"Being pregnant isn’t a protected class. She’ll lose that lawsuit all day long, every day."

Not so fast.

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act did indeed put preggers in the protected class. See the section on Young v. United Parcel Service for its current-day status.

Frankly, it's only because SCOTUS has trended conservative this century that the PDA hasn't been grossly expanded to cover this woman's layoff. Young was only 6-3 from a conservative majority, and put up a fairly easy test to overcome IF the woman can prove she wasn't accommodated.

This goofy broad at Twitter is shit-out-of-luck in that regard since Twitter was a goofy playhouse loft where anyone could do anything but work.

I mis-spoke, and yet here's the reality: She's only protected if she was fired because she's pregnant.

She's the one with the burden of proof, to prove that claim true. Not Twitter/Musk.

Being part of a mass layoff very likely gives Twitter/Musk cover.
