The DOJ filed its response to Trump's request for the Supreme Court to put his trial on hold.

For a reminder what this is about, see this thread: https://mastodon.social/@Teri_Kanefield/111926098652803347

It sparkles.

In addition to being done well, it was done quickly. SCOTUS gave them a week. They filed it in 2 days.

Notice that they argue in the alternative: If Trump gets a stay, please expedite the proceedings as with the Colorado ballot case.

it's time to fork #Firefox and turn it into a cooperative-owned project.

cooperative membership is the element missing from FLOSS.

fuck the non-profit's faux neutrality when in truth it's just a broke doppelganger of the top-down structure of the corporatist kleptocracy.

make the project a cooperative where members --users and developers-- get to vote on the future of the project with their paid memberships and contributed labor.

Paramount kept their staff on hand to handle stressful conditions, surely kept lots of folks on-call to ensure the Superbowl could be streamed on their service, had record viewership numbers and then immediately laid off 800 of the people who helped give them that success the next day so that the executive leadership could pocket all the profits without sharing it with the labor force who built it.

Seriously. Eat the rich.

Trump has boiled US politics down to this:

Vote red… or vote blue.
