@UFWupdates My favourite Thanksgiving dish has always been the veggie tray. We do a large platter of carrots, celery, green pepper, radish, cucumber, pickles, olives, and a homemade dill dip.
Thank you, farm workers, for the amount of labour it takes to bring fresh veggies to our tables.
@JortsTheCat How is this even a question?! If they're working for that hour, they should get paid for it. Employees should be fairly compensated for their work. How is that debatable?
@CalynaHaunt @JortsTheCat Not surprising that a country built by colonisers is supporting this, but still very disappointing when you're one of people living in said country during an election where both major parties are happy to be complicit in genocide
@JortsTheCat Omg Jorts, there was a measure on our ballots regarding unions in the cannabis industry and someone wrote an argument for it with a hidden message. We got rickrolled in our voter pamphlets. It was hilarious.
Last year, taxpayers spent more on arming Israelβs genocide than the budget cuts facing the Department of Education.
What if our taxes went towards community needs instead of deadly weapons?

@JortsTheCat Yeah, no. We're not gonna try to shame people for being "outside the norm."
The idea of not falling in line with the majority as a negative thing is... kind of a huge problem if you want to claim your party isn't also oppressive & terrible.
@TheOklahoman_ Teachers who care enough to fight for actually educating students are the best possible teachers to have in your schools. OK clearly just wants to keep people ignorant.
@IncarcerNation Pigs have no respect for human life, so the fact that they enjoy animal cruelty isn't surprising. And ofc the sickos get to hide behind anonymity while they get what was surely only a slap on the wrist.
A-fucking-CAB
@UFWupdates It's been a century since the radium girls were killed by their jobs and the mindsets of the greedy people at the top haven't changed a bit
All people deserve to be able to work in environments that prioritize their safety
This is why unions are important
@UFWupdates And this isn't limited to the occasional accidental death of 1 employee at a factory or wherever
Cutting corners with safety to boost profits has led to some pretty catastrophic events such as what happened with the Challenger and 3 Mile Island nuclear power plant disasters
