Daydreaming in Old New England....

This week's comic: Republicans are dismantling child labor laws in several red states.

#economy #labor #work #jobs #unions

Guy kills five neighbors including a child because they ask him to stop scaring the kids with his machine gun. My brother is at Safeway yesterday and a guy pulled a gun on another guy inside the store because of a parking lot beef. Like. This is terrorism. I am terrified. No one wants to live like this!!!!
wow. :(
Imagine sucking so bad that people create new social media sites just to avoid you.

A TX man w/AR-15 killed 5 people "execution style." Two female victims were killed lying on top of 2 surviving kids & 3 surviving kids were covered in blood. All b/c they asked him to stop shooting while their baby slept.

This GOP "well regulated militia," has this month alone killed people for:
•Sitting in the wrong car
•Knocking on wrong door
•Turning into wrong driveway
•Attending the wrong birthday party
•Basketball rolls into the wrong lawn
•Asking the wrong neighbor to let your baby sleep

Maybe, and this is a general thing, not specific to any one person, don't let someone whose business and/or electoral model is to keep you angry and scared try to tell you how the world is and what you should do about it

Bed Bath & Beyond has filed for bankruptcy shortly after spending $1B in stock buybacks & cash payments to shareholders. Employees of 20 years got 0 notice & $0 severance.

It wasn't inflation. It wasn't labor cost. It is 100% corporate greed.

Tax billionaires. Unionize workers. Protect our economy.

The Texas MAGA federal judge banned Mifepristone because “FDA didn’t properly review its health risks” which is reportedly ~14 annual deaths.

Well, guess what, Viagra has ~200 annual reported deaths.

So…when do MAGAs ban Viagra??🤔

Oh right, never, because MAGA only cares about controlling women. They don't care that Mifepristone is incredibly safe for women, and even safer than childbirth. They only care about advancing their agenda to control women. Vote these MAGA Extremists out permanently

@ProPublica broke the story of Justice Thomas' blatant corruption. In a follow-up after Thomas claimed he'd done nothing wrong, the news org quoted his BS and then, citing people who know what they're talking about, refuted the BS.

Contrast this with the Washington Post's coverage: A story uncritically amplifying the BS, and a less-prominent sidebar labeled a "fact check".

ProPublica did it right. The Post did it wrong.

Clarence Thomas Defends Undisclosed “Family Trips” With GOP Megadonor. Here Are the Facts.

In response to a ProPublica report, Thomas explained why he did not disclose lavish travel provided by billionaire Harlan Crow. But legal experts maintain the justice was required to make these disclosures.

It's not a news organization:

Dominion also describes how Murdoch provided Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, with confidential information about ads that the Biden campaign would be running on Fox.

"At one point, Dominion’s lawyers accuse Pirro, who hosted a Saturday evening talk show, of “laundering her own conspiracy theories through Powell.” The filing goes on to say Pirro bragged to her friends “that she was the source for Powell’s claims."
