so the soviet union was not present at byline. the soviet union did not top end. the 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus one of river lucian on the bus 10 of change, which also become people designed from the new york. and of course, we know that from 1900 on 17 of cost in the fast, why do all the role of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war $2.00? when the court will then came into the every now and we could very easily talk of by putting a lot of the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 done for this through to 1950 is on the ultimate to 1906 to the not to lie was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons. if you look at the african national congress in south africa, many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union. not only for you do a logical reasons, but for support financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support on business, eastern side to be made.

the soviet union did not top ended 3030 that was blaming the soviet union was seen as the bus can of revolution on the bus june of change, which african peoples designed from the cologne, new york. and of course, we know that from 1900 on 17 of cost in the fast, why do all the role of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war 2. when the card was then came into the arena and we could very easily talk of by paula awyle, the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 on for this through to 1950 is under ultimately 1906 is the not trying to lie. was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons. if you look at the african national congress in south africa, many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union not only live full if you are not, you could reasons, but for support, financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support on dispositions had to be made. so when you look at south africa, you'll find that there was a v

that's why from that to the soviet union. the soviet union was being seen at the time. i believe that of based on when we talk about soviet union, we must also remember at that time the great influence in countryside does hungry countryside. just portland countryside, just in germany on when this color ships to i've been granted the movement to based there was a lot of people from different parts of africa who then found themselves going to society in more school and in saint petersburg, at the behest of the soviet union, and that in itself grow naturally because the freedom fighters of the day on one can name the one for name gum. i've the nicer when gum i didn't master was over throwing them one king bed group. he inclined to watch the soviet union and didn't did when the swan hi dawn was being built. it is the soviets who actually find on the building of the us one item. and the q was also taken by form in chrome. when gun adi gained independence in 1957, one of the things that's happened is that you wanted to build the cost of them without out of costs. at that time

i'm san francisco mayor london breed and so glad to be here to couch the annual safe shopper and in union square this holiday season (clapping.) and i wanted to thank is all the folks joining us here today some you'll hear from in a moment i want to take an opportunity to acknowledge this amazing hotel more than one hundred years old 2 a hundred employees and a vibrate part of san francisco thank you for allowing us to host this press conference here today to talk about the things that that san francisco has planned for this holiday season. some of those things are fun, but, of course, some of those things are to make sure that we people are safe while shopping and having fun, i want to say based on the partnering with the union square alliance done great things closing down the streets to allow for holiday lanes where people have hot cocoa and move around a little bit more than easily and also joy the public streets and spaces in a way that invites in the holiday season already as a tree let's and thanks to macy's and starting to look beautiful in downtown last night a great restaurant f

i tell people everywhere i go, thank a union member. thank a union member. you may not be a member of a union, but thank a union member if you've got a 9-to-5 work week, for your sick leave, for your paid vacation leave, for paid family leave, because it is union members network and put blood, sweat and tears into raising the condition of the american worker, wherever they work. [applause] and collective bargaining benefits our entire nation. i have tried to explain this to folks. here's the thing about collective bargaining. i'm going to break it down. to people who are not here, i said, look, in any negotiation, we'd want the outcome to be fair. alright. so if you are talking about the worker, one worker against the company, against the corporation, is that outcome going to be fair? no. the disparity in power is so extreme, that negotiation, if you are just requiring that worker to negotiate for better working conditions, better benefits, fair pay, it's not going to be fair. collective bargaining says, let the collective, the workers, who all stand in the

union and get an elected position the union, and start influencing the policies of the and use the union your political tool to exercise power and to scale your own power as a worker. so, you know, one of the things i love about the labor movement is, that it is extremely accessible to just about everybody and if you're not in a union, you should organize wherever work. if you're in a union, get involved a union, make it better, kick their -- and make them organize more and do good things. yeah, i'm just on that too. i mean, i think absolutely what hamilton said, you know, unions can be a force of reactionary in some cases, too, right? this is the distinction. we make reactionary solidarity, transformative? there's forms of solidarity that are exclusive to solidarity. white supremacist, ethno nationalist. right. so unions can be a places where, you know, they're anti-armor, where they're upholding that that of the white working class and their terrains to struggle over. right that we should those institutions and fight to make them forces progress so yeah i'm in a panel in this room abou

and there are many people trying to save the union and save the union. of course, lincoln is very clear that he will let the confederacy go. he will try to keep the union together and will not break the republican party's pledge on making sure certain things happen. although there are various attempts to save the union by making slavery permanent where it exists, including an original 13th amendment. so there's lot of maneuvering in this election to try to prevent long term damage and it's you know, it's a it's a very fraught moment for the united states that ends up producing four years of bloody, bloody, bloody battle. 750,000 dead and the freedom of million enslaved people. well, you mentioned that vice president john breckinridge oversaw the electoral count on february 13th, 1861. when you look at the results, he was the runner up when it came to electoral votes, even though he only got 18% of the vote. stephen douglass got a third of the vote, but only 12 electoral votes. was that of any surprise to anyone? but he oversaw it. i think i think. no, i

