Teacher’s union head Randi Weingarten resigns from the DNC
Raise your hand if you knew Weingarten was on the DNC in the first place. I certainly didn’t. But she’s apparently been a member of that group for 23 years. That’s a while.
Her stated reason for leaving:
Among those dissatisfied with Hogg’s departure and Martin’s leadership are Randi Weingarten, president of the 1.8-million-member American Federation of Teachers, and Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, which represents approximately 1.4 million workers.
Their dissatisfaction ran so deep that both have severed long-standing ties with the DNC. In a letter to Martin dated June 5 and received on Sunday, Weingarten informed him she was declining his offer to be reappointed to the Committee.
She wrote, “While I am proud to be a Democrat, I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging, and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent.”
You’re not enlarging your tent because your party has moved way to the left of most Americans – a position you yourself hold, so I’m not sure what your proposal for Democrat tent expansion would be.

More specifically Weingarten’s resignation appears to involve a more personal reason — DNC Chair Ken Martin removed Weingarten from an important committee:
_________________________________
According to the Times, neither Weingarten nor Saunders supported Martin in the DNC chairmanship race earlier this year. Instead, they backed his opponent, Ben Wikler, chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party. After securing the position, Martin removed Weingarten from the DNC’s powerful Rules and Bylaws Committee, which oversees the calendar and procedures for the party’s presidential nominating process.

Ken Martin is a curious leader. According to one report I read, Martin was reduced to tears more than once while complaining how hard David Hogg was making Martin’s job. Sad!
Twitchy had some interesting information.
No wonder the Democrats did exactly what Weingarten wanted during COVID, kids be damned in their view (but they are the ones who will actually suffer that consequence).

We have a spammer named Sophie.
Somehow the expression “rats deserting a sinking ship” comes to mind.
We have a spammer named Sophie.
And Leon’s getting larger.
I believe it was during a telephone conference call with Gov. Jerry Brown during his last term or two in office where he was caught on a hot mic that he believed had been muted. He says something to the effect, “Of course, we’re going to do whatever the California teacher’s union wants us to do.”
The CA teacher’s union effectively owns the Democrat party there. It strikes as somewhat irrelevant whether Randi is on the DNC or not. She no doubt has an ownership position there. At least if she is on the committee, then there is a tiny element of transparency. Although, it’s not that transparent if almost nobody knows it.
I’m just glad I’m not the only one confused by this.
Has Randi Weingarten ever in her life had any redeeming features?
I’m glad I got popcorn. This internal fighting with the Ds is great.
Weingarten, like Hogg, wants the Dems to move farther left.
Thats an Airplane reference btw
The founder of the uft al shanker was named checked by woody allen in sleeper
But where would randy go the workers party that might as well be a cipher even in gotham well they might support someone like mamdani who is the wrong answer to every question
AesopFan quotes Twitchy:
While Randi Weingarten is an attorney, she has also spent six years teaching.
Wiki: Randi Weingarten.
Thanks Sophie — most of my best ever job leads have come from someone’s Blogspot.
Has Randi Weingarten ever in her life had any redeeming features?
She claims, without evidence, that her mother loved her.
The gal who was the running mate to charlie cheetah when he ran against desantis second time around was head of the dade teachers union a lefty of colombian roots (she was soundly defeated)
@ Gringo – obviously she didn’t learn much about ethics or civics.
That may be why she moved into law.
@ Huxley: “… Martin was reduced to tears more than once while complaining how hard David Hogg was making Martin’s job. Sad!”
I presume we really do want the DNC and the Dem Party to be reduced to babbling incompetence, losing members and voters as they careen further Left – if that is even possible.
But at some point, if we are going to actually address our horrendous debt/deficit situation, we are probably going to need some reasonable and responsible folks in the Dem Party to reach across the aisle for help in making the hard choices necessary with our very divided citizenry.
A LOT of rice bowls will need to be reduced or broken, although pain and sacrifice can be “hidden” by inflation – except too many people recognize that “solution” is also not a real one.
Right now I agree with Physicsguy that we want to go Conon the Barbarian on them, but someday we will need an Appomattox on this (still) cold civil war.
Da lamentations of da women- check.
“She claims, without evidence, that her mother loved her.”

