The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.
The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

JD Vance sucks, obviously, but I gotta admit that I’ve used this same quote about democrats:
If the result of all your adherence to Norms and Bipartisanship is that you eat shit in an election against Donald Trump, maybe the Norms and Bipartisanship aren’t helping you!

This guy remains a fucking weirdo. Those may technically be the words of Cormac McCarthy, but they're uttered by a sociopathic killer (Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men) and are a statement of an unrepentant nihilistic world view. Great attitude for a possible future POTUS, right?

so to be clear North Carolina repealed the mask law that was enacted to prevent the Klan from intimidating minorities and replaced it with one that has a carve-out FOR the Klan to intimidate minorities
There is an exemption to allow the KKK to wear hoods of course. While the excuse they use for this bill is targeting protesters it is obvious how this will have wider implications especially for disabled people of color or those with visual differences
