What’s really going on in Texas? I give you Rep. Jolanda Jones in two parts speaking from temporary exile while they deny a quorum to state Republicans. She lays out every bit of it out - chapter and verse. These Texas Dems are the real deal. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social

Feasibly under oath, all these folks can attest to also seeing Lumpy on the plane, on the island, and with underage girls. That is, if they choose to not perjure themselves, which is always a possibility with folks who still want to run for office at some point and are rich enough to beat the rap

Abbott just issued arrest warrants for the Dems who fled the state.
Rep Jasmine Crockett: unbothered.

email re: job application
after weeks of consideration we have decided to go with another candidate who is better suited to our needs at this time.
it was noted that during your interviews, you told both our recruiter and the hiring manager that 'they wasted your time because they were late' and 'you took time off work just to hear a low ball offer and that we should have posted the salary range in the job description'
we tol you that we do this so people won't apply just for the money, after which you replied 'what money?'
thank you for your time and consideration
Ayup.
That's about the size of it nowadays.
I just got a 'rejection' email after seeing 'interview' in the status section of my app for a month on the workday platform they use, while never receiving any notification of an actual interview to be scheduled. This is the shit that passes as employment

The cop either lied about the phone, or he’s so incompetent he can’t tell the difference between a white bread sandwich and a cellphone. Either way, his prior tickets need to be investigated.
This young man handled it perfectly—stay calm, comply politely, and bring your evidence to court.

On this day, 4 August 1792, radical Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was born near Horsham in Sussex. He was expelled from Oxford University in 1811 for contributing to an atheist pamphlet, and soon married Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, author of Frankenstein. He had a tragic life and died young, but wrote some of the greatest English Romantic poetry, including The Masque of Anarchy, which he penned in the wake of the Peterloo massacre of working-class protesters demanding voting rights. The poem ends with a fiery appeal to workers:
"Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!"
Our podcast episode 15 is about the Peterloo massacre, with film director Mike Leigh, which includes a clip of actor Maxine Peake reading Shelley's poem: https://workingclasshistory.com/.../e15-the-peterloo.../

America has become a society governed by whiney rich people who have duped some of the poorest into believing they too could be rich if they just continue voting against their own best interests.
