Wednesday Stuff


Alex Wagner of MSNBC tells us about more #DeathSantis cruelty, this time about a bill criminalizing the transport of undocumented immigrants, which will lead to jobs going unfilled in Flori-DUUUH!, and requiring hospitals to check the immigration status of patients in that state (State Rep. Anna Eskamani is pretty much “on the beam” here IMO...more pointless #DeathSantis garbage is here; and some long-awaited push-back is here)...

...and sticking with the state of #DeathSantis-stan, Ana and Cenk of TYT discuss “Mr. Pudding Fingers” signing some law exploiting renters by having them pay recurring “junk fees” if they can’t pay the first month’s rent and the security deposit up front, and the recurring fees aren’t refundable at the end of the lease of course, unlike the security deposit...yep, once more, the cruelty is the point...



...and Jayar and Jessica Burbank of Rebel HQ tell us about Andy Hartzler’s video of his mom getting some guy to try and exorcize demons from Hartzler’s room (or something) that were allegedly making Hartzler gay (Hartzler’s aunt Vicki gave that crying speech in the U.S. House about gays getting married...last minute or so of this in particular is Nail. Hammer. Head time)...



...and Sam and Emma talk about how a Biden ruling could help unions (and boy, do we ever know about the mess with Hahnemann University Hospital)...looks like the SEIU has filed an antitrust complaint with the DOJ against the hospital network that Hahnemann was part of – the UPMC network I believe...I honestly didn’t know what a “monopsony” was until I watched this clip...and a “Do Not Hire” blacklist, huh? Nice (and good job by “No Malarkey Joe” to change antitrust enforcement, if that indeed is going to transpire...and I think they may have stumbled onto something with that board game idea)...



...and turning to labor news, this video from More Perfect Union tells us why Barnes & Noble workers are standing up for their rights...



...and we’re currently under a big, smoky cloud cover in these parts due to wildfires burning in Canada (more here and here)...maybe we ought to do something about this climate change thing, huh?
