Good thread. I am always thinking about how "constitutional sheriffs" rewrote Parks's story to fit their narrative.
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

More union-busting bullshit!

After a handful of years of increasing worker power/unwillingness to take or do shitty jobs, they’re now creating an atmosphere of fear in workplaces.

“Speak up and lose your job” seems to be the current mantra for leadership across industries.
Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Have you ever gone to pay your rent and there's a $3 fee on top of rent? Or maybe it costs $10 to pay with a credit card? Yeah. So that convenience/junk fee is actually illegal in several states.

Landlords do this all the time — but it's often illegal and makes the lease void.

PHILLY: Apparently there’s a protest “against gun violence scheduled to start at 3pm today and go from the Art Museum into Kensington. The chuds *will be armed and open-carrying* and several local schools have already sent students home out of caution. Cops are already at the Art Museum.

"by" implies multiply by .5 (i was taught by = x aka multiply)
"in half" would mean divide 90 in half

so there's 2 answers here depending on your rigidity to syntax but technically only one correct answer
What answer y’all get?

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

i was in the ER puking my brains out to the point of not being able to breathe/lips turning purple i can assure you i was not focused on anything but aiming my vomit into the bag
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

There are 2 Black Democratic Senators….. Imagine going along with this.
National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent.

Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it.
Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking.

look at this bullshit.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
