Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
@Teri_Kanefield I once witnessed opposing counsel file a motion to strike a joint document on the basis he didn't read it before he signed it.
That was dumb. Seen some really dumb things from attorneys over the years.
But carrying water for Trump is uber ultra stupid. Still, I suppose culling these idiots from the herd (via disbarment) improves the species, so to speak.
Brilliant journalism dunk. 🏀

Reminder: in the same thread (and many others) Musk has delved into the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.
This is the racist, xenophobic & antisemitic belief that Jews are orchestrating an “invasion” of brown immigrants to dilute the white population.

Now Musk is “just asking questions” with one of Twitter’s most notorious antisemites.
It just so happens that the questions fully align with the antisemitic trope that Jews control the media.
Musk is now one of (if not the) leading spreaders of antisemitism in America.

@Maura_resister I can think of a few things that would improve the day, but that's a good start. And eminently predictable.
Alex Jones isn't getting out of this one. . .no way, no how.