workers, supporting unions.as in new york, new york, illinois, california, the cost is always higher because there's upward pressure on negotiation and settlements that they make. people like independent truckers who don't want to be in a union because they can make more money on their own, there are a lot of tradesmen out there, independent tradesmen running excellent businesses and making a lot of money without being unionized. there's a bit of confusion in republican conservative circles over what do we mean about workers and the middle class. paul: that is related to your judgment of why trump won. the prounion, unions were neutral, therefore trump won but the reason he won workers and exit polling shows this was inflation. the fact their real wages went down under biden. >> if you go back to the obama administration this has been a trend, non-college-educated whites, moving to republicans for the last 15 years and some of that is cultural issues. it has been supercharged by inflation and you see that among

it's a story of many union workers working for decades. my dad lost a pension in wilmington, delaware. the same kind of homes. we had four kids living there. i remember how restless my dad was. my brothers were in that room. i said what's the matter? they just lost a pension. we enacted the american rescue plan to do a lot more than this pension for the most significant economic relief package in the history of america. delivered immediate relief to folks who need it most but not a single -- this is what change. i look like i'm 40 but i'm a little old. all kidding aside, we used to have real differences in the senate but at least one of the critical things we did of getting together. this is a different deal. not a single solitary republican in the house or the senate. not one voted to help with the pensions. not one. no, no, it's not so much about. it's the way things have gotten. you know, it's like you either vote the right way or one guy wants it or you're in trouble. it's wrong. it's not who the hell we are. i believe a lot of those r

settlement union workers working for decades to raise a family.and down in delaware and the suburban area or building like the same kind of homes, it was a decent home but we had four kids living there and a grandpa. i remember how restless my dad was one night because my wall, my bedroom was up against his , me and my two brothers. i asked the next morning said what's the matter? dad just lost his pension. just lost his pension. from paycheck to paycheck for dignified retirement. knowing it when the time comes for that pension that you've earned, it will be there. it's critical just for peace of mind. it has impacts on how marriages are working, on how families hold together when you have that knowledge because there's so much pressure. but then to retire and find out all of those years of working and sacrifice are slashed all because of no fault of your own. imagine what this does financially to your dignity. it's wrong, it's just simply wrong. it should never have happened never. to be made whole again, lives and pension restored. what they're

it's the story of dissent in the soviet union starting in the 1960s through the soviet union's collapse. the movement that began then captured the world's imagination and the first movement for civil and human in the socialist world. it consisted of a rather improbable array of individuals who came together to demand essentially that the kremlin obey its own laws. they held unauthorized public gatherings, petitioned in support of arrested intellectuals, and circulated uncensored, typewritten texts. a few dissidents gained worldwide fame. and, you know, you'll, i'm sure, recognize their names. people like glauber, nobel laureates, andre sakharov and alexander solzhenitsyn. but but those individuals weren't the movement. it's a driving forces, actually. a number of others were in many of those involved remain virtually unknown today. the dissidents were subjected to exile, bogus trials, vicious press campaigns and sentences in psychiatric hospitals and labor camps. and they were all but crushed by the early 1980s, some emerged again later that same decade, during the heady days of mikhail

that's why here in the prague union said pennsylvania when the most union friendly in american historyome one of our own, president joe biden. [applause] [applause] i'm not him. i am not him. [laughter] i am not him. good afternoon everyone. my name i then brush up on some sunday with my wife and two children. i bet you a cw 1776 member for 36 years. i've had the honor of being the shop steward at mysore 3788. when i first became a shop steward i would also get hits from senior unit members from hinge on what's going on with the pension? going to a few meetings and gathered information i have the answers, they were not good. our pension was about to become insolvent. in late 2025 or early 26. the only chance of fixing that was to get the butch lewis act passed part of the problem: kong with donald trump as a president that's virtually impossible. 2020 there suddenly hope with election joe biden and kamala harris for the first major piece of legislation they did was the american rescue plan for the american rescue plan provided funding for distribution and costume is all the child tax c

i'm going to be in the union. but, and that's telling me that if these 2 joined, the problem is not the uh, uh, the unit deal. reese, is it these to join the idea to join the weight of it? bill king thing scheme. everyone can see what the union is most welcome to join. these vision is as soon as they are read through, we can see the current approach. what we did say, brooks expand significantly this year with many other countries, also expressing interest in the blog. so what do you think would entice you states to engage with some friends, despite the strained relations that it has with some of the members of rick? well, you know, in the previous, the case of the union, the north atlantic alliance, nato g 7 is a group of mind. the countries have not had it as tentative in business calls, the route was forced to choose between. just to turn the tips either to join the investor alliances or not so joint and no search is there and it seems to go to existing during create a long period of time. now this is sort of hi

