The "Gilded Age" lives on, but in 2024, Republicans are setting a new standard for human rights violations. Workers wouldn't be allowed rest breaks, even in the severe heat of FL's summers, which has worsened with #globalwarming.
28-11: The FL state Senate just passed a bill to remove local govts' authority to adopt heat standards, such as guaranteed shade and rest breaks, for workers.
The bill would make all local heat protections “void & prohibited.”

@dukepaaron Where do you find them….
@dukepaaron Who is this tosser?!
Reading this Axios headline is like getting randomly punched in the face by a stranger on the street.
The bipartisan immigration bill would have eliminated this backlog, by increasing the number of asylum officers by 330%. But the Republican Party explicitly refuses to vote on the bill, or ANY immigration bill.
The GOP literally announced, out loud, that this is all their fault. Nevertheless, Axios explicitly blames Biden for what THEY did.
@jargoggles @AlliFlowers @inthehands @StillIRise1963 #HorseshoeTheory manifest… All fundamental extremists are dangerous zealots -regardless of which book or god they worship. However, #Zionism is simply the belief that Israel has a right to exist, and there’s no getting around the sad reality that the legitimacy of #Israel & its right to self defense is singularly questioned & held to ridiculous double standards… IOW #AntiZionism = #antisemitism
