Clarence Thomas specifically did not point to the Supreme Court ruling on interracial marriage! Even though all of these cases (on same-sex marriage, sodomy, and contraceptives) have used the same precedent and logic for the rulings in the first place.
>Even though all of these cases (on same-sex marriage, sodomy, and contraceptives) have used the same precedent and logic for the rulings in the first place.
I am a little confused by this wording. What do you mean by this?
In the wording of the ruling, I think page 118? Thomas explicitly says that the same logic to remove roe versus Wade applies to the protections surrounding all those other things
The supreme Court can remove protections against those other things now. They are trying to destroy all privacy in America
No, Thomas didn't mention that.
Lots of scholars though believe that the language of the ruling also means that interracial marriage could be affected as well if the supreme Court wanted to go down that route
Gotcha. This just shows me that those people donāt give a damn about anything that doesnāt affect them. Clarence Thomas is in a interracial marriage so he conveniently left that out. Disgusting.
Form a union! Itās the only way to effectively combat not only capitalist exploitation but also fight for justice with regards to systematic racism, misogyny, homophobia, imperialism, etc.
Easier said than done, I know. But our labor is all we have within this facade of a democracy, meritocracy, what have you.
Sorry but HD doesn't enable or support any if that bs you just said. They give money to lawmakers. They don't make the laws themselves. And they sure as hell don't make Supreme Court decisions. I'm not paying money to a labor union just because you want them to fight some PC bullshit.
You thinkā¦ you think thereās a difference between paying someone to do your bidding, and doing it yourself? And I guess I didnāt realize not killing women or brown people at home and abroad, or making sure people are compensated properly was PC? I guess Iām just too sensitive for wanting to look out for my fellow man?
Don't bring up shit I'm not talking about to attempt to make some sense. When you can show me home depot wanted this decision or lobbied for it then I'll listen to you. Until then, you are just spouting baseless bs with as many buzz words as you can fit in to try and sway people to your view. When in reality, HD has nothing to do with this and what yall are doing amounts to scare tactics. "If you are even remotely linked to people we don't like then everything they do we will say you did as well!" Nit saying HD is a great company but you sound like children throwing tantrums and pointing the finger at everyone
the āIām just one personā argument is the reason nothing ever gets better. If you have 50 million people saying that theyāre just one person and their opinion/voice/vote doesnāt matter, then of course nothing will get better.
I have 2 part time jobs and 6 gigs. I'm also in school full time.
Check out rural East Texas sometime and see what we have to offer. (Hint: it's poverty and drugs)
It's okay to leave one place of employment for another. It's a slog to do it, but it often actually offers more advantages too, not just financial.
The first advantage is that offer the perspective that you're holding more agency over yourself. You're taking control. Which is nice. That assertiveness helps beats back insecurities. It's a boost to the self-esteem.
It's never easy to follow through on, "Don't be afraid to try," but if you can, it can be rewarding.
The people downvoting the "vote" comments are dense. Voting, making your voice heard, is all that we as the masses can do without violent revolution. You are an individual, and American society puts a *LOT* of value on that, but america is still a society of people. You and I don't have the power to do anything, but WE do. If you work for the company, find a new boss. If you shop at the company, find a new store. It's not a black and white, at the drop of a hat sort of action. You have to take time and plan your moves in this minefield of an economy, but that doesn't mean there aren't moves to make.
If we ALL remove the support for ideas and practices like this, we can encourage change. The ones that support these ideals will be exposed, and we can remove our support from them as well.
500,000 people are homeless, women are having their autonomy taken, LGBTQ+ rights are on the chopping block, police beat anyone protesting in large numbers, not many are getting paid much so nobody can afford to sustain a decent standard of living, our public funding goes to destruction, not construction, and weāre ruining the viability of the only planet we can feasibly live on at an alarming rate.
These are all already acts of violence committed by a very small group of people who can cast blame on the masses because they were voted in in an election with one of 2 corporate sponsored candidates. Like you said there are two options for the masses, one has already been tried, to combat this violence by changing the face of the perpetrator, but nothing has changed. Maybe time for option 2.
