Siiiiiigh strikes don't get organized overnight, they take quite a lot of planning and logistics to pull it off successfully. People still need to eat and sleep and survive even while on a strike. Posting a canva flyer with dates on lemmy doesn't tell us how the hell any kind of logistics or support is going to come to the people on strike.

From 6am to 6pm every action I have to take is in service of the job I have. My alarm goes off because I have to be up for my job, I need to shower and do all my morning routine stuff for my job. I am out the door just after 7 to have enough time to snag a breakfast sandwich and some bottled tea for breakfast, for a 45 min commute into work, work for about 4 hrs, get an hour for lunch where about 10 minutes is spent walking from my desk somewhere nearby for food, about 40 minutes for ordering, waiting for and the eating food for the same ~10 min walk back to the office for another about 4 hrs of work before the ~15 min it takes to pay for parking and leave the building for another 45 min commute putting me back home at about 6pm before I change into my comfy clothes. Now. I have less than 4 hours before the exhaustion finally fully sets in an I go to sleep. And some dinner would be nice so that's another hour or more.
Yes there is a difference between "trump said I have to call you bruce" which is what the original post is, but the people in the comments posting photos of the Bruce Jenner decathlon board game, or referring to her as "Mr Bruce that is" or making a fake book title "they still call me Bruce II: electric boogaloo" are where the transphobia is setting in.
Yes she's a dumbass, yes she is cheering on the leopards eating her face, yes those leopards are going after trans people, but that doesn't mean we get to act the same way transphobes do to insult and dehumanize trans people no matter how much we disagree with the trans person. Attack their ideas and their dumbassery, not their identity.
Our constitution does have the method to be fixed, 27 times we've fixed it. They're called amendments. Honestly I would hazard to say that no political document anywhere is going to stand up to bad faith actors trying to subvert it. At the end of the day the the constitution is just a piece of parchment with some ink on it and only has the power we give it.
Germany as a nation began in 1871 when it went from being the Holy Roman Empire a loose collection of Germany states, to the nation of Germany and ~50 years later would collapse into Nazi Germany. Fascists don't care about the law, they use the perception of law to gain power.
Supposed to be separation of powers, Judiciary is supposed to just look at evidence and make judgement calls, the executive is supposed to do the legwork to actually bring that evidence to the courts. If the Judiciary is the ones collecting evidence and making the judgement calls as to what will and won't support a particular position, that's a bad thing.
Unfortunately that separation of power breaks down when fascists controll most/all the levers of power.
Well... the were when they were in the concentration camps in 1930s Germany after the institute that performed the first successful gender reassignment surgery was burned to the ground.
Sure it wasn't the many generations of the horrors of slavery but this is literally just Dido-ing at this point comparing the scale of atrocities. An atrocity is still an atrocity. Slavery was bad and we still see major hardships to this day because of the effects of slavery and Jim Crow. Nazi Germany was bad and look around, we're speed running the collapse of a democracy into a fascist dictatorship following the exact same steps as Germany did in the 30s.
Finding the irony of a trans person cheering on a transphobic fascist isn't transphobic, continuing to deadname (something transphobes do for the sake of cruelty) after the irony has been pointed out is transphobic.
Yes she's a dumbass who supports a man who is legally requiring her to be deadnamed. If you follow continue to follow the laws of a fascist to hurt minorities, congratulations you're still following the laws of a fascist to hurt minorities.
Call her a dumbass, point out that the law as written requires people to call her by her deadname, point out that she won't be immune to fascist consequences when Republicans do come for trans people, don't continue to deadname just because someone else already pointed out irony.
It's the lemmy people dogpiling and continuing the deadnaming after the point in the tweet has already been made. Yes Caitlyn Jenner is a moron who aligned herself with transphobic fascists who have legally mandated she be called by her deadname. Continuing to deadname her after the point is made is just additional cruelty on top without any additional benefit
Speaking more meta though, I fully understand the anger coming from people more to the left of Republicans, cruelty has won the Judiciary, congress and the presidency, cruelty has been an effective political strategy for republicans and a lot of people are angry and scared.
Personal injury lawyers might not be as big as they are, but lawsuits in the US are kind of important for more than just monetary compensation, it's to have case law and in essence introduce new regulations. McDonalds didn't just have to pay medical bills for the Hot Coffee lawsuit, but McDonalds also had to change how they serve their coffee. Its part compensation and part making sure it doesn't happen again or if it does, there is a clear path for what needs to happen. As awful as it is to have something bad happen, it's worse if we don't learn and change from it and our system of incorporating case law is pretty decent at that, if imperfect. No legal system can cover every scenario, but if it can adapt as new scenarios arise then it is all the more resilient (although that does kinda assume our Judiciary is truly impartial and there are no cronies trained by think tanks to give the illusion of impartiality)

Do conservative Evangelicals have any sense of irony?
Reason I said "certain anti-microbial properties". Both honey and garlic are able to slow the growth of some not so great bacteria like botulism for fermentation while also promoting the growth of good bacteria like lactobacillus.
"no support until it arises organically" that is literally the point of unions and mutual aid groups and literally any kind of organizing. Support and logistics is foundational to any kind of political organizing.
