Tens of thousands of workers in Florida have just lost their labor unions. More is coming

A WLRN investigation begins to reveal the scope of SB 256, a sweeping anti-union labor law passed in 2023. What is emerging is an outright crisis for teachers and other public sector workers. “The work conditions of hundreds of thousands of people are going to be up in the air,” said one advocate.

Kinda miffed they didn’t include a screenshot of the colors, but I’m guessing the readability will be vastly better!

insisting the House stop holding Ukraine aid hostage first

That’s probably how this is gonna end up getting through. The GOP wants aid to Israel, the Dems want aid to Ukraine. I’m putting my money on both things passing in some compromise deal.

I’m still not convinced that the trial’s even going to start tomorrow. Still waiting for some 11th hour hail-mary type play to push this back a few more weeks.
A 7-year old got seriously wounded by shrapnel, so yes they got an injury.

Then direct intervention

Oh boy, US troops on the ground in the middle east. That’ll go well and will definitely calm things down.

Cutting off aid would force Israel to go “well we better hurry up and finish this war before we run out of ammo”, sending them into overdrive to cripple Hamas’ capabilities since they won’t have the Iron Dome to rely on anymore.

And of course there’s still the issue of a ceasefire not being agreed to because Hamas can’t provide Israel what it’s asking for. So how’s cutting off aid supposed to help?

At this point I don’t think Israel’s gonna stop even if they do somehow manage to eradicate Hamas from the world. Any opportunity for peaceful ends to this conflict are long gone.

Hamas says it does not have 40 hostages who fit criteria for deal with Israel

US-backed proposal involves women, children and elderly or sick hostages in Gaza being exchanged for 900 Palestinian prisoners

Rather than try to take away ballot options that would better represent the interests of the American public, perhaps the Democratic Party should focus on passing legislation that would actually help struggling people such as a universal single payer healthcare program or guaranteed housing.

I love when people act like the Democrats have unilateral control over all 3 branches of Government and just gloss over how the party that controls the Courts dismantles Obamacare at every opportunity, and the same party that controls the House and will refuse to pass bills that even they like because of the chance it might make Biden look good.

Sadly, both major political parties in America are fully beholden to the corporate interests which fund the political system.

Of course, topping it off with a little “both sides”.

One of those relationships where everyone sucks. Watch her views on The Fourth Estate magically evolve seemingly overnight.