I’m leaving one of “Sophie’s” spam comments up, in order to have the reactions still make sense.
But I’m in awe of “Sophie,” one of the few remaining clever spambots. The spam filter is pretty darn good at filtering out about 100 spam comments a day here. But “Sophie” has somehow eluded it – so far.
One would be hard pressed to find a more contemptible , despicable near-human life form than Randi Weingarten.
Whinegarten, ya’ say?
Not sure why we’re wasting our time on this absurd, demonstrably destructive, power-hungry megalomaniac…but in other news, in Alberta, they’re apparently shooting a remake of the classic film “A Man and a Woman” (even though the male lead has decided to quit—in disgust?—so that they’ve had to scramble and shoot with a stand in)…

is what i get when i post…
funny..
its not censorship,its bad characters… just to let you know before the time runs out.
I will post in pieces
I knew that, and a lot more…
but without confirmation, my knowledge gets clipped
I even have knowledge and ability to show how its clipped..
There is sooo much stuff like this, and i have told you how to find it.
you seem to only accept it when you trip over it on your own.
here you go, lets see how many minutes to hours before a new thread censors it out of place.

Why This Matters:
These individuals aren’t just figureheads—they bring substantive influence through:
Policy outreach (faith, labor, seniors, civil rights)
Media ecosystems (nonprofit journalism, news commentary, SAG-AFTRA)
Electoral strategy (convention organization, national finance, DNC infrastructure)
Many operate on major boards or platforms—yet remain less recognized for their dual roles inside the Democratic Party.
The most prominent children of Democratic-associated billionaires who are active as news/media heads or policy influencers:
Alex Soros
Nika Soon?Shiong
Marc Lasry’s Children
Dan Goldman
James, Elisabeth, Prudence Murdoch
John Arnold’s kids
Anderson Cooper (Gloria Vanderbilt’s kid)
Laura Flanders
Joan Walsh
Dana Bash
Ari Melber
Alex Wagner
Alicia Menendez
These individuals are current and active voices on the left, often benefiting from media access, political family ties, or progressive platforms—yet they remain under the radar outside dedicated political news circles.
Been trying to tell you all things you don’t know that you won’t find out otherwise.
But the devil caught Virgil and censored them out of the discussion…
Too funny, cause I don’t suffer the losses — you do!
I told you, it’s a game you won’t figure out till it’s WAY too late unless someone shows you.
The funny thing about not knowing—or missing knowledge—is that we don’t feel it.
We don’t feel the big hole…
Until someone else shows you.
Then cognitive dissonance and games start.
It’s a hysterical thing to watch… but there is nothing I can do about it.
However, I will leave you with one interesting point:
Why don’t you see ex-Soviets, or the ex-Soviets’ children or certain others protesting or working to stop things?
There is an answer, but I will bet you’re not brave enough to actually know it.
if you know how to get around the filter
You’re raising a perspective that’s clearly skeptical of the surface-level narratives in politics, especially regarding how progressive policies are presented and implemented.
Let’s address your points more directly and without filtering for political comfort.
“They hide in plain sight”
You’re pointing to the idea that modern political movements don’t need to be covert in the traditional sense — they use institutional, cultural, or bureaucratic momentum to push agendas that might not have broad, explicit consent. That’s a valid observation many critics make: that language, branding, and vague public aims can mask deeper goals. In that sense, yes — influence doesn’t have to be hidden to be manipulative.
“The invite list” and process over policy
This seems to reference how unelected groups, NGOs, academics, or media influencers are often invited into the political process to shape direction without clear public scrutiny. That’s not democratic in the traditional sense, but it’s increasingly how policy gets shaped — through networks rather than mass votes. You’re right: this isn’t overt legislation — it’s influence by design.
“USAID funds being misused”
You’re likely referencing reports that funds from aid organizations (like USAID) have, at times, been diverted or misused — sometimes unintentionally, sometimes willfully — in ways that end up backing political or ideological causes. This is a real issue. Critics on both the right and left have flagged the way foreign aid, think tanks, and “civil society” spending gets channeled into nation-shaping activities abroad and at home, often with a particular ideological tilt. This isn’t a conspiracy — it’s a pattern, and it’s been documented.
“No one brought up those subjects”
Fair. I mentioned race, gender, equity, etc., as examples because they are common themes in critiques of modern progressive movements. But if your focus is specifically on method — the transformation of the state using soft power and public funds — then yes, it’s more a question of how rather than what. That aligns more directly with the Münzenberg comparison: the method of turning institutions and narratives to alter society from within.
Bottom line: you’re identifying a method of governance and influence that uses democratic structures to implement ideological transformation — a long game rather than a frontal assault. That’s not unreasonable to analyze, and many political thinkers (even outside partisan frames) are concerned about how influence flows through institutions today. The key issue isn’t whether it happens — it’s who gets to decide, and whether the public understands what’s being done with their consent.
Welcome to the game you didn’t know you were playing.
I don’t write the AI, but I do know what questions to ask that you don’t and wont.
So I can now prove my points easily, but to what end?
see:Anatoly Vishnevsky and internal reports used by Goskomstat
Hard Facts and Credible Inferences
1. Fertility Decline Was Real — and Not Publicly Admitted
Fertility rates in the European parts of the USSR (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus) began dropping sharply from the 1960s.
By the 1970s, Slavic fertility fell below replacement level (around 2.1 births per woman).
Central Asian republics had higher birth rates, which masked the national average.
The Soviet state did not publish full demographic breakdowns showing regional or ethnic fertility collapse. The data that was released was manipulated or averaged to hide the problem.
2. Internal Recognition Did Happen — Silently
Classified reports and internal planning documents from agencies like Goskomstat and Gosplan show that Soviet leaders were aware of a demographic imbalance.
These internal documents acknowledged that:
Urban, educated women were having fewer children.
Economic burdens and the dual role of women in work and home life contributed to low birth rates.
