Woke: Get illegally fired and act like you were fired illegally. Keep going to work. Let security block your entry. Argue that you still work there because the order to fire you was illegal. When you’re arrested, take the matter to court and get legal standing on the fact that your firing was illegal.

Broke: Get illegally fired and whine on social media about it.

Remember, there’s lots of bourbon from places that aren’t awful:

I’m going to keep coming back with this until some-habs takes me up on it.

Here’s a non-paywalled article about this story not from a piece of shit news source:

All the protests and boycotts so far this year haven’t had the wide publicity necessary to break through

That’s precisely my point. All the protests and boycotts so far have come from random social media posts and not marshaled, amplified or organized by people who are actually in roles of leadership… like Bernie, or AOC, or the Human Rights Campaign, or the ACLU.

People are pissed and ready for action, and our leaders aren’t offering specific guidance. It’s so frustrating.

As Americans, we cannot stay quiet as Trump abandons centuries of our commitment to democracy. Together, we must fight for our long-held values and work with people around the world who share them.

Omg finally, a call to action. I’m ready! Let’s fucking go! What are we doing, Bernie? Economic boycott? General strike? What’s the plan?

God damn it.

Soooo… when’s the auto auction?

This is slander against pegging.

The Intercept has a more recent article about him, including an interview:

tl;dr: He’s fine, and been released without charges (so far).

I’ve been deeply frustrated by the progressive stance on trans people in professional sports.

Anyone who began medical transitioning after puberty will have reasonably notable physical differences from cisgender people in their appropriately gendered sport. It’s similar to doping, but something their body was doing naturally with incorrect hormones that didn’t reflect their gender.

I certainly don’t feel good about it, but I do think there is a very viable argument to disqualify those kinds of trans people (who medically transitioned after puberty) from competition. The debate becomes much more nuanced as you consider different sports where physical differences between gender matter less. Rugby, weightlifting; trans folks are out. Target shooting, chess, darts; no problem. It’s a debate to be had sport by sport, league by league. The whole issue should have been messaged that way from the beginning.

Queer advocacy groups taking a broad “all or nothing” civil rights stance on this was a HUGE mistake. It’s an argument they were destined to lose, only affected a minuscule number of athletes, and wasted so much time and effort that could have been spent on other battles for trans rights. US Democrats take their cues on queer issues from those queer advocacy groups, so they rolled with it and got trampled.

I really want to have a conversation with queer strategists and Democrat policy leaders to understand why this was the hill they decided to make trans rights die on.

Vote with your wallets, people.
