> The plan, which Mr. Sanders, an independent from Vermont, introduced with Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Pramila Jayapal of Washington, both Democrats

I'm so confused

@Unionhawk help

And his twitter says independent

I thought he was a democratic

Except without autocorrect error

Sanders is an independent who caucuses with Democrats.

Okay now I get it

@Yuuki and who is running for the Democratic nomination

Relative to the UK or probably even Canada

Yeah sounds like parties are more of a thing here

I mean we certainly have more of them if nothing else.

They aren't membership organizations in the US

Like you can't become a member of the party in any meaningful way

The fundraising campaign of sacked rugby player Israel Folau has been resurrected after being shut down by GoFundMe.

tldr; Israel Folau's contract with Ruby Australia was terminated after he posted on twitter a image saying that homosexuals, atheists, alcoholics, etc would go to hell unless they embrace Jesus and Ruby Australia found he was in breach of his employment contract. he then went to start a GoFundMe page to raise 3 million for Legal Fees to take Ruby Australia to court

GoFundMe closed it down and intend to refund the detonators and now a Christian Lobby group has started a fundraiser on their site with the same goal and donated 100k

to be honest this feels like religion wanting to reserve the right to be be assholes to certain groups within organizations which are way moire tolerant than them because while i can't say what was in Israel's contract, my employment contracts and training i have done warn us about making homophobic/racist/discriminatory remarks on social media if the account can be seen as representing the organization

What does king salman have against kamala harris in particular?

@Unionhawk She's female?

I was also about to say Syria but that's Gabbard not Harris, right?

My brain turns off for safety purposes every time I read the word "syria" so I don't know

@Unionhawk 🤔

I legitimately do not understand this

like are they going for "hey person on the left who doesn't trust a former prosecutor, what if I told you that the federalist also thinks that"

is the federalist actually funded by third way and they are doing double secret forward psychology

It's too early for my brain to process that

🤔

I mean, there's no locks on my workplace and I'm technically free to leave at anytime.

Doesn't mean I will because I like having money.

I mean but I think there are physically locks, that's the whole point of detaining them?

Ah I see Lindsey Graham is out here with the "well if he said he didn't do it" defense which is quite a thing to say, out loud

@Unionhawk lmao

tl;dr - Wayfair sold beds to furnish border camps; 547 employees signed a petition to ask that we cease all business with border camps; CEO said no —>employees are walking out tmrw at 1:30pm. We ask that Wayfair donate all profits made from the sale to RAICES #WayfairWalkout

@Unionhawk I'm not sure how I feel about this. One one hand, they're effectively supporting the border camps, which is bad. On the other hand if nobody sells them beds, then the people being held there won't even have beds, and we've seen that they'll still be held there in that situation.

Either way, donating the profits to RAICES would be the right move

PA GOP Chair resigns after it comes out he sent dick pics to a Philly council candidate

Meghan McCain has also said that the immigrant concentration camps are not like the Hanoi Hilton apparently? Elevating the discourse 👍

@murgatroid99 It'd be a different question if this administration actually followed some guidelines and "we have no supply of beds" translated to "release detained individuals" rather than "well, they just won't have beds".

I'm not even sure at this point if anyone actually compared the concentration camps to torture facilities (even though the family separation is meant to be a deterrent in that way) or she's just starting with that premise to make this argument

@Yuuki That's true. But I think if you just look at the choices of bed suppliers, the possible outcomes are "detainees have beds" and "detainees don't have beds"

What I meant was that it'd be nice to have an administration where "lack of beds means we can't house detainees in accordance to legal guidelines means we have to release them" but instead we have "lack of beds means we can't house detainees in accordance to legal guidelines but lol who cares, the GOP has our back".

independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/…

@Yuuki every company doing business with the concentration camps can use every other company also doing business with the camps as a justification for why it is ok for them to keep doing business. Wayfair may have only supplied the beds, but other vendors supply other goods/services and some of those goods/services are going to be absolutely required for this administration to keep running the camps

ergo, don't support the concentration camps at all, don't worry about the administration trying to do the comic book villain move of "you made me hurt them" because they will do that anyway