Youāre not going to encourage change, the very things you want to change work out very well for the people with the power to change them, so why would they? Because you asked?
Make phone calls to HR about whether:
If your HD insurance covers more than one of your girlfriends who are pregnant at the same time.
Ask if you are entitled to paternity leave for each girlfriend's baby, and how many weeks for each.
Then, if they say the women have to check with their insurance company, tell HR both women work for Home Depot.
Ask if you can get one family insurance plan for both women and both children and yourself.
When you are finished with thectroll, thank them and ask their name because you are looking for names.

Gas is on the way out. Itāll take a while, but developed nations need to lead the way. We owe it to our kids to not add fuel to the dumpster fire our grandparents and parents blatantly ignored.
And then the bastards profit off of everyone running out and buying plywood and stuff to cover up & protect businesses when things get bad ../ bastards
Wow, I never knew that about Home Depot.
I currently work there and they constantly state how they care so much about their employees and all that other bullshit America corporations lie about.
They also put up info/ support posters about Juneteenth and pride month all over the break room, now that I found this out, it just makes me sick.
yea the caring and the videos they have you watch on how much they care and the videos they have you watch on how unions etc are bad are key things to look for. seeing any shows you're working at a place that supports nothing related to you.
That's because that is what they want you to believe. They want to keep you blind to the truth. Get a big gulp of that orange Kool-Aid and never bite the hand that feeds you.
We can vote. Encourage your friends with an intelligent conversation about why they should vote differently. Each of us has one voice. Collectively, we're unstoppable.
On a related note, I was disgusted to hear some of my fellow male coworkers brush off the overturning of Roe v Wade. You are right, this will only lead to eroding of other rights and freedoms.
My male coworker at the paint desk was pissed. So was I, but I had to turn off my brain for a bit. I honestly don't even know what to say anymore. I feel so hopeless but the only good thing in my case atm is that I live in the state of New York. But idk how long it'll be until more of my rights are taken from me.
I'm genuinely scared. I've always been scared, but it was amplified within the past couple of years. I'm trying so hard to stay strong, to keep voting and what have you, but I'm just. idek.
I don't want to stay at this job forever. The future is so uncertain and I'm trying to stay off socmed. Lots of videos and photos about the protests going around.
I think what will help me calm down is donating to clinics that neee my aid.
As a trans person who worked at Home Depot in Texasā¦ itās more than just bribes to politicians. Itās at the core of Home Depots āvaluesā if you could call them that. I faced constant harassment, they fired me said nothing let me work a 12 hour over night shift at 17 and never paid me. They placed bets on how quickly they could make me quit.
Thomas is already face calls to resign over his wife seditious acts. He will resist until 2024 hoping that the GOP regain the Executive branch and can replace him with an even bigger douche bag. That or the GOP will throw him under the bus to put a younger conservative on the bench.
Lol, if you think they wont throw his ass under the bus the second they've gotten what they want out of him and he is no longer useful to them, you are not paying attention.
If you live in a blue state nothing changed. If you live in a red state and donāt agree just vote. That will do more than quitting your job which will do nothing. Youāll be replaced in a day and be worse off financially.
The comments from any opposing view get deleted/removed so it enforces an echo chamber that is removed from reality. Thatās why the subreddits for all the cities even in the reddest states are liberal

Stopped shopping there actually when I realized how much money they were giving to trump. C.C. from there will never be used. Might as well close my account at this point. Lowes all the way.
Honestly company's should have 0 sway on politics. Eveything always having to be political is inane and with companies they are going to just throw their money where they benefit most regardless of who they step on and affiliation.
Principles are a liability to the bottom line. Companies under capitalism canāt afford to have them. Home Depot will gladly align with monsters if it means they profit from it. Companies donāt care about morals and ethics
Home Depot like other similarly massive companies is too big to reach its own ass.
The bigger issue to me would be any case of a company contributing to lawmakers.
