Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs
Let's be clear about this - you cannot vote your way out of fascism. Once fascists seize power, they will do anything to keep it. Laws mean nothing to them, only violent force. There is no use on waiting for any of them to "do the right thing".

Absolutely gutted to see USAID get shut down. Now how will the CIA run covert ops under the guise of humanitarian assistance?

The NLRB has been making some big moves. If they really want to show up, they should immediately issue clear guidance stating that Weingarten Rights apply to non-union workers.
The case can be made that the rights are already there but we need the NLRB messaging to be crystal clear to the bosses.

Reminder to sign up at BeTheMatch.org to be a bone marrow donor. It's incredibly important for the registry to include people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. There's a 79% chance that white patients will receive a match but that drops to 29% for Black patients.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to organizing your coworkers. You’ve got to actually talk to them, agitate, inoculate them and make a *hard ask* of them to join their union.

Google & Accenture's response?
Laying off over 80% of the unit & claiming "predetermined" layoffs.
The catch—at a recent NLRB hearing, Google couldn't provide written evidence that this decision predates the union.

Death is a normal part of life but when it comes, it's rarely anything but jarring. Death is even more jarring when it's a result of the hellscape that has been built around us.

The lesson here is:
The Very Smart People who won't say it's a coup or fascism until they see opposition congressmen being executed without trial on live TV will stand by and do nothing while fascism/coups take hold.
The folks they dismiss as alarmists are the ones who will act.
