Reminder that in the United States, your right to discuss wages is protected by the law. It is unlawful for your employer, boss, or managers to prohibit you, specifically, from talking about your wages.

Discussing wages is crucial to knowing if your labour is being compensated correctly. Higher-ups do not want you to discuss wages because you may find out that your labour is not being monetarily compensated for. Talk about your wages

Read the National Labor Relations Board article here, talk about your wages with fellow workers.

Religious rights my ass. They’re just a foundation to discriminate lgbt folk.

I wonder how many people are gonna use the stupid, “oh you can get sundays off if you’re Christian!” Ruling now.

#us politcs #Supreme Court #lgbt #lgbt rights #this is such bullshit #the only religious rights should be to allow things like Jewish people to have their sabbat?(correct me if I’m wrong on that plz) off #and holidays like Eid #not discrimination #fuck this

I do not like wishing death on people, but it would be a fascinating time to live through if both Trump and Biden made it through the primaries and then died within weeks of each other.

#Politics #US Politcs #Donald Trump #Joe Biden #Presidental Election #i can imagine it would be fucking chaos at that point #kamala would get sworn in so we still have an acting president at least #but the republican candidates besides trump aren't popular among MAGAs so who knows who'd end up getting picked #we have one or two dems besides Biden trying to run atm but they're both weak af so it'd be chaos finding someone who could pull it off #could be a good opportunity for a third party candidate to roll up and run a super strong campaign #this whole scenario would be total chaos and it would honestly terrify me

thank you so much for posting about the speaker stuff, i got tired of searching for sites that were updating often enough on it

You’re so welcome, I found out you can get coverage of the sessions of Congress for free on the C-SPAN website even without a cable plan and I’ve been taking ADVANTAGE

BTW when Crane of Arizona voted “present,” he IMMEDIATELY tried to leave the chamber, not a backbone between the lot of them

I'm not sure how many people truly recognize this, but the United States is only truly prepared for war, both in our land and on land foreign to us. We aren't equipped to help our citizens when all of our energy goes toward hypermilitarization and state-enfored violence. Frankly, as long as we have war mongering, the people will never be prioritized. If there is no war, it will be manufactured.

#politics #us politcs #the reason people fall so easily for moral panics is because of this i think #moral panic functions a bit like war propaganda in such a way that you feel COMPELLED to fight to do SOMETHING #the moral panic against trans people - for example - becomes a type of protowar. it is seen as something to defend oneself against #america is only prepared for war however brutal #and that is why people aren't being helped (at least it is ONE reason amonst many)

"Republicans lose votes when people get a good look at their proposals on these issues, so maybe it's no wonder they're now permanently engaged in culture-war food fights… it's become more obvious than it was that Republicans have no plans to address problems in normal people's lives. … The Louisville Courier-Journal's Joe Sonka asked Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers for his definition of "woke" on Friday and he replied, "Woke? That is the definition to me that is a describing of a mentality or a culture that certain individuals have about how things are progressing through society." Hey man, maybe carve out some time to think about this or just admit that it's become a hollow vehicle for reactionary rage."

Four justice lied under oath at confirmation, sat on the scotus and are stealing our rights.

And the congress being what it is makes impeachment impossible.

i am having thoughts about jason grace being given up to appease hera and the text making that more literal. like--

jason grace as the champion of juno, more than the son of jupiter, because when jupiter gave him up, he gave him up. jason doesn’t care about his parent, he cares about his patron. jason grace with the tattoo of a peacock feather!!

jason grace who refuses to use his powers because he isn’t a child of jupiter. jason grace who instead has juno’s blessing, in politics and relationships and aaaaaaaaaah

#jason grace #heroes of olympus #percy jackson #LISTEN #chosen family!! your parent does not determine your legacy!! #plus just like. the character potential #his background in new rome? #of course he ends up in the 5th. of course they scorn him #(a champion of juno? a child of jupiter who refutes his heritage and won't use his powers?) #& of course he rises to praetor #one of juno's domains is POLITCS!! #& in rome--war!!! #'people expect me to be a hero bc my dad is king' fuck off #'people expect me to be a hero bc my dad is king of the gods but i ALREADY CHOSE OTHERWISE' #'so they expect me to be weak BUT I AM STILL A HERO' #HELLO?! #plus parallel w piper #& the whole unpacking the stereotypes rick wrote into aphrodite & femininity #giving more nuance to rick's portrayal of hera #& THEN HERA TAKING AWAY HIS MEMORIES-- #(it must break her heart! she's let herself care about 1 demigod!) #of COURSE he uses his powers bc he doesn't remember why not! #& it feels wrong but he keeps doing it! #& then once he gets his memory back--what then! #& the RELATIONSHIP w hera #like THAT keeps the question of 'are the gods using their children' #bc #godDAMN the complexity #also this jason meeting hercules--
