Hi out there. Does anyone know any employment law attorneys who will represent black folks in Oregon?

I'm asking on behalf of my mom, who is currently going through hell at her job due to racism. The lovely, subtle type where they "manage you out" while they pretend to be reasonable.

Since we moved to the Pacific NW, it's been the same thing over and over again. It's tiring, and I want to fight back.

If you see this, please boost it.

So let me get this straight. The Supreme Court is only supposed to take cases where there is a real injury and real controversy, but it took the case of a web designer who faked a request by a gay customer for a website design? The guy was actually straight, married and with kids?

Vacate this case.

The Supreme Court is an abomination but damn, it is going to be the best GOTV operation the Dems ever had.

The Supreme Court Is Headed Back to the 19th Century. "The justices again appear poised to pursue a purely theoretical liberty at the expense of the lives of people of color." This 2018 piece by Adam Serwer was right-on. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/09/redemption-court/566963/
John Roberts and the Second Redemption Court

The justices again appear poised to pursue a purely theoretical liberty at the expense of the lives of people of color.

Let me get this straight...

Students getting relief from onerous debt is unconstitutional.

But justices secretly getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in gifts, vacations, and free housing and education for their family members is just fine.

Hello?

Republicans were against student loan forgiveness because they thought it would swing voters toward the Democrats. Killing it will be a lot more impactful.

The Supreme Court ruling in favor of a bigot who was never even asked to do the thing she’s freaking out about is just the latest example of how successful the extreme far right has been in enshrining their bigotry into law, and an unmistakable announcement of the importance of reforming the court.

Never forget that the thing that made it possible for #SCOTUS to kill affirmative action was racist Republican voters electing the most dangerous traitor in US history who appointed paid-off justices that perjured themselves in confirmation hearings.

So tomorrow, the NWS forecasts wet bulb temperatures in parts of the US are so high, that people will die if they aren't in air-conditioning. You can't really do anything in wet bulb temps above 90F, and you die in wet bulb temps above 95F.

And it's only June!