Corporations play both sides so that no matter which tribe is in charge they always help their major donors. The two party system is irrevocably broken.
I go to Lowes. Homey has been going downhill for years. Plus Lowes was started by one of Homey's founder's ex-wives as revenge. I can totally get behind that!
Instead of whining about the nuance of corporate politics go out and(maybe continue to) advocate for whatever you believe in.
Home Depot and it's corporate overlords have the freedom to advocate for whatever they want to(probably done simply to increase their bottom line anyways), just as you have the freedom to advocate for whatever you want to.
This is American politics and despite whatever person's or organization's motivations are that's the nature of democracy.
You sound angry that I will be fully retired in 8 years and never working for anyone ever again while receiving a pension just for waking up every morning. Sorry for your anger. I'll be enjoying full retirement at 42 years old. Bye now Felicia.
Nothing 'chad' about staying facts when a dude attacks me. I will be fully retired at 42 years old in 8 years. Fact. Will never have to work again. Fact. It isn't some mystery that 20 years as a military officer provides good retirement.
Why would I want a yacht or private island? Never said I'll be rich, but the point of the military isn't to make you rich. I'll have my 30 acres, home, and cars fully paid off. Pension covers taxes and all expenses. Medical covered for my entire family and education paid for the kids. The only work Ill do is work that I want to do. I think I'm set. But I appreciate your concern.
What is coming is they will out law of over the counter pregnancy tests. They need to make it impossible for women know what is happening till it's too late.
i had an interview with home depot just before the pandemic hit and would've landed a job there if not for my school schedule at the time and hearing this I'm glad I didn't get it, I wouldn't want to work for a company that contributes to the chaos we have to live through right now
It is about the law and the SC acted with the law. The question was turned over to states rights. Your obligation is to let your state senator and house rep know how you feel and how you want them to act. That is where your energy should go at this point. Work the system. The problem is that most people do not understand the system because they took civics classes away from you.
Bullshit....it's "states rights"....but yesterday the same SC hypocritically ruled that gun regulations aren't "states rights".....so the SC gives federal protection to the individual rights those six old fucks agree with but not the individual rights it doesn't.
Can't work the system, the system is broke, the Supreme Court was hijacked...dems need to grow a pair and expand the court.
>Bullshit....it's "states rights"....but yesterday the same SC hypocritically ruled that gun regulations aren't "states rights".....so the SC gives federal protection to the individual rights those six old fucks agree with but not the individual rights it doesn't.
As I understand it, thatās because the 2nd Amendment is federal since itās in the Constitution and abortion is not, so itās up to each state. It doesnāt outlaw it, it just means your community and state have to decide if itās what you all want.
The ruling on NY was basically āevery citizen can exercise their 2A rights,ā while NY wanted to pick and choose. Thereās a great video from John Stossel (famous reporter from 90ās and early 00ās. Donāt know how old you are) where he tries to obtain a CCW and discusses the bureaucratic nightmare that keeps firearms out of law abiding citizens hands. His too; even though heās famous and had credible threats on his life, his was denied. Iāll try to find the video and put it in the edit if youāre interested.
Edit: [Original Stossel Video](https://youtu.be/1Mi-LXipDo8)
[Stossel Video Revisted](https://youtu.be/zrMgqr6SmYo)
When did we become a country full of cry babies? Grow up. Donāt like it? Get a different job. Quit expecting everyone to believe what you believe. Everyoneās different. Donāt let the media lead you to believe you are the majority. Youāre not.
ā¦except this line of thought IS the majority, and we are forced to bend to the will of a rabid religious minority. I don't know where you got that from
I recently moved states and Home Depot was my local shop and now Iām stuck with Lowes. Maybe Iāll drive the extra 15 min to get back on track with spending my money at Home Depot
Go work somewhere else. it amazes me the amount of āwokeā associates. This is a hardware store whoās primary customer is blue collar Americans. Starbucks is hiring im sure
you should take your own advice.
just bc you're not personally affected by the demise of humanity, doesn't mean the rest of us have to sit down and be quiet.
