A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Anyone thinking this is real (“dOnt TheaTeN mE wiTh a gOOd tIMe”, “They’re trying to scaremonger”) is a fucking moron. Republicans are evil and often stupid, but not stupid enough to word an ad like that. They’re well aware that “corporations and wealthy owners” has a negative connotation and “workers and the public” has a positive one. Please be more skeptical.

You heard Mike Johnson campaigning for the DSA in front of the whole country, right? Using scary Boogeyman language to describe perfectly reasonable and honorable things?

No, I didn’t hear that. Did he try to spin it in his favor with his word choice? Because that would be the opposite of what this post is doing.
