Working with people who trust and support you is more valuable than most pay raises when you switch jobs.

This is one lesson I’ve seen people learn the hard way over and over again.

Bigots should feel unsafe around you.

Fox Entertainment fired him for purely economic reasons, certainly not for any moral position.

So, what does McDonald's have to say about the franchisee that uses child slaves? Shouldn't they LOSE their right to own franchises?

“Investigators from the department’s Wage and Hour Division found two 10-year-old workers at a Louisville McDonald’s restaurant," said the Labor Department press release. “Investigators also determined two 10-year-old children were employed – but not paid – and sometimes worked as late as 2 a.m.”

So BlueSky forces every post to be sent to a proprietary AI service thing, because of course they do.

Where have I seen this before?

I don’t want to be the next Weimar Republic

We need to continually call out fascism heading into 2024 otherwise we will be.

So, basically the world is going to watch a member of a family get in a golden carriage, get some new jewels and a golden hat to signify he's in charge of that family and all their money.

Only in Republican world can a man assault a reporter, get convicted, and go on to be governor yet a woman named Zooey Zephyr can be a threat to a roomful of men just by talking and end up thrown out of the legislature.

So tired of these people with mouths full of scripture but hearts full of hate.

"The law school had long stood out for its rightward leanings and ties to conservative benefactors," the report explained. "Its renaming after Justice Scalia in 2016 was the result of a $30 million gift brokered by Leonard Leo, prime architect of a grand project then gathering force to transform the federal judiciary and further the legal imperatives of the right.

All this rigidity is a product of fascism. It doesn't have to be this or that. It can be all.

Pres Joe Biden announces his re-election bid, so of course Republicans assail VP Harris with sexist attacks. Sen Ted Cruz: "When [Putin & Xi] stand up and bully America...can you imagine her just cackling ineffectively and weirdly and creepily?"

I’m sharing this as a screenshot because I think the question from @BlackAzizAnansi and the two replies from @GWillow are easier to read together, in this order (as opposed to free floating, contextless, in your timeline).

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research (Wright 1979).

Scientists in India protest move to drop Darwinian evolution from textbooks.
“Scientists in India are protesting a decision to remove discussion of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution from textbooks used by millions of students in ninth and 10th grades.

Weight bias: Studies show that overweight women face a wage penalty, 16% for female execs. Overweight men are not penalized or earn more. Weight isn't a protected category in the US so discrimination is not illegal.

Statistical data shows the NUMBER ONE thing that threatens the safety of children in America is not:
drag queens
transgender health care
books or libraries
women’s health care
easy access to voting

It’s #guns! It’s the easy access to ammo and guns coupled with the toxic need for men to measure up to each other.

#ItsTheFuckingGuns

This happened just two days ago.
Another day in America.
