@EvilMopacATX completely outrageous morning commute that could only have been topped by the even more totally frustrating evening commute.

And there will be those moments when the buoyancy of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of despair.
Let us realize that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

Today let us remember the words of Dr. King:

"the road ahead will not always be smooth. There will still be rocky places of frustration and meandering points of bewilderment. There will be inevitable setbacks here and there...🧵

It's Election Day. Hey Mr. Employment Lawyer, do I have a legal right to leave work to go vote? The answer might surprise you...

Generally, yes - you do have the right to take time off from your shift to vote today, but there are things you need to know . . . 1/? 🧵

[Austin Kaplan @AustinForTexas]

- Employers cannot refuse to allow employees time off to vote when they are legally entitled to it, and
- Retaliation protection covers actual or threatened loss of wages or other employment benefits.
