i always see a lot of TAKE YOUR PTO!!!! talk and i fully agree but i think we should also be talking about the structures that disincentivize that—guilt-trips from short staffing, invisible threat of firing, etc

Serious answer: right-wing politics are fundamentally about Absolute Power. They believe there should be a monarch or leader with unquestionable authority. No room for shades of grey in that world.

i would sincerely like to see every queer person and leftist armed. as in with guns. fire arms

How does one stay not depressed amongst this obvious slide into corporate white supremist dictatorship

To be clear, extremely rich people with stuff to hide and a fading grip on power are trying to sue investigative journalism out of existence. Really up to American citizens if we survive this. Demand more out of execs running these places who don’t understand this yet.

the BBC seems to have taken down their Live page where they were reporting what is going on in Gaza, because i guess to them, there’s not much going on there anymore

Tim Hortons coffee WISHES it was piss

Really missing Boston rn

They’ve become the avatar for a generic “left” that movement conservatives can point to. There are literally no actual leftists in government or with any political power in this country, but there are plenty on campus, so they get the attention, to prove that anyone left of Manchin is literally Mao.

Toyota gave 9% raises right after the UAW reached their agreement. Now Tesla is giving a 4% raise + bonuses to all 11k workers at its Berlin Gigafactory because workers were trying to unionize. Striking union wins ripple across industry. That's why you always stand in solidarity.
