The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

The cops here really want to connect five of them shooting a homeless man with the security demands of the RNC, which was, uh, not that close by and across a highway

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms that a Columbus, Ohio, police officer detailed to the RNC shot and killed a homeless Black man (earlier reported to be in his early 20s) more than half a mile from the RNC arena. The man was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull named Isis.

Ohio police officer shoots, kills person in Milwaukee outside of RNC perimeter, sources saywww.jsonline.com The man killed by Ohio officers near the RNC on Tuesday was well-known in the neighborhood, several witnesses told the Journal Sentinel.

If you didn't already know that academic publishing is a racket - this beautifully outlines all the myriad ways in which it routinely extorts everyone involved with it.

Academic journals are a lucrative scam – and we’re determined to change that | Arash Abizadehwww.theguardian.com Giant publishers are bleeding universities dry, with profit margins that rival Google’s. So we decided to start our own, says academic Arash Abizadeh

I’m about to boost the Palestinian GFM campaigns that I have personally connected with (as well as others who have) to essentially “vouch” for them - BUT the main point of my goal is to make connections with my Arab siblings ❤️ GFMs in replies. دعونا نحقق أهدافهم، إن شاء الله! 🇵🇸👇

This summer I will be supporting the Mongolian Olympic team because this is their uniform and it is a thousand times better than anything Nike has ever made.

You just need to write over like, a COUPLE of characters on this sign and this bad boy is ready for a whole new election cycle. Saves the PAC money which then goes back into Trump's bank account. Jackpot

I can see the appeal of JD Vance honestly. 5 letter last name, one syllable. Trump/Vance fits well on a yard sign. Probably don't need to think too much more about it beyond that.

you see your pets twitching their little limbs in their sleep and say to your partner "look, it is running through a field in its sleep", you are wrong: your pet is in a casino: throwing dice, playing slots and video poker, walking on two legs and betting large on a blackjack table

“political violence” is when violence is done to a politician. everything they cause is a different thing and you shouldn’t worry about it

Reminds me of the Malaysian French toast I had in Chinatown in NYC. That stuff was so good

Ok now that we have a break I want to fight about French Toast again. If you don’t fuck with French Toast I do not respect you. I’m not out here saying pancakes are bad, go for it, but French Toast is a versatile cornerstone of breakfast experience. In Hong Kong they deep fry it with peanut butter.

I’m an actual pacifist. I want all guns banned. I just need the left to do less “violence is bad even when it happens to Trump” and more “this is the world Trump wants the rest of us to live in.”
