Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this?

DOJ: Yes.

β€œReal New Yorkers never get leisure time [and that’s the way we like it]” makes me think it’s time for a revival of the old labor slogan

If the US government had to pay for medical care of its citizens, it might care more about climate change impacts, air and water pollution, gun violence, traffic crashes, the food we eat, etc. It’s past time for single payer healthcare.

Interesting pharmacology fact circa 35 mins in.

Without googling, how many plastic surgeons do you reckon there were pre-WW2?

Grower fined for housing people in converted greenhouse Investigators say dozens of people, including women and children, were living in an illegally converted greenhouse for several months.

Can't stop thinking about the farmworker families in Monterey County found living in greenhousesβ€”100 people, including toddlers, crammed into makeshift shelter without ventilation.

And now, many of those same children live with the fear that their parents will be picked up and disappeared by ICE.

Just had to pick up a few things in the local Tesco, as is the customary greeting in this part of Lancashire, the woman on the till went β€œHi a’reet?” And I gave the customary reply β€œaye, not s’bad.” Then after a pause β€œthat was a lie, I’ve had a shit day to be honest” and she burst into laughter

Instead of going to jail with Trump, JD Vance should be sentenced to have a tuba player follow him around at all times honking away

The VA’s unilateral termination of union contracts for ~360k workers represents a loss of 2.5% OF ALL UNION MEMBERS IN AMERICA.
I’m not sure what it will take for the labor movement to get into crisis mode, but the crisis is here.

Ma'am I literally have bipolar disorder and never on the worst day of my life have I pulled shit even remotely comparable to what Kennedy does each day. The sane are running the asylum, just as they always have, and they're assholes, as they often are.

"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black,
but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks,
and then criminalizing both heavily,
we could disrupt those communities.
We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, vilify them night after

You are wealthy beyond belief, living with assets that Kings would never have dreamed possible. You can fly to your house in the Italian countryside, or be taken to a 5 star restaurant with amazing things to be offered.

And your concern is being able to say derogatory slurs without consequence.