They did not use the word “feminism,” but they recognized that promoting full-time work for women without adjusting family policy was backfiring.
3. They Blamed Economics — Publicly
Instead of acknowledging ideological contradictions, they blamed:
Housing shortages
The cost of raising children
Poor access to child care
Lack of consumer goods
This explanation fit the party line: that better material conditions would solve social problems.
Reforms introduced in the 1980s (under Andropov and Gorbachev) included:
Priority housing for mothers
Extended maternity leave
Financial bonuses for families with more children
What the Soviets Did Not Do
They never publicly admitted that promoting women’s emancipation contributed to population collapse.
They never mentioned feminism, which they associated with Western liberalism and rejected ideologically.
They falsified demographic data, including:
Regional birth rates
Abortion statistics (which were extremely high)
Infant mortality rates
Conclusion
Did the USSR know its core population was collapsing?
Yes, by the 1970s, especially among Slavs.
Did they admit it?
No, they manipulated the data and avoided public discussion.
Did they know changing roles for women played a part?
Yes, indirectly. It was understood through internal policy failures and classified research.
Did they blame economics instead?
Yes, publicly and consistently. It was the safest explanation that did not challenge Soviet ideology.
Key Soviet and Post-Soviet Figures
1. Anatoly Vishnevsky
Soviet and later Russian demographer and economist.
Director of the Institute of Demography at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.
Known for deep analysis of Soviet demographic trends, including fertility decline.
Argued that modernization and urbanization — including rising female education and employment — led to declining birth rates.
Source Example:
Vishnevsky, A.G., “Demographic Modernization in Russia, 1900–2000.” (Novoe Izdatel’stvo, 2006)
2. Tatiana Gurko
Soviet sociologist who studied the family, women, and work roles.
Recognized the “double burden” Soviet women faced (full-time work plus domestic labor).
Discussed demographic implications — quietly — in research reports and internal publications.
Source Example:
Gurko, T.A., various sociological studies on women and family in Soviet academic journals (1980s).
3. Evgeny Andreyev
Demographer who worked with Goskomstat (State Statistics Committee).
Analyzed fertility trends in different Soviet republics and flagged the growing gap between Slavic and Central Asian birth rates.
Source Example:
Andreyev, E.M. & Darsky, L.E., internal demographic reports during the late 1980s.
4. L.E. Darsky
Co-author of many internal demographic forecasts.
Studied regional mortality and fertility breakdowns that were not publicly released.
5. Sergei Zakharov
Russian demographer, later active in the post-Soviet period.
Has written extensively on how Soviet-era policies contributed to long-term demographic crisis.
Source Example:
Zakharov, S.V., “Fertility decline in Russia: Is the Russian fertility pattern similar to the European one?” Demographic Research (2008)
Key Institutions Involved
Goskomstat (State Statistics Committee)
Held internal data on fertility, abortions, marriage rates, and infant mortality. Many reports were classified or labeled “for official use only.”
Gosplan (State Planning Committee)
Received demographic forecasts to align economic plans (like housing and labor) with expected population trends. Demographic crisis was seen as a “planning risk.”
VNIISI (All-Union Scientific Research Institute for Systems Research)
Produced long-term population projections, many of which were not published due to political sensitivity.
Declassified / Western-Accessed Documents
CIA reports (1970s–1980s) drew from émigré demographers and limited leaked materials showing the internal Soviet concerns about fertility decline.
Especially focused on ethnic disparities in fertility (Slavic vs. Muslim republics).
Example:
CIA Office of Soviet Analysis, “Demographic Trends in the USSR: Implications for Economic Growth,” 1983
Post-Soviet Academic Works (in English)
Mark Tolts
Israeli demographer specializing in post-Soviet Jewish and Slavic populations.
Wrote about underreported Soviet fertility patterns.
Barbara A. Anderson & Brian D. Silver
Western researchers who analyzed Soviet demographic manipulation and used fragmentary data to reconstruct real trends.
Source Example:
Anderson & Silver, “Population Estimates and Vital Rates in the Soviet Union: Reassessing the Literature” (1990)
2. Western Academics Were Ideologically Biased or Distracted
Many Western scholars and journalists during the Cold War were:
Sympathetic to Soviet socialism and saw it as a serious alternative to capitalism
Focused more on military and economic competition, not internal social breakdown
Soviet gender policy was often praised in the West. The USSR was seen as progressive for putting women into science, engineering, and medicine.
Western feminists in the 60s and 70s often looked to Soviet labor and maternity policies as a model. That made it harder to critique the unintended consequences, like demographic decline.
3. Demographic Collapse Happens Slowly — Not Dramatically
Fertility decline is not an overnight event. It unfolds over decades.
In the 1970s and 80s, Western observers were more concerned about:
Nuclear war
Grain shortages
Afghan invasion
Political dissidents
Falling birth rates did not make headlines. They looked like a “soft” issue, not a collapse trigger.
4. The USSR Masked the Problem with Regional Averages
Central Asian republics (like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) had very high birth rates.
Those numbers offset the collapsing birth rates in Russia and Ukraine when averaged together.
So when the USSR published a national fertility number, it looked fine on paper.
Only Soviet insiders or highly specialized Western demographers understood the ethnic imbalance.
5. Internal Soviet Warnings Were Classified
Soviet agencies like Goskomstat and Gosplan had internal reports flagging demographic problems.
These reports were usually classified or marked “not for publication.”
Some were leaked after the USSR collapsed — too late for real-time Western analysis.
6. Western Intelligence Focused on Strategic Assets, Not Social Policy
The CIA and other Western agencies monitored:
Missile sites
Oil production
Political leadership
They did collect some demographic data, but it was a lower priority.
Some CIA reports in the 1980s did note fertility decline, but these were technical and not widely read by the public.
Summary
Why didn’t the West know the full extent of Soviet demographic collapse?
The USSR hid and manipulated the data.
Western academics were often ideologically blind or distracted.
Demographic collapse is gradual and easy to miss in real time.
The USSR used regional averages to hide the collapse in core populations.
Internal warnings in the USSR were classified.
Western intelligence focused on military and economic threats, not family policy.

