say what you will about max's politics, biases, and funding, he just did more to try holding blinken accountable than any single journalist on cnn, and to write him off as an 'activist' being 'cringeworthy' because he asked the questions cnn failed to ask for over a year makes _cnn_ cringeworthy.

who does he think this is an indictment of and why isn't it the "heckler"

aaron david miller, senior fellow at carnegie

"In 27 years at State, never seen a situation where a Secretary of State - a caring compassionate man - is heckled in his own building by a heckler yelling “Why aren’t you in The Hague.”A new low in civility and discourse."

this is how the administration has handled everyone who has spoken out about the genocide in their presence since 2023 it's also how they handled college campus protests against it the fascism was already here

I also suspect that 'any immigrant suspected of being undocumented and/or having committed a crime' will reveal itself to be 'any person suspected of being an immigrant,' where the metric is just stuff like 'isn't white' or 'was speaking a language other than English'

This is not a "ban on transgender athletes"; it's sex testing mandate. The witchhunt for trans athletes under state laws like this has (by design I suspect) led to invasive persecution of cis and trans women alike based on how well they conform to (thin white and feminine) gender norms.

A very inspiring article: “We need to understand that we are infinitely more powerful than we’ve been told. When we organize and start making demands that are backed up by real power, the ruling class will get scared. We ended 2024 with a good look at that fear.”

Some may disagree with this, saying that workers are simply “paid what they’re worth." But this is a myth that puts blame on workers for not getting ahead — while giving the rich and powerful cover to rig the game for their own benefit and hoard unconscionable wealth.

"Why don't you just take a handful of rich clients who will pay you hourly and pay for everyone else?“ Because the last time I tried that the rich person told me that they now understood what it was like in Auschwitz because they couldn't use their yacht during the pendency of the case.

Why I am fine with Eat the Rich: Jeff Bezos announcing that he's marrying his next wife, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish $600m ceremony. They live in Florida. $600m would cover 2 years of FL k-12 free lunch programs. Last year the state discontinued the office that helped schools file for free lunches.

“How is the mortgage going to be paid” is a way they keep victims silent & violent cops on the street. Here’s a cop charged w domestic battery. The judge & parties agreed to an off-the-books OP to avoid crim trial & mandate it NOT be reported to law enforcement so the cop’s job isn’t impacted.

A judge ordering no contact with the victim, while also ordering that the OP not be reported to any law enforcement so that the accused abuser can keep his firearm and continue working.

Prosthetic limbs are usually custom made for one specific person. Repossessing a used prosthetic that only fits one specific person has no financial justification. It is just cruelty.

it's weird that people are homicidally angry at corporate America when a CEO hired four months ago fires the entire workforce of a 40-year-old company five days before Christmas with no severance and no benefits www.cnn.com/2024/12/20/b...

On the call with staff Friday, Litwin apologized for the lack of communication.

“We recognize the flow of communication has not been how we typically handle sensitive matters like this,” Litwin said.

Detailing corporate employees’ benefits and severance, Party City’s Chief Human Resources Officer Karen McGowan broke down in tears several times on the short video conference call.

“I certainly know this is a lot to take in,” McGowan said before she paused and teared up. “My apologies.”

The problem with this article is that the media hasn't been very empathetic here. This isn't a case of "white man kills family" and the photo is him jet skiing. The media has actually been trying pretty hard to shame everyone who is being empathetic to him. The empathy is coming from social media.
