Hate Speech, Hate Crime, and Ye

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter, hate speech has skyrocketed:

Anti-Black Slurs 🔺202%
Anti-Semitism 🔺61%
Homophobic Slurs 🔺58%

This may be unprecedented but it’s neither shocking nor unpreventable.https://t.co/6ftFzHAvSH

If railroad work is so important that the United States Congress can vote to prevent a strike, then railroad WORKERS should be important enough to have 7 days of paid sick leave.

This railroad worker clearly & powerfully explains why workers need to have each other’s backs, ahead of a potential strike:
