The AFL-CIO Rally For 'Workers' Rights' Will Make You Wish You Had Neither Eyes Nor Ears

Posted • August 30, 2025: Who's up for a challenge? The challenge is simple, yet might be the most difficult you have ever faced. It goes like this: The video of an AFL-CIO rally for 'workers' rights' in Washington, DC, is four minutes and forty-two seconds long. If you can make it through the entire clip -- heck, if you can make it through even half -- without reaching for the nearest set of knitting needles to jam into your eyes and ears like a modern-day Oedipus, you win. Watch … if you dare. —— Is anyone still with us? Anyone? Bueller, how about you? God bless you if you are. This writer has been told that there are big prizes for all survivors. [Editors' Note: There are no prizes.] OK, so there aren't prizes. But at least you know now that you can survive any diabolical torture concocted in the worst dungeon in the world if you survived that viewing.

We're not sure where to start. Not only is nearly everyone singing (and we use that word very loosely) older than Biden and Pelosi combined, but they are as tone deaf as Carl Lewis belting out the national anthem. And the crowd (we use that word loosely, too) all look like they've been trapped in a hostage film. We'll let X take it from here. —— I can't tell if this is performance art, or a struggle session… 🤣 The answer is to embrace the power of 'AND.' We can't believe it went on as long as it did. Everyone responsible should be tried for war crimes in The Hague. —— Instead of looking to take back their dignity at Whole Foods, they should have taken the organic celery. They need more fiber. Whole Foods was just one of the targets of their cringe performance. After the songs ended, they marched on Le Diplomate, a landmark DC restaurant in Logan Circle, to demand that the staff there be allowed to unionize -- even though the majority of the staff has indicated that they don't want to join a union.

It was also pretty funny when these barely mobile octogenarians sang about how they were going to 'roll over' ICE if the agents got in their way. Someone really needs to roll on over some of the Visiting Angels for them. (…)