it's the story of defense of the soviet union starting in 1962 the soviet union and the movement that began to capture the world's imagination it was the first movement for civil and human rights in the socialist world. an improbable outbreak of individuals who came together to demand that the kremlin obey its own laws. they held unauthorized publicc gatherings and they arrested intellectuals and circulated uncensored unwritten tests. he gained worldwide fame and i'm sure you'll recognize their names one nobel laureate andrew sakharov that were mentioned as individuals were the driving forces and the number of others were in many involved remain virtually unknown today. they were subjected to exile dishes press campaigns in psychiatric hospitals in labor camps. and they were all but crushed by the early 1980s. that same decade during the happy days of mikhail gorbachev the left authoritarian post-soviet russia has long sincein evaporator. and most of those involved and have been forgotten. theme of the book and the highlight into history indeed at the time when thear authoritarianism

that took alabama out of the union. the fact that so many of them were anti secession reflected fact that even the most pro confederate historians at alabama acknowledge that in 1860, at least half of the white people of alabama opposed secession. that's among the many stories that have been buried in the lost cause inundation of civil war history. getting back to my family, my mother is from a county nine known as the free state of winston because it produced only 100 bales of cotton and had even fewer slaves in the in the last year before the war. and they were only not participants in the slave economy but they were jacksonian democrats not to be confused with stephen douglas, pro-slavery democrat of the 1860 election, jacksonian democrats harkened back to andrew comment in 1842, john c calhoun run the union, sir, must be preserved their core principle. was that the constitutional union was too sacred a thing to be broken up over the issue of slavery, not to dwell too long on history. but the thing i should about my

if you and it was true of the soviet union. the soviet union had had laws and guarantees of human rights that were more impressive than the bill of rights to the us constitution. but it was all a sham and it's similar with russia today. laws are drafted to make it a crime for example, a lot of the political opponents of of putin in the kremlin have been arrested for treason and, you know, casting aspersions on the russian military, they draft laws in a way that in the united states legal system would be unenforceable because there are so vague with that is the beauty of from putin's perspective, he can pick and choose his security services. the fsb. he can pick and choose what behavior laws we want to prosecute and what will ignore. it happened during covid. anybody who was protesting for or against a matter that the kremlin didn't approve of. would be the protests would have to be broken up with the protesters themselves arrested because they were enforcing covid restrictions at public health. this is my god. i mean, please, p

my problem with -- you have too much authority in the union, because you have a program like the union i was in, you can work two days and i can get a doctors excuse and come back the third day. you can't fire anybody. what trump did with the v.a., he made it to where you are not doing your job you can get fired. at the v.a., we had to wait for months to get an appointment. stand in the line, pause on the phone, they ignore you. we have people come in in wheelchairs. good, make them responsible. if you don't make them responsible, you ruin the government. that is one of the main problems. it will never be solved until you get these unions in line. i was there and i saw it. that will make the federal government run so bad and they will never get it right until they get the unions do what they want them to do. host: what do you think? guest: there have been complaints for many years, decades, that it is too hard to fire federal employees because

dozens of union workers rallied outside terminal two. these are service workers contracted with multiple airlines. the airport was recently approved to upgrade its terminals and build a new one, and workers are demanding not to be left behind. they say their pay barely covers rent or health care, and many fear the expansion will bring more pollution and health issues to east oakland. the union has support from oakland councilwoman nikki fortunato bass. i am standing in solidarity with them today to make sure that as the airport expands, that they also are able to ensure that they have quality jobs for themselves and their families. the union says most of its workers make less than $20 an hour, and pay much of their health care out of pocket. we've reached out to the airlines for a response. southwest did get back to us, saying they had ratified agreements with its union group since 2022. if you've got a side hustle and get paid mostly online, you might get a surprise during tax season. it's called form 1099 k. this is a big deal for anyo

unions would be a union of every worker that industry skilled unskilled. there probably weren't really any that were literally unskilled but there were different levels of skill right and so this is just part of a very detailed chart the iww created. but just shows you, you know, here under service and lumbering, all of, say, all workers and words in the forest, they divided them up by different industries. and that's how they would organize this broader union. but all of the workers in those industries would be would be part of that union. and in addition to trying to organize all workers within a union skilled and unskilled, the iww wanted to organize all workers regardless of things like gender or race or ethnicity. again, was not something that was true. the american federation of labor, who excluded most african-american ones, excluded a lot of women, excluded chinese and other workers, in addition to excluding unskilled. so the iww is interested in organizing all workers. it doesn't matter what race or, what race or whether you're a man or woman. and

unremitting kind support of the soviet union? the hungarian popular democracy see, and i may add all other popular democracies would never have been created and quote, harping on capitalist imperialism, red satirized alleged warmongers. in 1956, the world learned the meaning of the unremitting crimes of the soviet union. russians go home now. the hungarian people are in revolt. they succeed in, overwhelming the red forces and hold the upper hand for a few days. and through ruse and treachery, catching the hungarian freedom fighters totally unaware the russians counterattack end the short lived wrath of hungarian. in view of the acts of subjugation which we have just witnessed, supervise by khrushchev. it is difficult to understand this quote from stalin the people are small nations are frightened needlessly of soviet oppression. if the soviet union would undertake to oppress or influence nations, it would betray the ideology of lenin, unquote. words are one thing actions another. lenin advised his, and i quote in the last analysi