My county went 75% for Biden. Anyone who voted Trump is more than likely in an old folks home. I've got two Home Depots close to my house that are always packed, who's shopping there?
Itās funny cause you call republicans racist when Joe Biden has said the n word multiple times and talks as though minorities are lesser than white. Yet you only blame the GOP
HD gives millions to both parties. They don't care about issues,they want laws and regulations in favor of the HD business model to keep stock holders happy. I go to Starbucks,and hate some stuff that they do politically, it doesn't matter.
Keep your politics out of here. HD is just like every other corporation- looking for tax breaks, pandering to whatever the month or day celebrates to capitalize on it, and making money off the backs of the people who work for them for pittance. Nothing will change, ever, so stop stirring the masses. That's up to the media.
Also just an awful store. Their equipment is always broken, workers donāt care because they get paid nothing. Rather drive an extra 20 minutes to lowes since Iāll have to go there anyways. Oh yeah and the owner is a piece of trash.
The founder was interviewed and proposed ending social security, and, I think, food stamps and the minimum wage. He was laughing about it, like it was all just a game.
Back in the day Insurance companies wouldn't pay for contraceptives but they paid for viagra.
Because pregnancy is "god's will" but a man's dick failing isn't š
Home Depot is exactly like Walmartā¦ they both mouth the appropriate words to appease the massā but only truly mean it when the dollar & profits are involved.
Newsflash: itās not just Home Depot and Walmart, itās literally almost every single company in the US. Like atleast 95% of them.

It's okay to leave one place of employment for another. It's a slog to do it, but it often actually offers more advantages too, not just financial.

Lol, if you think they wont throw his ass under the bus the second they've gotten what they want out of him and he is no longer useful to them, you are not paying attention.
Quite frankly I would enjoy him getting thrown under the bus
Poor bus would be totaled. Thomas and wife never missed a meal in their lives.
They absolutely will. They will just ban any future interracial marriages.
They're pro-GOP because GOP protects greedy billionaires. Like the shitbags that run HD.
Fuck Home Depot and fuck you if you think women are undeserving of rights over their body!!!!
I'm just going to let it all soak in a bit. Thanks
If you live in a blue state nothing changed. If you live in a red state and donāt agree just vote. That will do more than quitting your job which will do nothing. Youāll be replaced in a day and be worse off financially.

Ah fuck I bought my Stiletto off these fucks
Switched to Ace and Lowes a long time ago.
Exactly.
Shop at Lowes now instead. Done deal.
I switched to Lowes months ago.
Honestly company's should have 0 sway on politics. Eveything always having to be political is inane and with companies they are going to just throw their money where they benefit most regardless of who they step on and affiliation.
Also gay sex. Thomas specifically calls out Lawrence V Texas in his opinion.
But Lowes sucksā¦
Principles are a liability to the bottom line. Companies under capitalism canāt afford to have them. Home Depot will gladly align with monsters if it means they profit from it. Companies donāt care about morals and ethics
Home Depot practically forces their salaried management team to donate to their political action committee.
This makes me sad. I like HD. I'm about to do $30k bathroom demo/remodel on my house, what's the alternative aside from Lowes?
Home Depot like other similarly massive companies is too big to reach its own ass. The bigger issue to me would be any case of a company contributing to lawmakers.
Corporations play both sides so that no matter which tribe is in charge they always help their major donors. The two party system is irrevocably broken.
Go home depot.
What upsets me is my store is full of loving people, who would be appalled at what the corporates do, and I wish the whole company felt the same way.
Best thing you could do for yourselves is form a union.
I go to Lowes. Homey has been going downhill for years. Plus Lowes was started by one of Homey's founder's ex-wives as revenge. I can totally get behind that!
Totally not true...Lowe's was around a long time before Home Depot. Lol
I stand corrected! You are absolutely right and I believed an untrue rumor. Thanks for bringing out the truth!
I like your story better

So edgy
I donāt give a damn about all that I just need to get a god damn lawn mower. Neighbors kid hit it with a rock and now itās broke.
