one of my spicy takes, for example, is that limits on strikes are unconstitutional under the 13th Amendment, because if we have a right to be free from forced labor, we must necessarily have a right to stop working and negotiate the conditions of our labor

A contentious kids safety bill might be getting gutted — and nobody’s happy It’s expected to be introduced with a package of kids online safety bills.

KOSA UPDATE: House lawmakers are considering removing duty of care & KOSA is currently in limbo since the House & Senate versions will differ.

BUT the threat of Bad Internet Bills still looms as the House considers age verification in new kids safety package...

buff doge vs cheems meme buff doge: this sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it? cheems: it looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom

no. NO!!!!

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'

Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

When the news calls you a “divisive figure” in 2025 that means you did some atrocities

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

I didn't watch it when it first came out because I'm a contrarian and now I'm finally able to enjoy it because it's been long enough that I can now be a hipster for liking it, and I actually do like it, it's awesome and I'm glad I started watching it

Kill La Kill was SO controversial when it came out, but it was the beginning of queer girl anime fans coming to terms with (& embracing) that fanservice doesn’t have to be automatically deemed misogynistic, in fact it can just be a guilty pleasure. The pandemic then made it okay to be horny on main

People With Disabilities Struggle to Secure Accessible Housing After Disasters Like the L.A. Fires Devastating wildfires in Southern California disrupted thousands of lives, including those of vulnerable people who continue to search for a place to call home.

The LA Fires earlier this year were devastating for so many people and communities. For disabled people who were displaced, now it's a nightmare of trying to find accessible housing while also competing with everyone else for ANY housing, ANYWHERE.

Also implied here: Portland Police watched Federal agents brutally attack it's citizens and did literally nothing to help the citizens but in fact helped the Federal officers.

So they'll prescribe puberty to protect the mental health of cis youth but not trans youth. It's extremely clear they don't view trans youth as worthy of treatment, only conversion therapy.

This shit is so infuriating. It's so blatant of a double standard. Precocious puberty is mostly only an issue of mental health and development. Going through somewhat early poverty isn't really a physical issue unless it's extremely early at like age 4.

"Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

The effects are only permanent on trans youth apparently.

I’m glad that Scott can get help from the White House. Now, what about the millions of other Americans facing steep, premium hikes who also need assistance?

THEY'RE NOT ON SNAP, THERE IS NOTHING TO COMPLY WITH. Tell those stores that and to decide who they side with, the people who live in their community, or faceless liars.

This is probably going to seem incredibly silly of me but I don't think it is

Maybe part of the "male loneliness crisis" (and the fact that it's actually an everybody one) could be tied to the fact that our government is actively trying to destroy any possible sense of community?

I never really had an opinion about FN until now and thats because I really only ever played it with 1 or 2 friends. But if this is true I’m fine with never playing it again and uninstalling it from my Switch because screw supporting JK Rowling and screw the push this tainted franchise is getting.

If this is true (which honestly, most fortnite rumors I hear turn out to be) it'll be the easiest uninstall of my life. i know its rich hearing this from the mountain of fandom posting on my end, but please grow the fuck up and read other books and watch other movies
