It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

It's not hard

this gives me a good idea: i'll try to keep a running thread of things that are union-busting that you might not know are union-busting.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

These are not politically significant at all. Zero impact on elections. Let's maybe talk about Gaza, AI, and crypto, which we know are having an impact.

And with zero impact on any election ever, as opposed to the actual problem of many Democrats' complicity in Gaza, Crypto/AI, and general corporate fuckery

Somehow, I doubt Breshears will demand that Ken Martin release the DNC autopsy.

Autopsy Says Corporate Capture, Support for Genocide Were Key Factors in Democrats' 2024 Disaster | Common Dreams "Harris and the Democratic Party leadership prioritized the agendas of corporate donors and gambled on a centrist path, while largely abandoning working-class, young, and progressive voters."

Why are presidential wannabes still out here talking about the groups when the DNC is covering up this autopsy of 2024?

Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines

Big news about PROTEC17 stepping up for its CARE team workers and filing an unfair labor practice. Particularly brave to take on SPOG in this way.

Just a reminder that disliking Platner does not require liking Mills.

The realest thing about Paradise Season 2 is when Presley barely survives a nuclear meltdown, is then reunited with her mom after 3 years apart where she was presumed dead, and just runs off to make out with her boyfriend.

Lowkey?

the war is not operating under "just war" doctrine.

This administration is like a mashup of Birth of a Nation, Dr. Strangeglove, Veep, and Scandal.

Trump called the play: “Get David Ellison in charge right away”

That’s the executive branch handing a media empire to a billionaire ally

I mean it's not the minimum wage that causes increased injuries. It's employer neglect and disempowered workers.
