I love to joke about OSHA (and NIOSH) but every single OSHA regulation was written with someone’s blood
1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information.

The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works.

most journalists today can be divided into two groups: dedicated, impoverished people who mostly write for publications you've never heard of that started eighteen months ago or JP Random House The First, who writes columns for the New York Times about which ethnic groups it should be OK to hunt
