I’ve reached such a state of pessimism politically that, reading this article, I came away with the assumption that declaring the NLRB “unconstitutional” is basically a fait accompli at this point, and there’s very little anyone can do about it.
My schematic for interpreting the news has become, “Imagine the worst case scenario. Make the impact 10% less severe. Put the stupidest person you’ve ever met in charge of the solution.”
Labor can’t win under these conditions. On the one hand Republicans are chipping away at worker rights and establishment Democrats cut off opportunities for us to fight back legally.

The cognitive dissonance people seem to have about how much damage the Republicans are doing while defending Democrats who prevent us from fighting back when we can is crazy. This is a class war. If we’re not willing to take any risks we lose.
Democrats claim to be the champions of freedom and free speech, etc etc - and totally nowhere close to a fascist - yet I’ve been banned from three communities now for pointing out the labor issues of dems and the whole “sidestepping congress to back genocide” thing.
“Calling us out for breaking the law is unconstitutional”
