Looking forward to Justice Alito explaining how it's actually a core requirement of Constitutional law for a governor to be able to delay primary elections in order to prevent Democrats from winning elections. (not that this idiotic scheme is likely to do Republicans much good in '26 or '28)

STRIKE: Ahead of May Day, Popeyes workers in Los Angeles are on strike due to life-threatening workplace violence, extreme heat, cockroaches in the kitchen, wage theft, and broken restroom, to the point we’ve been forced to urinate in a closet drain because it is the only place without cameras. 🧵

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

Now I’m just a backwoods small town hyperchicken, but it seems to me that if a company is big enough to existentially threaten the government then you don’t actually have a functioning government anymore.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

"Arrest illegals as they come into the country." So this basically means that we're closed to all foreign travel. You're not allowed to even visit the USA, because they will assume you are entering permanently and arrest you.

If your hobby discourages proxies, it's a poisoned scene with big neon sign for bad actors & shitty people. You shouldn't be wondering why that scene constantly struggles with them. The elitism doesn't come in its own bubble. The picture spells itself out. Not just a Magic subpost. There's a lot.

Great read.
Diaz suspects the company was so slow to pull out of Verona because their priority isn’t just selling the cameras to police officials, who often enter into contracts with flock without the approval or even knowledge of local elected leaders, but rather the growing growing the massive surveillance network it’s customers can access nationwide the fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. Diaz said they were never really selling to us in the first place what they are doing is selling too much bigger agencies, the ability to spy on a ton of people.

Read it for yourself but it really bothers me that this is framed as a choice between two options with advantages and disadvantages rather than what is on a more significant level; a choice of whether or not to eliminate billions of infrastructure spending in Baltimore City.

The President offering "oversight," "visible officer identification," and "no deporting US citizens" is yet more indisputable evidence that no funding should be provided. Before funding can even be discussed, all of that must be done and everyone who thought otherwise must be fired.

IMPORTANT: this letter in the WSJ is amongst the clearest expressions of wisdom you'll read, re: blanket bans on teen social media access. We saw this with peanut allergies: early avoidance yields later life-threatening adult reactiveness at scale. Managed exposure during youth prevents harm.

The "healthy young breasts" of it all. This isn't about concern that someone might make a mistake and be dissatisfied with their choices when they look back, it's about an instinctive sense that those breasts belong to the world (of men).
