The appropriate, historically accurate comparison is to student protests against South African apartheid and he knows it. Reportedly, those very protests grew into the strong boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement that ended apartheid in South Africa. This is what he fears and what corporate media is actively trying to prevent.

Only people with no information on either the actual history or current situation are going to fall for this baseless slander. Sadly there are probably still a number of those around.

Now watch him try to fire all federal judges too. 🙄

Maybe if it runs longer, we all get to jump to a better timeline. 😅

There should be laws against this everywhere (with other forms of data collection included). There's no way preventing cheating is more important than the fundamental rights to security and privacy.

GRM is a Christian ministry that requires all residents to work for them without pay for “six hours a day, six days a week in exchange for a bunk for 30 days.” They also cannot look for outside work during that month. That’s not all though. They must also attend church every Sunday (from a pre-approved list); Unitarian services are not acceptable. And they have to attend a chapel service twice a day. And they can’t smoke or drink. And they can’t have sex during their stay

So it's a cult. Why are cults allowed to pull crap like this? This kind of thing should be prosecuted.

I could have sworn at least 3 of the companies he pretends to run were under investigation by different agencies.

It's hard to understand how dismissive they're being when their own constituents are reaching out to them. Is this article leaving it out or have they given some sort of rationale for choosing their battles instead of going all out?

Repentant. In the interview, she said that at some point people on Twitter opened her eyes and she realized that she was in a cult. She thinks she belongs in jail.

Yikes, proper waste handling could use more attention in the news, despite the seemingly endless flow of other problems. (Lots of good news too, but that gets even less attention.)

It's also reported here. This fits with the reports of complaining that Democratic Congresspeople have been doing about the progressive wing of the party wanting them to fight back against DOGE. They and party leadership may well be aiming to not just talk like it, but fully become the new Republican party, in hopes of having a stampede of "moderate" Republicans who aren't happy with Trump come their way.

Buried near the bottom:

At the same time, the law lets local governments enter into non-disclosure agreements with companies for up to a year, temporarily limiting public access to details about proposed projects.

Hiding water usage is apparently a standard tactic the proponents of these projects use so they can straight up lie about their drain on the environment. I also didn't see anything in the article about any kind of pollution.

Campaigns and general influence by wealthy people who want poorer folks attacking their fellow poor folks and not them. Same as racism in general.

After the Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs, citizens began submitting false reports to the special email account: [email protected]. Here’s one example: “A man named Donald Trump is doing affirmative action for billionaires and oligarchs against the mandate to stop hiring minority groups.”

A commenter after my own heart. 😄

So many Martin Shkrelis out there pricing drugs to the highest level they can get away with. Every big pharmaceutical company does this kind of thing, especially with new drugs.

All I can think is how incredibly shameful it is for this kind of behind-the-scenes bullying to be happening, but the persons responsible apparently must not see shame in it somehow...?

Pretty sure according to current science, the sex is "undifferentiated" until a certain point in development. That means Trump wrote it so no one is female, lol.

Also, big donors are angry at them, so I guess they're trying to win those donors back.

Alien vs. Purrdator.

Is that the newspaper that got their papers stolen or were raided or something the day they were going to run a story on the local sheriff, or is this a whole other bizarre confrontation between cops and print media?

Wow. Moving someone to another location and then suddenly firing them for "communication standards?" Unless there's some highly compelling evidence to indicate otherwise, it's pretty clear cut what happened here. I guess they calculate it's better to pay a fine for a wrongful dismissal than to have a supervisor that is sympathetic to workers.
