the sheer amount of my taxpayer dollars that will go into lawsuit settlements over the next 20 years is infuriating
Why do you think any lawsuits for any of these things would actually get anywhere at this point?
The repercussions of this administration will be going on for decades
Right but you seem to be inferring that the totalitarianism sweeping the nation at the moment will just go away or something, and lawsuits on things like this will actually be a thing in, say, 10 years.
yeah this is just the start. it's gonna get progressively worse until inevitably the system blows up. that could take decades. i'm guessing it culminates in some sort of unwinnable war
New tax on billion dollar entities or higher scaling exponentially for every additional zero , make them pay it. Government should spend money, on the people for the people and by the people
Getting fired because you're a woman, with reasoning that seems to boil down to "we don't think a woman can do this job," sounds like a pretty good case for a wrongful, discriminatory firing suit.
They just put an asshole in charge of the EEOC who doesn’t believe this is discrimination. Who would enforce a judgement even if they won?
4/9 of the supreme court are women. When are they going to go?
At least 1 black guy to my knowledge too
We don't count that Uncle Tom mother fucker
Fascists will still count him if his knee doesn't bend enough.
You guys need to remember the real constitution that our oligarchy follows "Rules for thee, not for me"
Is he literally saying "Girls can't do that job, that's a job for a man"?
Yes
No no no it's clearly DEI
Serving a violent, racist, patriarchical empire isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
over concerns
No.
The left needs to learn how to "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
Speaking softly alone gets you fucking nowhere. This is why the far right gains so much ground. They know the DNC and the apparatus of the left is toothless. All they do is browbeat.
Get.some.fucking.teeth.
If the DNC cannot bite back, it needs to die or else ethnic cleansing and genocide is inevitable in this country.
I want to start a new political party in alabama based solely on making the average workers life a little bit better.
The little person, too, needs to learn to just say no. Make them push it farther. Fight back and get pyrrhic victories.
I'm guessing this was on a military base, so the usual eviction shit doesn't apply, but remember that in civilian life, until law enforcement shows up with a court order in hand, anyone removing you from your house is breaking criminal law.
I guess her crime was to try to employ more people who weren't cishet white men. Unforgivable to the fascists in charge. And anyway, they just get off on cruelty because it distracts them from the emptiness inside.
Given their recent demand that NASA remove information about "women in leadership", it paints a pretty clear picture of why she was fired. Nothing to do with capability, competence, or any issues with her command.
It’s almost like Hegseth was lying when he said he respected women in the military.
Margaret fucking Hamilton, got us to the moon.
Your name is correct
For those not in the know:
Here, Margaret is shown standing beside listings of the software developed by her and the team she was in charge of, the LM [lunar module] and CM [command module] on-board flight software team.
For those confused and thinking that the Wicked Witch of the West was somehow aging backwards after faking her death and escaping from Oz:
They’re bullies. They get off on acting like this.
almost there