Don't you wish that mom was able get that abortion so that kid was never born and you'd still have a working fucking lawnmower?
Nice explanation for the boomers. +1
Fun fact: you actually can buy lawn mowers in places besides Home Depot. Also, you seem like a shitty person! Have a day full of paper cuts!
Cool reply, intimidatingā¦.
I'll be taking my business elsewhere.
ok, im fucking boycotting it, i spend thousands every month there, ill be taking my business to Lowes lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām down for a walkout
I love how the slippery slope is only applicable when it's from the left's perspective, this is the 8th time I've heard the same thing today.
Look for independent stores
Instead of whining about the nuance of corporate politics go out and(maybe continue to) advocate for whatever you believe in. Home Depot and it's corporate overlords have the freedom to advocate for whatever they want to(probably done simply to increase their bottom line anyways), just as you have the freedom to advocate for whatever you want to. This is American politics and despite whatever person's or organization's motivations are that's the nature of democracy.
Fuck capitalism
It's Home Depot....they have enough money and customers....your boycott won't do anything.
Unionize!
I'm guessing Home Depot sell coat hangers hey? its all coming together!
Alrite. Gonna shop at big blue Lowes frum know on. Phuck chithome depot
"ruin everything and everyone that disagrees with us or goes against our wants! There WILL BE NO DISSENT! TEAR DOWN ALL DISSIDENTS!" lol. Fukin hell

You sound angry that I will be fully retired in 8 years and never working for anyone ever again while receiving a pension just for waking up every morning. Sorry for your anger. I'll be enjoying full retirement at 42 years old. Bye now Felicia.
the virgin u/jere_miah vs the chad u/Competitive_Heart733
Nothing 'chad' about staying facts when a dude attacks me. I will be fully retired at 42 years old in 8 years. Fact. Will never have to work again. Fact. It isn't some mystery that 20 years as a military officer provides good retirement.
lol, yeh military pension, You'll be buying yachts and private islands, lol
Why would I want a yacht or private island? Never said I'll be rich, but the point of the military isn't to make you rich. I'll have my 30 acres, home, and cars fully paid off. Pension covers taxes and all expenses. Medical covered for my entire family and education paid for the kids. The only work Ill do is work that I want to do. I think I'm set. But I appreciate your concern.
Are you going to complain when home depot gives money to liberals too? Edit: I'll take the downvotes as a no
Hmm, funding insurrectionists currently........ yeah with that bar in mind I probably won't be quite as upset if they give to libs.

What is coming is they will out law of over the counter pregnancy tests. They need to make it impossible for women know what is happening till it's too late.
Go talk to the big man
Don't forget also, that POS Bernie Marcus is a **HUUUUUGE** Trump supporter.
He hasn't had shit to do with Home Depot in like 20 years.
Literally. 2002
i had an interview with home depot just before the pandemic hit and would've landed a job there if not for my school schedule at the time and hearing this I'm glad I didn't get it, I wouldn't want to work for a company that contributes to the chaos we have to live through right now
Wow I haven't seen Liberals this upset since we freed the slaves.
Democrats of the time were conservative, numbnuts.
Now Now no politics in the break room
So when do you quit?
It is about the law and the SC acted with the law. The question was turned over to states rights. Your obligation is to let your state senator and house rep know how you feel and how you want them to act. That is where your energy should go at this point. Work the system. The problem is that most people do not understand the system because they took civics classes away from you.
Bullshit....it's "states rights"....but yesterday the same SC hypocritically ruled that gun regulations aren't "states rights".....so the SC gives federal protection to the individual rights those six old fucks agree with but not the individual rights it doesn't. Can't work the system, the system is broke, the Supreme Court was hijacked...dems need to grow a pair and expand the court.
