Are you plugged into Maine politics at all anymore? I remember hearing that somebody was going to primary Collins awhile back, but haven’t heard much from her campaign since.

Not really; I check the local newspaper websites periodically out of habit.
 
Good article on the BS Warren and woman are going through from the Bernie wing. It starts with John Legend calling out Bernie supporters. Clearly I’m not the only one who notices their shit.

On Monday, singer John Legend, a star by any measure, tweeted his choice for president to his 13.2 million followers:

"I'll be voting for Elizabeth Warren in the CA Democratic primary."

Whoo-boy.

Soon after, Legend felt the need to add this:

"Some of you Bernie supporters do quite the disservice to your candidate, who seems to be a great human being. Try not to drive people away with your nastiness. I will happily vote for him if he wins the primary. Chill."

Miami and Tampa are already doing rocket dockets to reduce fines and fees for returning citizens. Red counties aren’t.

I see all the weeping and gnashing about this “poll tax” and it’s somewhat misguided. It is a poll tax. But we can’t compare it to the poll taxes of all. Times are different. There are wealthy people who could and would pay the poll tax now. There weren’t then.

If George Soros pledged to pay the fines and fees for every Democrat, the Pubs would call an emergency session to change that law in a second.

it was also preceded by the board's most annoying boomer parroting the generalization rhetoric behind every millennial opinion piece ever written so
 
Can you imagine the absolute rage on here if a millennial brought an ageism suit just bc someone called them a millennial and it made it all the way to SCOTUS? Snowflakiest generation there ever was, boomers. I remember actual conference tracks about how employers needed to treat millennials differently in the workplace because they don’t take criticism well and only communicate via text and emoji.

It’s almost as if the problem isn’t the millennials. The problem is the snowflake boomers who can’t manage people who are different than themselves and don’t adhere to their specific demands.

Oh and they can’t hack it in a rapidly changing world they no longer control.

"Roman Martinez compared the case to "using ethnic slurs" or "saying unflattering things" about a person, arguing that in a hiring process, it could indeed indicate discrimination."

hmm one of these things is steeped in generations upon generations of violence and exclusion and the other is pretty obviously not.
 
It’s no wonder so many latch onto King Trump. “The dishonest media is very mean and unfair to me !”

I don't think okay Boomer or there there Millennial is an appropriate thing to say to an applicant during a hiring process. I wouldn't think an age discrimination suit in a hiring context would be any different from a millennial in that situation than it is from a boomer here.
 
I’m not even talking about the merits of the suit, I’m talking about the intergenerational discourse
