Retired union rep, at home in Oregon, which I love. I travel when I can afford it, interests in human origins, photography, fly fishing and restoring our US public lands. Blazer fan, because it's still ok to have fun.

Median platform-gig pay: $5.12/hour.
Meanwhile, tech platforms boast record profits and promise “flexibility.”
This isn’t flexibility—it’s exploitation disguised as innovation.

The Platform Economy Runs on Inequality – and Sidesteps Labor Rights
By classifying workers as contractors, platform companies avoid paying core employment obligations while retaining tight control over how the work is done.

A dangerous American criminal faction is in control of the US Department of Justice. The same American criminal faction is in control of Homeland Security and DOD. And the same American criminal faction controls the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court.
It is more than a scandal, Senator.

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly

Given the choice between admitting they were wrong — and obviously so at the time — and blaming Biden for eroding norms surrounding pardons, the news outlets will get busy working on the blame pieces
Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

The correct and obvious contention that the blanket nature of the pardon was necessary due to the possibility that Trump would unfairly target Hunter and others with kangaroo court indictments was not even considered as within the bounds of acceptable debate.

Direct action is not designed as spectacle for media consumption, unlike large peaceful protests which are, deliberately, a spectacle.
The editorial desks at major media outlets are incapable of grasping the difference. Direct action scares institutions because it threatens the order they sit atop.
