How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought backβ€”fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

"hey, let's pass the mic over to black folks with tourettes, they might have important and valuable perspectives on this unique issue" said literally no one this entire time, apparently.

"Part of the reason I made a hard leftwing turn was because I was burned by my own techno-optimism. I am part of a generation that believed it could change the world, and then was taught a harsh lesson about money and power."

it’s difficult to overstate how much the next generation of Republicans is worse

we’re seeing a little of it bleed into the current admin with their social media interns but basically every young person actively engaged in Republican politics is a psychotic freak who should be exiled from society

every epstein commentary is these immensely rich/powerful/influential people raving about what a genius epstein was, and every one of his emails is just β€œhelo, my name jomfrie”

nurture your spite with non-revolutionary actions. spite makes you brave. spite turns protests into resistance pretty quickly.

i know there are a lot of ppl who view civic engagement (protest/calling your senator) as non-revolutionary and that's true. but they are very useful for making the status quo frustrated & miserable. protests can turn into resistance, calls can give feckless politicians cold feet. do these things.

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

ARE PEOPLE ALLOWED TO CARRY OR NOT. ARE WE ALLOWED TO PROTEST OR NOT.

These rights have always been "protected" with a BIG Ol' honkin asterisk depending on who you are.
