Elon Musk Just Won His War on Labor Unions
The case “represents a partial negation of the New Deal, along with 90 years of legal precedent—and a victory for the conservative legal establishment’s war against federal regulatory power.”

Elon Musk Just Won His War on Labor Unions

I know from the people around me that sometimes men and boys display egotistical behaviours at the times when they’re actually feeling most insecure about themselves. Can’t help imagining how much the world could be a more peaceful place if they were more socially allowed to express vulnerability.

The avg cost to have a baby is between $20k-30k ($50k if you don’t have insurance). The avg childcare is $20k/yr. Median home price is $419k. Trump thinks a one time $5000 check should be enough?? In other words, they want people to give birth in a nation that actively punishes them for doing so!

They divide us in order to conquer us. They weaponize race, gender, immigration, class, sexuality—because they know if we’re fighting each other, we’re not fighting them.
But we’re not falling for it anymore. We see each other, we stand with each other. We know our liberation is bound together!