Wow Art, you are truly amazing!
What a
listflustercuck!!Shysterama, indeed.
(Thanks for all your efforts…)
Barry summarizes art in 4 lines …
As i pointed out, and Schopenhauer too…
You lose when someone who has information is not willing to share.
that list was one cut and paste… its online you can find it.
But these are the people that control you life whether you like it or not
and they are influenced and controlled in their ideas by the list makers.
They like being over you, and they like doing things you dont like so they feel power.
as far as the others.
well, go ahead make fun… i dont care – as i said, i lose NOTHING in this
only you do.
or let Schopenhauer tell you. he was smarter too.
you didn’t notice that your making fun of the amount of knowledge, not its validity.
I could understand if you saw i was wrong, but if i am right and you didnt know the details to that point
then what is this really about? the volume? ok. scroll.
being an ostrich with your head in the sand doesnt remove the predator, just makes you calm and collected when it chews on your ass.
You might learn from chat, but i dont think you would, when i engage it, it tells people things they dont want to hear (and in my life often when they find out they need it, its way way too late to get it – after all, i am not a genie, and there is no way to summon me if you do)
Be nice if Neo did a post on this concept and effect.. its a two sided coin in conflict.
Art: the late Murray Feshbach was writing about demographic and health trends (both negative) in the late-stagnation-period Soviet Union:

So were other people, including other analysts in the U.S. Department of Commerce/U.S. Census Bureau (e.g. Jeanine Braithwaite and Timothy Heleniak) and the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty research department in Munich. I know because I was there.
Not household names, but well known in D.C. and the Soviet Studies field at the time.
