This is a propaganda masterpiece. Tens of millions of people who know nothing about politics will see this & when TiKTok is back Trump will take full credit (& a huge kickback) & no one will care the ban was his idea in the first place. An idea an idiot cadre of elderly Dems went along with. 🤡 💩

This reminds me of how @moiradonegan.bsky.social pointed out that a lot of trad femininity rhetoric aimed at women today about leaving higher ed and the workforce is also more akin to pining for childhood as an adult
Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

when the time comes & this bill has a number or is rolled into a rules package, we absolutely need cis folks to call reps about this. even GOP reps.
if 1 democrat lets this go without a fight, a national bill won’t be far behind. and if the GOP isn’t unanimous, there’s a chance they won’t even try.

It's not just a ban, but requires companies to tell workers that their existing ones are "null and void."
This takes the California rules, which make ordinary workers not be subject to noncompetes national, which should push up wages significantly.

FTC bans noncompete agreements for workers
The rule makes it illegal to include the agreements in employment contracts and requires firms with active noncompete agreements to inform workers they are void.

Never seen so many faculty so disgusted by university administrators as this year. It’s not just now or Columbia. Faculty, who rarely agree on anything, have been over it all academic year. May this open more opportunities for organizing for academic freedom, unionization & solidarity w/ students.

pretty fucking sick of the cops to leak a piece of the autopsy to make them look good but refuse to share the whole thing. i've asked for more details and they've stopped answering me.
BREAKING: Owasso PD Chief says in an email that preliminary autopsy results indicate Nex Benedict "did not die as a result of trauma."
When pressed for specifics, he said they suspect what happened but won't say until full test results come back.
Given everything, I'm very skeptical about this.
