Excellent thread on the truth that unions have a long history of multiethnic coalition. JD Vance continues to be full of shit and diversity makes us stronger.
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

This exactly how Black folks feel about the Confederate flag
If some group had tried to murder YOUR grandparents, would you be cool with someone having a tattoo of their logo? Would you accept that it was a "youthful mistake" or that they just didn't understand it? Would you let it slide bc you don't want to "alienate" people who don't think it's a big deal?

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".
It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.
And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.

My immediate family and I remain Covid-aware. We were going to drive to the other side of the state to visit family for thanksgiving and asked that everyone there just test for Covid before coming to dinner (with tests provided by us). Cousin said they would not attend if testing was required

Some people here love to dismiss ‘sportsball’ but S. African teams being banned from international competition was an important factor in ending Apartheid because it made their crimes real for non-political folk.
It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.

My rep voted no and probably took a lot of risk to do so. Their leadership should not have left them out in the cold like this.
95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires.

My greatest critique of our systems around COVID was the focus on individuals and not dramatic emergency investment in interior air quality.
We are in fact plagued by this beyond the plague. The way we concentrate ease of transmission is a systemic risk. And it's solvable. Just like clean water.

My family and I have considered a drive to Canada for this purpose should something happen at a federal level to completely remove access to Covid and/or flu vaccines. We would 100% do a 6 hour drive to Chicago.
