I was terminated in retaliation for having a disability and being injured on the job due to my employer's negligence. I took leave for surgery due to that injury and was terminated the day I returned. The reason? Allegedly poor performance, despite my review, completed just three weeks before the beginning of my leave, stating I was doing fantastic. My manager pinned a number of her failures on me in the process, all of which I could prove were entirely due to her own incompetence, but HR had already fired me. No one cared.

I filed a complaint with my state's labor department, and in response my employer fabricated a host of lies to justify my termination. The department initially sided with them until I created a multi-page document explaining my evidence to them like they were a child. Within days, I had a new investigator and they had a team working on my case.

I just received a letter from the investigator. I won. Not only did they side with me for every accusation made by or against me, they found additional concerning details in my employer's story, entirely due to the evidence they fabricated. Poorly. So soooo poorly.

It was noticed that there was a significant uptick in terminations at the time, and more of them were of injured or disabled employees than could be accounted for by employee population composition. The state is now prosecuting them for their violations in my case and investigating the entire company for further violations.

Feels good.

Montreal police have launched an investigation into 16 officers who are accused of carrying out 'co-ordinated' racist and hateful acts against Black and Arab people during police stops.

On Friday, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) announced it dismantled a night patrol unit at Station 39 and removed 16 officers from patrol duties amid accusations of racial profiling and discrimination against Black and Arab people during police stops in the borough.

According to a Radio-Canada source, the officers have been accused of collecting pieces of locs, sometimes called dreadlocks, that had been cut from people during police interventions to keep as "trophies." Radio-Canada also reported that tickets were allegedly issued to citizens solely on the basis of their ethnic background.

context because this is kinda a terminally online meme:

A popular online "looksmaxxer" got a bunch of cosmetic surgery and people are making fun of how it isn't worth it for male insecurities

This guy is an asshole and the hate is deserved. He shot an alligator on stream for views (which is illegal btw) and overdosed on stream and a bunch of other bad shit. Along with promoting insecurities/dangerous chemicals/steroids/treating women like objects/penis pumps/etc to children.

For those that don't know looksmaxxing is a movement that expanded from incel culture and involves taking TRT (steroids) underage, smashing your face bones with a hammer, diy surgeries, etc. It is expanding massively online and creates a LOT of new words that Gen z use half ironically half unironically.

TLDR: Dumbass alpha male got a bunch of useless cosmetic surgeries and is ruining his life for views. People are making fun of him for it.

good friend of mine named Fallon N Splat recently passed away. She did so much for this country as a B-52 pilot. Ms. Splat will be missed. A true AMERICAN HERO!

The message says the certificate must be surrendered during an investigation because the application didn’t cite proof of Canadian family from original sources, such as vital statistics, or explain why original documents were not provided.
