How did politics become so many people's religion, such that they are willing to throw away their jobs and livelihoods to proclaim their opinion in every little way? Just bite your tongue at work. And done.

I don’t understand pushing an agenda on anyone, no matter what. Having constructive conversation is smart, but driving opinions down the the throats of others, ESPECIALLY children, is not going to solve anything.
Teachers are there to educate kids, not fucking talk shit about everyone who doesn’t share the same ideas and opinions.

NRA Was 'Foreign Asset' To Russia Ahead of 2016, New Senate Report Reveals
The National Rifle Association acted as a "foreign asset" for Russia in the period leading up to the 2016 election, according to a new investigation unveiled Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.

Drawing on contemporaneous emails and private interviews, an 18-month probe by the Senate Finance Committee's Democratic staff found that the NRA underwrote political access for Russian nationals Maria Butina and Alexander Torshin more than previously known — even though the two had declared their ties to the Kremlin.

Justice Department veterans say Trump could be accused of breaking 4 laws in the Ukraine whistleblower scandal
  • On Thursday, the House Intelligence Committee released an explosive whistleblower complaint from an intelligence official accusing President Donald Trump of "using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 US election."
  • By pressuring Ukraine's government to investigate his political rivals — and possibly using taxpayer-funded military aid as leverage — Trump may have also violated federal laws.
  • "The conduct discussed in this complaint is so direct that it's striking," said Elie Honig, a former federal prosecutor from the Southern District of New York who specialized in organized crime.
  • In all, former prosecutors told Insider, there are at least four areas where Trump could face legal jeopardy: violating federal campaign finance laws, bribery, misappropriation, and conspiracy.

This is probably unconstitutional

Key part of this is "in public accommodations, employment or housing." Immigration advocacy groups have actually spent decades trying to get some kind of protections for people whose landlords and employers use the old "I'm gonna call Immigration!" threat to not do repairs in buildings, withhold pay, dismiss complaints, increase rent, or cover illegal activity. It's actually an incredibly common form of harassment and even if the person in question is authorized to be here, the employer/landlord often makes the threat under the pretext that someone else in their home or nearby residence might not be. I can see this opening up some serious interpretive issues around the meaning of "threat," but the fact that it's coming through the human rights commission means it'll be litigated in civil courts.

So you or I are free to tell visiting Canadians we'll send them back to their country in NY, but not if they work for us or live in our buildings. Of course, places like the Daily Wire and Fox are reporting a very different version of the story in their headlines.

There's a lot of nuance in this situation and some of it is being ignored in both your post and the one quoted.

When someone is hiring someone illegally it's going to be under a quid pro quo. Now, the person who's breaking the law to hire the illegal immigrant has no leverage in their end of the deal.
