Genesis, a then-20-year-old, pregnant Amazon employee, says her manager wrote her up for sitting down and taking breaks.

Shortly thereafter, she says, her higher-ups gave her an ultimatum: Do your job the way we want you to do it, without the chair or without the breaks, or go on unpaid leave.

Does any1 use Oath 2donate 2Dem candidates?

I’d like 2donate but I no longer want 2use act blue. I’ve sent in some individual donations via mail but it’s time consuming.

Let me know whether you’d recommend Oath.

Thank you for all you do - we have to just keep at it and be ready to show everyday what this bill is doing and will do to people.
It is a bleak day

Many are dejected-concerned about what lies ahead

We must be ready to afford the utmost grace to those most harmed by the GOP’s egregious acts

Because an ounce of humanity can save a life; now more than ever

And please-continue to fight for the ideals of America

It matters

Imagine if the Dems had a ruthless leader like Mitch McConnell who could give a flying fuck abt decorum, norms or bipartisanship?

GOP/Q-MAGA (Russia) party have run roughshod over Dems w/little pushback except long, sternly written, legalese memos.

They are helping escorting us into a dictatorship

He wants to isolate us by controlling communication and it’s vital that we have a safe & secure means of communicating.
