For those curious but don't want to bother opening the link:

• It was in North Carolina
• The engineer was critiquing NC infrastructure
• A NC agency said he needed a permit to criticize their infrastructure
• The judge correctly determined that it was a violation of our first amendment rights

Why the fuck are US citizens not allowed to vote in a US election?

I think this framing is extremely disingenuous in the title. It's the same kind of bullshit that resulted in the misframing of the McDonald's hot coffee suit.

And this clause will give unity some fun lawsuits for those old versions

No, this both uncommon and illegal (assuming it's from the US). They're trying to couch their wage theft in legal jargon to scare the unwitting into accepting it

Maybe it's time for a state to start a nonprofit insurance fund? Insurance companies exist only for profit, which is antithetical to the point of insurance.

Phones should be turned off or left at home anyways when protesting. Here are my 10 commandments for engaging in protests:

1: never bring your wallet/ID. If you need to buy things, bring cash

2: either shut off your phone or leave it with your wallet. Recording police violence can be useful, in that case get the aclu app, a burner phone with the app, or an action camera

3: never speak to police under any circumstance

4: you can beat the charge but you can't beat the ride

5: bring water, it's more useful than for just drinking

6: bring hats, sunglasses, etc to avoid being identified by the state if it gets violent

7: wear good running shoes

8: know your rights, both federal and local, and when to use them

9: take out any contact lenses in case police use tear gas

10: stay aware of your surroundings; listen to picket line enforcers/community organizers

Just a reminder that this murderer killed a libertarian active duty army Sargent veteran airman that saw police violence as wrong. Abbott is celebrating the murder of a soldier killed at home.

Edit: I incorrectly identified Garrett Foster's honorable service.

Fuck tips. If you work, you should be getting a living wage, not hoping you score a $100 tip to scrape through the month. Tips are a wage subsidy for corporations.

Just wait until they try heating the raw milk in a pressurized container at 200° F

I'm a union organizer, so I got to see some truly golden moments. My favorite was during a campaign, we took over a Q&A session with a member of the C-suite present. In a previous meeting he tried to convince me of some bs, so I asked him directly "why did you lie to me?" during this take over. The look on his face was priceless, and it took him over a minute to respond pathetically with "I don't appreciate being called a liar"

That sounds like a disaster. All it will take is finding a single cool looking doodad and the entire cleaning crew will be occupied for hours

There's a story that Wong Wifu, the great Chinese martial artist... had a fight with a guy and beat him. Then the guy gave him this light tap. Wong looked at him and the guy just nodded. That was it. He had given him the death touch. Wong died.

Then and there?

No. About eighteen years later. That's the thing about Dim Mak... you never know when it's gonna take effect.

The guy with a truck had a concept of a plan

Fuck yea, love to see militant labor fighting for what they need

Calling it right now, it had little to do with the engineers and almost everything to do with corporate cost cutting at the expense of people.

It didn't end that quick, but he stopped after 9 months due to health concerns. The goal was to earn $1 million in a year, he had earned $62k.

I already don't eat breakfast and I'm still poor, what now WSJ???

you and your unborn child will die, for the life of the fetus.

Republican healthcare, everyone

Very nice. If anyone here works at IKEA, just know that unless you unionize those things can disappear just as easily.
