August 2 - The Hatch Act Enacted

On this day in Labor History the year was 1939. That was the day that the Hatch Act was enacted. The law was named after Senator Carl Hatch, a Democratic Senator from New Mexico. The Hatch Act limits political activity by federal employees. One of the reasons the law was passed was due to allegations of corruption by the Works Progress Administration.

more and more unions are realizing that socialists have labor’s back and can fire up union members, unlike the democratic party status quo

so DHS agents seized an anti cop city organizer, took his phone with no warrant or evidence of wrongdoing, and now the trump admin is charging him with federal crimes for not letting them look through the phone they stole

Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com · 2w ago

New, by me: The Justice Department is prosecuting an American for allegedly providing U.S. border agents with a "duress" passcode that wiped the contents of his phone when they entered it. We've confirmed the phone was running GrapheneOS. Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260724...

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops. Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes. Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2] Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4] To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

The minimum wage isn't for "adult jobs" rhetoric is spreading across TikTok again like wild fire and I am so tired THERE. SHOULDNT. BE. ANY. JOBS. FOR. CHILDREN. AT. ALL.

Miss Riss@missriss.bsky.social · 9mo ago

The government shutdown fucking with SNAP has reinvigorated the discourse that minimum wage needs to stay low because those job are for teens so just going to remind you people who say that are literally advocating for child labor. Teenagers are still children.

Well if you break it down with class analysis, rural voters are just as valid in their reticence to support Dems. Republicans side with (the majority) them on social issues. And did Biden and Dems work “that hard?” Have Dems ever worked “that hard” on anything sense the new deal? Dubious

Asher Elbein@asherelbein.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Something we really have to grapple with: the Biden administration and Democratic congress worked pretty hard to drive real investment into rural communities, and many of them responded by spitting in the Democrats' face. This isn't an insurmountable problem, but it can't be papered over either
