    Feeling totally justified in all my "yeah, nah" responses to people asking for donations to the ACLU rn

    Not surprising coming from the official org for enlightened centrist dems and law school nerds who cum at the idea of protecting nazis. They defend literal hate groups.

    Mandatory arbitration agreements 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

    At this point why not just have mandatory gladiatorial agreements? Just make an employment contract that requires employees to settle disputes out of court and in the field of blood and battle. There's basically no difference.

    Employee gets fired for allegedly making racist comments
    Employee tries to sue for wrongful termination
    ACLU tries to force private arbitration
    NLRB slaps arbitration down.
    ACLU targets the NLRB.

    Well this is a fine mess indeed

    It took over two years of grass roots fighting the state before national groups ACLU and GLaaD came in to help. Once it was inevitable we were going to go national and they couldn't ignore us any more. That laywer who was in on the beginning, Dana Nessel, is currently now the state AG.

    They don't want to solve issues. Solving issues means you have to find a new racket. Never mind the resume padder of actually fixing shit. Drag that shit out as long as you can. They're a bunch of laywers and grifters who see dollar signs.

    Love how the founders of the ACLU were commies and it's denigrated to this
