You're right, it was 2015, but as a simple layman I was aware of Russian meddling by the time this dinner happened. So if Jill and the Green party weren't aware of how bad this would look, and how worthless an olive branch to Putin would be, then at the very least they're too incompetent to be worth a vote. Unfortunately I did not know about this gaffe by the time of the election and even voted for Stein in that election, which I still regret.

To draw votes away from the Democratic party nominee at the behest of her Russian donors. NBC News Link about the infamous dinner.

I live in her district. She is an obvious Russian agent. I got a call from her campaign before her first election and they asked me "How important is improving trade and diplomatic relations between the US and Russia to you as a voter?"

Yeah, labor protections in the US are long past due for an upgrade, and if they can't strike then the process needs to be weighted in the workers favor a lot more.

Unfortunately he followed the law. The Railway Labor Act of 1926 prevents railroad workers from striking. They instead have to follow the exact process that was followed and continue working while in negotiation. As a rail worker, to go on strike is to quit your job.

Edit: After rereading, the RLA 1926 will allow for "self-help" remedies after a minimum of 60 days have elapsed from the time the National Mediation Board begins it's process. This allows 30 days of NMB mediation, followed by 30 days for a Presidential Emergency Board investigation, either of which can be extended and with the caveat that

The NMB can keep the parties in mediation indefinitely, so long as it feels there is a reasonable prospect for settlement.

I just hope I live to see a day when a grandchild asks me to tell them about how the Swifties defeated homegrown fascists and saved us all from the republican party and their enablers. I finally feel like the work is paying off and we can make some progress as a species, and for historians to remember Taylor Swift as the one who helped tip the scales it would make my day.

Garden cord has a slightly thicker shielding because it is designed to be outside for extended periods.

“It is not possible to overdose by touching or accidentally inhaling fentanyl, and the same would apply to non-human animals as well,” Leo Beletsky, a professor of law and health sciences at Northeastern University, told The Times on Saturday.

So the dog couldn't have inhaled it then if the story is to be believed because the dog isn't going to intentionally inhale it

Because the drug is poorly absorbed through the stomach, he said, an animal would probably have to ingest the substance through its nose in order to overdose.

Yeah, this is definitely a made up story as others have said. Dog is still lucky it wasn't shot on account of it being a dog near police though.