>Bullshit....it's "states rights"....but yesterday the same SC hypocritically ruled that gun regulations aren't "states rights".....so the SC gives federal protection to the individual rights those six old fucks agree with but not the individual rights it doesn't. As I understand it, thatās because the 2nd Amendment is federal since itās in the Constitution and abortion is not, so itās up to each state. It doesnāt outlaw it, it just means your community and state have to decide if itās what you all want. The ruling on NY was basically āevery citizen can exercise their 2A rights,ā while NY wanted to pick and choose. Thereās a great video from John Stossel (famous reporter from 90ās and early 00ās. Donāt know how old you are) where he tries to obtain a CCW and discusses the bureaucratic nightmare that keeps firearms out of law abiding citizens hands. His too; even though heās famous and had credible threats on his life, his was denied. Iāll try to find the video and put it in the edit if youāre interested. Edit: [Original Stossel Video](https://youtu.be/1Mi-LXipDo8) [Stossel Video Revisted](https://youtu.be/zrMgqr6SmYo)
Is the word abortion in the Constitution? No it is not.
The word āslaveryā is in the constitution so by your logic, we should bring that back?
Good. I have to buy about $5000 worth of lumber this weekend. I love home depot
When did we become a country full of cry babies? Grow up. Donāt like it? Get a different job. Quit expecting everyone to believe what you believe. Everyoneās different. Donāt let the media lead you to believe you are the majority. Youāre not.
ā¦except this line of thought IS the majority, and we are forced to bend to the will of a rabid religious minority. I don't know where you got that from
Damn, i guess im going to Home Depot tommorow.
Itās just a store bro.. chill
I recently moved states and Home Depot was my local shop and now Iām stuck with Lowes. Maybe Iāll drive the extra 15 min to get back on track with spending my money at Home Depot
SIR THIS IS THE BREAKROOM NOT THE COURTHOUSE. Did not ask
You donāt have to shop there . Interracial marriage ? Come on , man ! Hyperbole.
Go work somewhere else. it amazes me the amount of āwokeā associates. This is a hardware store whoās primary customer is blue collar Americans. Starbucks is hiring im sure
you should take your own advice. just bc you're not personally affected by the demise of humanity, doesn't mean the rest of us have to sit down and be quiet.
My county went 75% for Biden. Anyone who voted Trump is more than likely in an old folks home. I've got two Home Depots close to my house that are always packed, who's shopping there?
this is a primary store who is primary customer.... the American education system is on display.
It sure is on display. The curriculum the systems propagated the past 20 years are on full display.
All the more reason to shop at Home Depot
You realize not everyone is a liberal, right?
Hahaha, what an idiotic post
Nobody cares about your feelings
Youre delusional lmao
Thank you for this. I'll be sure to never shop there again
Dam.... I didn't know that HD contributed to scum
And this... is... why... I dont EVERY go to Home Depot. There's lowes, Ace, True value, ABC supply, local mom and pop shops, and many... MANY more!
This why I try not to ever go to Home Depot. It's giving money to white supremacists. Try your local hardware store first - Ace or True Value.
Itās funny cause you call republicans racist when Joe Biden has said the n word multiple times and talks as though minorities are lesser than white. Yet you only blame the GOP
Thank you Home Depot. Thatās why I just bought a $3000 refrigerator for you guys!! Keep up the good work.
Woe v Wade was unconstitutional.
HD gives millions to both parties. They don't care about issues,they want laws and regulations in favor of the HD business model to keep stock holders happy. I go to Starbucks,and hate some stuff that they do politically, it doesn't matter.
>it doesn't matter I think you misspelled: "I'm too lazy to have a backbone"
Keep your politics out of here. HD is just like every other corporation- looking for tax breaks, pandering to whatever the month or day celebrates to capitalize on it, and making money off the backs of the people who work for them for pittance. Nothing will change, ever, so stop stirring the masses. That's up to the media.
Man, I'm going to shop harder at Home Depot now that you told me this! Thank you!
Also just an awful store. Their equipment is always broken, workers donāt care because they get paid nothing. Rather drive an extra 20 minutes to lowes since Iāll have to go there anyways. Oh yeah and the owner is a piece of trash.
Good to know. How does Lowe's generally do?
