US unions are sitting on the largest war chest in American history after decades of extremely cautious union drives. Tell your union reps it's time to dust off the clipboards and sledge hammers. United we bargain, divided we beg!

They had guys like Bovino and Hegseth in the 12th Century too, and they were smart enough to tell them "Wow what brave heroes you are, wanna do brave hero stuff?" and send them away to die outside Byzantium because the Pisans were like "Yeah sure we'll provide the ships" and didn't.

I guess if youre employed here and you said the papers support for the trans and Palestinian genocides wasnt a deal breaker, then whats a little ethnic cleansing between a man and his paycheck?
The Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the foreign-born population are being felt across the country. A past era of immigration crackdowns contains some lessons on how walling off the U.S. now will profoundly alter daily life for millions of Americans.
What America Might Look Like With Zero Immigration
The Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the foreign-born population are being felt in hospitals and soccer leagues and on Main Streets across the country, with hints of what’s to come.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of
The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

Gaza should instruct you: the 'democratic' order is ready and willing to commit genocide to retain power. Apply this lesson to climate change. What do we think will happen if the hydrocarbon cartel is actually challenged? No, voting for Dems does not challenge it which is why it's tolerated.

Blanket mass surveillance does not improve public safety.
In fact, it's dangerous and puts people at risk even when governments put privacy policies into place.

it's overall a good analysis, but when you get struck by God on the road to Damascus, you're also struck blind - you need to take someone else's hand to get there. Hope he finds one.

The whole premise seems to be fewer legal bets + increase in total legal bets —> increased illegal bets.
But if betting cos. are raising mins or absorbing the hit on bigger bets (incentivizing bigger bets) & some taxes are per bet, wouldn’t people naturally place fewer, bigger bets in response?

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.
"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"
