They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices. This May Day we are fighting back. Stand with us.

First they came for the immigrant...
Then they came for the immigrant's US citizen children...
Then they came for the judges...

Anything is better than this. Hillary was better than this, the worst characterization of Biden was better than this, Kamala was better than this, any nominee that Dems could have possibly picked would’ve been better than this.

It’s not arguable. If we even get a next time, spend more of your time talking to and registering voters, volunteering for candidates, and driving people to the polls and less time holding up signs next to people who already agree with you.

@drahardja Every politician (at least, in Australia) who tells you we don't need free university education had free university education.

Also, tech moguls don't let their children anywhere near screens or social media.

@drahardja It's almost like most politicians are worthless, self-serving [long string of expletives redacted]-holes.

@drahardja every politician who says the housing crisis can be solved by building more houses instead of removing tax breaks for investors owns multiple houses.

@drahardja And the tech oligarchs like Zuck and Tim Cook, and Bill Gates famously kept their own children pretty far from the tech their companies made.

And the people defunding public schools send their kids to private schools. And the people destroying social security are wealthy enough that they don’t need it. And the people destroying food stamps have never depended on them. And … and… and…

Rick Baumhauer 5d ago

@paco @drahardja I agree with the overall theme here, but Tim Cook doesn't have any children.

Paco Hope #resist 5d ago

@rick_baumhauer you’re right. I think it was Steve Jobs. I’m sure it was an Apple head honcho. @drahardja

Rick Baumhauer 5d ago

@paco @drahardja If it was Jobs, he was in a different era - the "post-PC" era that started with the iPhone was only just starting to really take off (he didn't live to see an iPhone released with screen larger than 3.5", after all), and the iPad was only 18-months-old when he died. I'd be surprised if his kids didn't use Macs. A lot has changed in the last 13+ years.

Rick Baumhauer 5d ago

@paco @drahardja That's not meant to be a blanket exhoneration of Jobs - his management style would not have aged well, and he was behind some very worker-unfriendly policies (collusion to hold down pay, etc). Still, I would like to have seen how Steve would have dealt with the last decade of social media, tech regulation, and the rightward lurch of tech billionaires.

@rick_baumhauer @drahardja this is what I was thinking of. https://www.the-independent.com/tech/steve-jobs-apple-ipad-children-technology-birthday-a6893216.html

Debbie Belair 5d ago

@drahardja Right from the fascist playbook.

This is the exact reason in Finland, there are no private schools...

...so that public schools are quality enough to educate the wealthy.

Also, speeding fines are adjusted for your wealth. The wealthier you are the more you pay.
