Nex on the chopping block: OSHA

Because that’s what to working class needs, right. Even less protections.

Imagine what Amazon / Bezos would put in place without the bare legal minimums to stop it.

Not only is this a dangerous precedent to set - that democracy is punishable by fines or imprisonment if it goes against Dear Leader’s wishes - but also a shocking reminder of how deep the rot has already set in.

I believe this will be challenged - I truly hope so - but the bill passed.

Elected officials decided by majority that this was the correct course of action.

Trans rights are Human rights.

The same arguments being used now against trans people were used 30/40/50 years ago against homosexual people.

The exact same.

It’s the Lavender Scare - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavende... - all over again.

It should be no surprise that a regime which ran on the concept of ‘Us’ vs ‘Them’ would treat ‘Them’ as sub human cattle.

Disappointing. Saddening. Infuriating.

But not surprising.

I’m not surprised someone has tried to extend the Presidency to a third term. I am surprised it happened before the week was over.

I don’t think this has the push to go through- this time.

That said, it will be interesting to find out how many voices, and whose, join in to support this.

I hope this bill, put forward by Democrat Mississippi state Sen. Bradford Blackmon, is as much of a troll as it seems.

Completely unrelated, but I now have Michael Palin’s voice stuck in my head.

Elon is unapologetic and unrepentant.

Would the ADL not consider “giving him a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt”?

When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

This is not the first time.

What trump describes and what actually happened have no connection or resemblance to each other.

A follower of Christ speaking truth to power, and asking for grace for some of the most vulnerable amongst us - as Christ would.

Only someone already filled with hate would find hate in those words.

“ADL fights all forms of antisemitism and bias, using innovation and partnerships to drive impact. A global leader in combating antisemitism, countering extremism and battling bigotry wherever and whenever it happens, ADL works to protect democracy and ensure a just and inclusive society for all.”

The banning of TikTok is clearly politically motivated - and I don’t mean from a purely ‘Chy-na is bad’ perspective.

The app directly mentions Trump, and that he may be able to ‘save’ the app. Ignoring the fact it was his directive which set the banning in motion in the first place.
