The 2nd Amendment is being watered with the blood of innocents. Sensible gun laws need to be enacted.

Right now Graduate Workers at the University of Michigan are on strike trying to get a living wage for the work that they do. This time trans healthcare is also under debate as many grad workers can not access the care that they need.

When asked to improve access to trans healthcare, the University of Michigan said they are "not interested in doing that". After being told how desperately their students need this care, and how they are suffering, they responded with indifference and sighed with relief when the next topic was introduced.

Please boost this, the University is trying to hide behind a progressive facade while rejecting a living wage and trans care.

Edit: Please also consider donating to their strike fund. The University has stopped paying graduate workers, including some that were not on strike https://givebutter.com/GEOStrikeFund

I have sufficient reason and evidence to believe that I was terminated from Rune Labs in retaliation for protected anti-discrimination whistleblowing activity.

Normally, NDA would prohibit me from disclosing this. However, thanks to Washington’s Silenced No More Act, my ability to speak about discrimination, harassment, or retaliation that I have witnessed in the workplace is legally protected.

🔊Boosts appreciated.

I Was Laid Off In Retaliation for Anti-Discrimination Whistleblowing – Haste Makes Waste

In order to protect women, gender nonconforming folks, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community from suffering as my peers and I have, I feel ethically obligated to go public with my experience. In this article, I will outline why I have sufficient reason to believe that my former employer Rune Labs has violated US anti-discrimination labor laws.

Maybe a part of what I like about mastodon right now -- as with Twitter a thousand years ago -- is that it seems so ridiculously impossible that anyone might make money, ever, this way.
RSL fans are the worst.
Now the willful incompetents at the New York Times political desk are normalizing George Santos. It's hopeless to expect better from this crew. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/29/nyregion/george-santos-washington.html?smid=tw-share
George Santos, Instead of Shrinking From the Spotlight, Steps Into It

Mr. Santos seems to be testing whether his notoriety will translate into a form of celebrity, if not eventual acceptance.

THERE IS NO POLITE OR METERED WAY TO RESPOND TO SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO KILL THEIR POPPLER FOR THE SAKE OF IDEOLOGY. THESE FUCKERS ARE BEYOND REACH.
