Everyone mark your calendars. Starting tomorrow at 6 Eastern, do not buy anything off Amazon until further notice. Do NOT cross the picket line.
The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.
Let's fucking go! 🔥

In addition to the general principle that trans rights are human rights, and we are *supposed* to be a free country, all of the most wonderful and amazing people I have in my life are trans, and I will lay down my life to protect them.
My guess is that a lot of trans people will be feeling a ton of stress and worry over SCOTUS today.
If you are a cis person, quote this and say why you support trans people and what you are willing to do to support us if the government comes for us.

Also quite frankly I’m over the now-common line of “oh, humanities and liberal arts are just pretentiously acting like they’re the only disciplines with meaning again” pushback on this idea.
We need balance with STEM. Instead, liberal arts are being taken out back and shot.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

I just wanna point out that the existence of the NLRB and labor unions is the “moderate compromise” option and prior to that things like “running gun battles in the street” and “burning the boss’s house down with everyone in it” were on the table as negotiating tactics
SpaceX and Amazon are asking the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to find the National Labor Relations Board unconstitutional. The federal agency is tasked with enforcing workers' right to organize.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

A nation is be judged not by on how it exults its bullies and strongmen, but how it treats its most vulnerable. Like Japanese Americans, the trans community never did anything to deserve the kind of hatred and targeting they have received.
