DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

Health insurance kinda sucks, bc you pay them a bunch of money each month, for them to literally do nothing, and then when you really need it, some automated claims denial robot tells you to eat shit and die.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Prosecution of people who help clients evade tax in UK falls by 75% in five years. Less than 5 criminal cases in 2023-24, down from 16 in 2018-19 Data provided by Treasury to Parliament, in reply to my question, was inflated and incorrect. Govts soft on tax dodge industry.

Very, very easy to introduce a Wealth Tax in the UK, the largest 200 companies get £80bn a year in tax breaks, Amazon gets nearly £3bn by themselves. Simply make them pay the £80bn, guess who owns more then 90% of them? The richest 1%.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

This is big. Far-right troll site Guido Fawkes has always claimed it isn't subject to UK libel law as it's officially offshore. Today it conceded that it defamed Dale Vince, making clear it it's subject to UK law. No more dodging scrutiny. Staines will have to play by the rules like the rest of us.

Dale Vince
@DaleVince
Guido Fawkes used a doctored news clip to smear my reputation and it snowballed into a right-wing pile-on involving the Daily Mail, GB News, three Tory MPs, one Peer, Richard Tice and Paul Staines.

Having just beaten the Daily Mail for the second time - If this were a football game the score right now would be seven nil. I believe in free speech and a free press - but neither of those things is the freedom to be dishonest.

The court ruling today makes clear that I was seriously defamed by Paul Staines and that left him with no real prospect at a full hearing. He has therefore conceded. Paul Staines is now liable for substantial damages and costs and must remove the pages on his website which contain his falsehoods and refrain from repeating the allegations.

I believe this case is the first successfully pursued against Paul Staines and his Guido Fawkes operation. Staines has in the past bragged that his offshore operation enabled him to operate outside of the laws of our country – I am happy to have burst his bubble. From now on he will have to be diligent and accurate with what he publishes.
