Isn't this called corruption?
  • Wait. I get paid $47 to refer a friend to sign a petition to get bombarded with MAGA bullshit? Good thing. I am capable of making "real" good friends in swing states. I imagine they won't be bothered with getting spam emails.

  • Donald Trump Tax Plans Would Increase Taxes On 95% Of Americans, Analysis Finds
  • Well yeah, it's called trickle down economics. The top 5% are all job creators, they invest in companies. It's not true that the 5% just let their wealth sit there and accumulate on an imaginary score board to beat the next richest person.

    It's not like the richest people in the world are hurtling human civilization into a extinction level events to hoard more wealth.

    It's not like the rich are looting this country to pad their bank accounts.

    The rich are going to use all that money to benefit everyone./s

  • Don't worry, Republicans are making that a reality.

    But in the past two years, child labor laws have entered the crosshairs of some lawmakers. At least 10 states have introduced or passed legislation loosening child labor protections, including New Hampshire. Now, Granite State children as young as 14 can work around alcohol and 16-year-olds can work an almost 40-hour week.

  • 'Trump Bible' one of few that meet criteria for Oklahoma classrooms
  • I will give credit to Republicans on this. They spent decades playing thre ong game with the judiciary. Now, that Republicans achieve their goal. They are now engineering facts to get cases to SCOTUS. The only way to play, is don't appeal cases. Leave the cases at the trial level or first level appeal.

    Fix the judiciary, then start taking these fucks all the to top.

  • jacobin.com Keir Starmer Is Sucking Up to the Far Right

    Visiting Rome this week, Keir Starmer might have been expected to signal political differences with Giorgia Meloni. Instead he endorsed her approach to repressing migration, showing how much liberals have swallowed the far right’s agenda.

    Keir Starmer Is Sucking Up to the Far Right

    >This week, the prime minister is in Italy breaking bread with Giorgia Meloni, a leader who came to power at the head of a party built in the aftermath of World War II to maintain the legacy of Benito Mussolini and Italian fascism. Starmer says he wants to learn from and cooperate with Meloni’s approach to migration.

    >It gets worse. Starmer and his foreign secretary, David Lammy, have also signaled that they will look to European arrangements with Libya and Syria for inspiration.

    >The promise of social democrats and liberals was that they would restore decency to politics, not take policy tips from far-right governments. Rather than repeating the previous government’s strategy of migrant-baiting and brutality — which was a factor in mobs attempting to burn down people seeking asylum only weeks ago — Starmer should use his majority to chart a different course: one that meets our obligations to protect, rather than harm, people seeking safety and does not attempt to divide us by where we were born.

    A photograph of Ernie smiling quite happily. Ernie is holding a plant.

    Text underneath says I like to use my victims as fertilizer to grow small plants, which I then send to the victim's family as a condolence present. Most people neglect potted plants they receive as gifts. So, in a way, it's like they're letting their children die all over again.

    Driving the news: The high court voted 8-1 in favor of Starbucks in a case the company filed against the National Labor Relations Board involving the so-called Memphis 7, a group of unionizing workers who said they were unlawfully fired after they appeared in a TV news segment.

    • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who's effectively become the court's lone labor supporter, wrote the dissent.

    • The decision will make it harder for the NLRB, the agency that administers the national labor law, to go after employers for violating its rules.

    Rudy Giuliani targets Trump for ‘unpaid legal fees’ in new filing

The New York Times wrote in August 2023 that “Mr Trump has never explicitly told Mr Giuliani why he is effectively stiffing him, but the former president has pointed out that he lost the cases related to the election.”
