Our deep dive (73pp) into the FCC forcing ABC to apply to renew its broadcast licenses, the most egregious abuse of power in the 92-year history of the FCC. This is Carr at his most shameless, ruthless, and dangerous. techfreedom.org/fcc-cant-use...

Bruce Springsteen accepts the ACLU Ralph Ellison Award for Defenders of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Arts, Business, Science, and Sports — and performs "Streets of Minneapolis" — at the ACLU Biennial Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.

No one wants to own their data until the platform where their data lives enshittifies to the point of unusability and/or starts selling their data in ways they didn't expect. Like, 99% of ppl are here because Elon owns Twitter. I get why people don't care, but they tend to eventually every time.

The best measure of how America is doing isn’t the unemployment rate, or the stock market, or GDP growth. It’s how well most Americans are living. And the reality is that most Americans are struggling.

Given the Roberts Supreme Court’s view that final decision-making authority must be exercised by a political appointee (in Arthrex, even if that was the ‘quasi-judicial’ context), how does this not end up in litigation where SCOTUS imposes the presidential control parts of the OMB rule?

It’s jarring to have some rando calling you a hideous little monster who deserves death and then see they’re followed by like a bunch of your favorite columnists/podcasters and a half dozen MSNBC (MSNOW) personalities. Even people you have a collegial relationship with!

Back when I was just getting relentlessly attacked for, and I quote here, saying “Lenin was bad,” I noticed a ton of the people spewing abuse were followed by mutuals of mine.

JIM JORDAN: Blanche said it's dead. I don't know what else it takes. HUNT: Well, you're a lawyer! Don't you ever tell clients to get it in writing? Isn't that legal 101? JORDAN: I'm not a lawyer either

Oliver Larkin, Florida congressional candidate: “If we’re going to talk about children being raped, then we need to hold this pedophile president, Donald Trump, accountable and all those that have been implicated by the Epstein files.” 🔥 #SheShed

A republic, if you can shake it down www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

fOr ConTeXt Haley Stevens supports Israel’s genocide of Gaza with her whole chest, has thanked ICE — “Trump’s ICE” if that makes a difference to you (it shouldn’t) — and voted to honor white supremacist Charlie Kirk.

The reactionary fiscal policy of “starve the beast”, has reached the point of outright destroying the beast. With the federal debt approaching $40 trillion, it would take 20 years of a combination of 20% budget cuts and 20% tax increases to eliminate the debt.

Only fools believe conservatives are fiscally responsible.

Anyway tl;dr for folks who are confused about why farmers keep pulling for Trump "even though he screwed them over".... there you go. There is SO much more going on re: Trump & farm country than what gets play on the news.

Lisa Barnes's farm had a worker STANDING ON A SEMITRUCK BETWEEN THE CAB & TRAILER. While going down a state highway. So yeah he got thrown off & ran tf over by the semi truck. It's only the 2nd worker who's died on their farm in the last 3 years I'm sure it's not a pattern or anything :C

How?? Well, one of the 2024 rules was "If you're driving a crew around on public roads, they're people not cargo. So they gotta be in a vehicle for people. With seat belts." If you're just scooting around the farm, it's fine to sit in a pickup bed! But not on public roads!

At least one farm worker has already been killed by Trump's repeal of those laws. And it was on a 20,000 acre farm owned by NC state senator Lisa Barnes, who chairs our state's ag committee! 🙃 carolinapublicpress.org/73034/state-...
