17. What a fucking joke. "He said we couldn't arrest all of them, so that's how I knew it was a conspiracy" what a fucking loon. 15. Also shows that the guy that locked the gate wasn't the one they arrested. If you knew it was illegal, why did they wait and arrest someone else?

17. I asked HUERTA to move away from the gate because he was impeding law enforcement access into and out of the premises. HEURTA responded "what are you going to do, you can't arrest all of us". This indicated to me that he and the others had planned in advance of arrival to disrupt the operation.

I proudly stand with the ICE protestors in LA and am exactly as nervous as the other commentators pointing out this is likely a precursor for martial law. So a reminder to everyone that every single person involved in these scenarios is a human and they are worth more than property. Life > stuff

"pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy". Those are the definitional standards, unless you'd like to provide better ones. So let's break it down. Trump is absolutely grandiose about the Russia war, "it never would've happened if I was president, ended on day 1"

I feel like you are being beyond vague compared to the detailed explanations I've attempted to give you. Your linked article seems somewhat misleading as it doesn't appear to "eliminate the right" at all; in fact many provisions talk about how to handle a live hearing. It removes the Requirement

eliminate the right to a live hearing to contest the allegations;
eliminate the right to cross-examine one’s accuser and witnesses;
weaken the right to be represented by lawyers in campus sexual misconduct expulsion proceedings; and
allows for the return of the “single-investigator” model, in which a single administrator serves as prosecutor, judge, and jury

In light of recent events, I think it's time we once again talk about removing the US from the G7, and adding some new counterparts. South Korea, Australia, and Brazil all recently elected strong, virtuous by comparison leaders, and they would be good additions. The US tarriffed every G7 country

Trump frames pushing Russia out of the G8 as a bad thing, which means it must have been done by the left. Meanwhile, both things are untrue, it's actually one of the only good things conservatives have ever done, and it's time Canada does it again to the US

I'll hide the full quote in the alt text of this picture, as it's just too long.

On an issue that is as fundamental as how we constitute who represents us and who gets to govern our country, it is essential that this process be free from politics and any partisan influence and interests. Political parties will be biased in any recommendation they offer. Parties such as the Conservatives, which have shown that they cannot work with other parties, will want to keep the first-past-the-post system so that they can shoot for a majority and impose their minority will on Canadians. Big tent parties such as the Liberal Party would seek some sort of a ranked ballot, so parties that appeal broadly get rewarded. Single-issue parties such as the Greens will want proportional representation, so a smaller vote share in many ridings across the country will lead to their having greater representation. We know that the NDP is in favour of mixed member proportionality, where it would be able to leverage some single-issue, single-stakeholder matters, as well as taking advantage of some regional strengths. Of course, the Bloc would likely prefer to keep the system as it is right now, as they have much greater representation than their vote share at this point.

It blows my mind that this has taken even this long to catch on. People get riled when they're told they have a mandatory tip on their bill. This, the exact same practice, is somehow heroic. Both should be basic standards, not demonized or applauded. Pay your employees fairly

A restaurant in Austin Texas attempting to lead the charge in the US on fair wages in restaurants. Sign reads:
To create a liveable wage for front and back of house employees, we factored the cost of labor into menu prices. This policy ensures employees are paid better per hour than industry standards, are provided with benefits, and can maintain financial stability.

As a result, tipping is not expecting.

To any of my Canadian followers: supporting the Canada post strike is both incredibly easy and the right thing to do. 40% of their workforce is a part time or temporary worker, despite full time hours. Meaning no benefits. New employees get stocks instead of a pension. Support the strike

A canada post letter carrier salary was $18/hr in 1988. 30 years later, it's only increased to $30/h, only a $12 increase. Just matching inflation, their wage should be close to $40/h.

Another amazing point by Robert Reich. There are plenty of companies making way less than Amazon that have ALL staff paid more than $20 an hour. For most locations in the US, that is a minimum living wage. Billionaires are an error in policy, not a success goal. Raise taxes, raise min wage

"Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees.

But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% of jobs for Walmart pay less than $20/hr.
