. It sounds to me like it's nothing more than an attempt at stoking class warfare on your part.

AT 11TH HOUR, UPS BOWS TO TEAMSTERS STRIKE THREAT IN 7 STATES United Parcel Service (UPS) bowed to a credible, coordinated strike threat authorized by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters around midnight after the union demanded the multibillion-dollar corporation cease multiple attacks on workers’ rights. With picket lines ready to assemble in the early morning hours Tuesday across seven states, the Teamsters secured a handful of settlements from UPS on outstanding grievances as well as a first contract for newly organized workers. At the direction of General President Sean M. O’Brien, Teamsters were prepared to strike UPS at its largest air hub, Worldport, in Louisville, Ky., and across the Chicago area, and to extend picket lines to California, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Ohio if UPS did not retreat. “The Teamsters have lost all patience with UPS’s ongoing attacks on our members’ rights and our contracts. The gloves are off,” O’Brien said. “Since the ratification of our National Master Agreement in 2023, UPS has displayed disdain and shameless disrespect for the workforce. They have refused to settle grievances, they are overworking drivers and our part-time members, they have failed miserably to deliver heat relief, and they are illegally trying to pay our members off. Our union’s actions Monday and Tuesday are just the beginning of an aggressive new chapter for the Teamsters at UPS. We will be UPS’s conscience.” In Louisville, the Teamsters’ strike threat pushed UPS to resolve grievances affecting workers at Worldport’s Aircraft Maintenance Distribution Center (AMDC). For more than a year, UPS has ignored or delayed grievances that would honor and preserve AMDC members’ work, regularly diverting airport distribution services to workers paid a lower rate. The affected members of Teamsters Local 89 will now handle all originally assigned work along with its sister union, Teamsters Local 2727, under a settlement agreement UPS acquiesced to late Monday night. In Chicago, Teamsters Local 705 achieved a first contract for administrative and specialist workers — a group similarly ignored by the delivery giant until strike lines were organized. The new classification of workers will be elevated to earn the top wage rate for their respective job duties. On Friday, as O’Brien made clear to UPS that the Teamsters Union was prepared to take a more militant approach to resolve worker mistreatment, the company bowed as well and agreed to settle outstanding grievances regarding seniority issues and workplace safety at Teamsters Local 20 in Toledo and Teamsters Local 455 in Denver. “There’s only one thing that UPS cares about and that’s money. Their behavior at the corporate level as of late proves it. Executive bonuses. Stock buybacks. These things are far more important to CEO Carol Tomé than the rights and livelihood of the men and women who deliver all those packages,” said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman. “Our members around the nation should be awfully proud of themselves for taking a stand against runaway corporate greed. UPS wasn’t ready, but behind the scenes the Teamsters were. Let this be a warning to UPS that in any state, at any facility, the Teamsters are prepared to fight back against continued abuse of our members.” While the Teamsters’ latest strike threat moved UPS to resolve myriad issues in several states, the logistics corporation is still violating the union’s National Master Agreement around the country. Since mid-July, UPS has bribed full-time drivers with illegal buyout offers to leave the company before retirement — another profit-fueled scheme being rejected by members. Under Article 18 of the Teamsters contract, UPS is obligated to deliver at least 28,000 vehicles equipped with air conditioning. The upgraded language marked a significant win for delivery workers, who face extreme heat conditions for months on-end to ensure the company remains successful. Halfway into the agreement, UPS is woefully behind, having rolled out far less than 10 percent of the required new fleet. Under Article 37, rank-and-file Teamsters are protected from being forced to work more than 9.5 hours per day — or UPS is required to pay significant penalties to compensate workers for the additional hazard and time. In the first six months of the year, UPS has already been forced to pay tens of millions of dollars in penalty wages to workers, despite the corporation’s disgusting attempts to pay off Teamsters to quit their jobs. Under Article 22, UPS is obligated to create at least 22,500 new full-time positions, but as with its heat relief measures, the multibillion-dollar company remains far behind. “The enforcement of our national contract must now only heat up. We need all members ready to punch back at a moment’s notice,” O’Brien said. “The Teamsters demand that UPS make good now on delivering thousands of additional vehicles with air conditioning to our local unions in Zone 1, the hottest working environments for delivery drivers in the nation. UPS is fully and finally out of time to do right by our members. No more excuses, no more delays.”

@FreedomConsumer If you listen to @TeamsterSOB talk to others & then how he describes her, you’ll realize he doesn’t like when someone talks to him the way he talks to others. Of course, her being a female POC has nooootbing to do with his anger, right? 🙄👌 hrdive.com/news/teamsters…

Just how crazy was Kamala? Listen to Teamsters president Sean O'Brien recount her "crazy behavior" during their meeting which ended with her making a public threat to members. 😳👇👇👇

@spectrexx007 @wisdriftmore @WallStreetApes Debt to income ratio & credit score aren’t only variables. How much does she have in savings? How long has she had an 800+ credit score? What price range is she looking at? Who bought & who owns the car? Valid questions that tell her reality better than a video for clicks/likes.

@wisdriftmore @WallStreetApes What's her debt to income ratio? That looks like a 60k car

American did all the right things. She went to school, became a Registered Nurse, she has $0 debt and an 808 credit score She just called trying to get a mortgage, she cant afford a mortgage payment If someone like this can’t even afford a mortgage, how can the average American

this right here. All of it. Starter homes are small, and "starterish" for a reason. Much like the minimum wage job at McDonalds was a stepping stone to better jobs, once you learn to do what you are told and show up, a starter home is where you learn all the things involved in home ownership. There is a lot. Bring back common sense.

@MsPanda007 @boston25 @CityofPeabodyMA @PeabodyMayor Maybe it's time @boston25 @WCVB @wbz @wbznewsradio @7News @NBC10Boston @bostonherald @BostonGlobe start asking questions, like why @PeabodyPolice @MassStatePolice are allowing it. You're right: it's an accident waiting to happen & with schools starting, it could involve a bus.

@ProWorkingMom @boston25 @CityofPeabodyMA @PeabodyMayor Traffic comes to a dead stop there every day. At both sites. The one up by Costco too. And the police are just standing around joking, laughing with them. If there hasn’t been already, there’s going to be an accident.

Gov. Healey demands Republic Services return to bargaining table as trash strike continues boston25news.com/news/local/gov…

Posts like these make @Teamsters25 demands for amnesty 😆🙄. So members are being "helped on the picket line against" company employees? @NLRB @NLRBGC has pretty simple rules against actions like these. For those not violating those rules, the dimwits that are are costing you $$.
