Boycott Pep Boys

Automotive supply chain Pep Boys fired a Tucson store manager because his military Reserve duties took him away from work, according to a federal lawsuit filed here.
It may not be an isolated case. Several other reservists fired from Pep Boys in Tucson and Pennsylvania have contacted a military advocacy group with similar complaints.

I’m reminded of…

My dad moved from the North to Washington, DC in 1950. DC was then a Jim Crow city, and I asked him if it hadn’t bothered him. He said once: when he was eating in a Hot Shoppes restaurant (that was the first Marriott chain, like Denny’s but nicer) and they turned away a black customer in military uniform. This was during the Korean War.

What I find most telling about the story is that my dad was an opponent of and a conscientious objector from that war.

Pep Boys should be ashamed, and their lawyers will set them straight.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
