Feeling totally justified in all my "yeah, nah" responses to people asking for donations to the ACLU rn
Civil Rights Corps is way better
I had never heard of this organization before rn, thank you so much for this comment ❤️
how aclu started
how aclu going
Liberals when Biden is the least progressive president of all time: "we can pull him right."
Not surprising coming from the official org for enlightened centrist dems and law school nerds who cum at the idea of protecting nazis. They defend literal hate groups.
The finally turned around on protecting Nazis but
a) not after doing a lot of damage by fighting for a platform for hate.
b) they didn't really learn anything they just realized how it was affecting their donations
they're like a shotgun with a motion sensor.
Nutcracker from Lethal Company, but calibrated to find minorities
Mandatory arbitration agreements 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
At this point why not just have mandatory gladiatorial agreements? Just make an employment contract that requires employees to settle disputes out of court and in the field of blood and battle. There's basically no difference.
Nah, corporations would have meathead chuds chomping at the bit to represent them in gladiatorial combat.
Just like how they have boogie arbitrators deciding on terminations! At least if it was a blood sport it'd be more honest.
Friendship ended with ACLU, now UAW is my friend.
Sorry to say UAW officially endorsed Biden
Evidence #100000000003821 as to why liberal "do gooders" aren't really our allies.
This headline is breaking my brain.
Employee gets fired for allegedly making racist comments
Employee tries to sue for wrongful termination
ACLU tries to force private arbitration
NLRB slaps arbitration down.
ACLU targets the NLRB.
Well this is a fine mess indeed

The gay marraige fight taught me about DC grifter orgs. HRC 1st and then the ACLU.

It took over two years of grass roots fighting the state before national groups ACLU and GLaaD came in to help. Once it was inevitable we were going to go national and they couldn't ignore us any more. That laywer who was in on the beginning, Dana Nessel, is currently now the state AG.
They don't want to solve issues. Solving issues means you have to find a new racket. Never mind the resume padder of actually fixing shit. Drag that shit out as long as you can. They're a bunch of laywers and grifters who see dollar signs.
FUCK THE HRC. Transphobic pieces of shit
Love how the founders of the ACLU were commies and it's denigrated to this
kind of like how a lib magazine profanes the name of mother jones
Liberalism.
Am I wrong in my assessment that the ACLU is
in org form?
"Ackshually, the letter of the law is all the matters! The spirit and intent is irrelevant!"
Not a surprising move from the people who supported a Nazi march in Illinois
ACLewww
Don't worry, Joe will do something to stop this, I'm sure of it
Definitely not like he already has a track record of encouraging strikebreaking in just this term or anything
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
