@JonFlan Great remarks on MSNOW. Anyone in media ever heard of the Saturday Night Massacre?

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@JonFlan Sorry Mr. Flannery, your take on Platner's primary win, by better than a 3-1 margin, is a rare case where I disagree.
He admits mistakes. When they go low, we go high, has failed. In my view Susan Collins lack of character and her corruption is much worse.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@JonFlan Still enjoying your posts and your insight and advice.
Happy Birthday!

@OleTimeHardball Ted Williams

@nut_history Under today's rules Williams hits .412 in 1941. Then sacrifice fly balls counted as a time at bat.

@rahiemshabazz Very good historical video on the roots of rock. However, Big Mama Thornton's great original recording of "Hound Dog" was written by two Jewish song writers, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

@BubbatheOG " Let the truth be known ". An amazing piece combining history and art in less than 50 seconds. Beautiful!

@queenie4rmnola Beautiful picture Dr. Wiltz. Keep up the excellent articles/history and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

@APWUnational I'm very proud of your time as an APWU advocate and our leader for 12 years. You have built and pushed our union and all Labor in the direction we need to go. I am thankful to have worked with you and to be a longtime friend and Brother. The best to you.

@JonFlan My one disagreement is your pro filibuster stance. Its history was to protect/expand slavery, and then to protect Jim Crow and great wealth. The GOP majority in the Senate represents millions fewer Americans than the Dems. Let them own this MAGA atrocity.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@JoJoFromJerz I may be wrong, but I wish people who ran for political office spoke as honestly and as bluntly as you do JoJo from Jerz.

@queenie4rmnola Many white Americans also supported fascism in the 1920s and 30s, especially business organizations and bankers. They had to shut the hell up after Pearl Harbor.

@ElieNYC Great as usual Mr. Mystal. I think your self control is amazing. When I get to a certain point with the Davids of North Carolina, it easily can end up with just four-letter words.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@Amorettemiller Great commercial spot.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@queenie4rmnola I sometimes go back to the Kerner Commission report of 1968. A detailed study with specific recommendations that needed to be implemented for a just society continues to be ignored. Instead, we keep electing people who promote racism.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@CentralLaborNYC Great work NYC CLC. Now demand Mario and the State Fed endorse Mamdani. You have the votes.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@RichRaho I do not want to hear from the Catholic Church about how inhumane Trump's immigration policies. Since 1973 (Roe), you abandoned them, with white Evangelicals, to elect" Pro-Life" politicians who are anti-worker, racist, and owned by the rich. Hypocrites!

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@RocRedWings Hey, Rochester Red Wings and fans, how about getting on the Democrat & Chronicles lack of coverage of the hometown team? Rarely an article and no box scores or standings. Sad.

[James V. Bertolone @BertrochJames]

@ElieNYC Great book, just like " Allow Me to Retort". Never have I read law in a way this interesting and enlightening.
