I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

It’s wild to me. This didn’t exist a couple of years ago. What did they do before then? Just do that again!

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly)

light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

If you’ve been looking for an alternative to funding establishment Dems who are cowards at the end of the day, please look into WFP. This grassroots party has done a significant amount of work over the years to elect progressives and make real change.

A month ago, we proposed a salary floor of $90k to management, citing our costs of living, RNG’s wage disparities, and the fact that most of us worked second jobs in the last year to make ends meet.

Yesterday, management countered—with a salary floor of $60k.

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

We want to—and do—work hard. We care about Rewire & its mission. But it’s clear to us that management doesn’t see dedication to the cause as enough compensation for themselves.

We do not need to make the same salaries as management. But we do need to live decently, and we need to be paid equitably.

The total management salary budget for 7 people is $942,817.55, while the unit salary budget for 6 people is $464,373.70.

The average management salary is $134,688.22. Meanwhile the unit salary averages to $77,395.62. It’s only $71,269.67 without the highest-paid unit member, who makes six figures.

Since we last shared an update on bargaining, we’ve received additional information about management salaries at Rewire.

The TLDR: The pay discrepancy between management and union members is deeply unsettling.

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

I hate that this is probably correct.

Fire Emblem with a blicky 😂 I thought I'd never seen the day

In retrospect, one of THE best things I did for myself was not looking at ANYTHING about the fandom until I'd finished all of the routes and had developed my own thoughts and opinions. It still blows my mind that a lot of people only do one route. It's not the whole story!!

me, gnawing on the scenery: what if we get agarthan characters, what if we find out how to make weapons out of living beings, what if we find out what all of the underground cities really used to be, what if the events of this game CAUSE the bad things in FE3H and we, the player, are the cause

All characters seen on the maps (I think) (updated) #fefw
