Trump’s claims of an organized conspiracy might be bunk, but there are other potential problems with the Friday Zooms: There is a risk, for instance, that the calls could breed groupthink or perhaps help dubious information spread, where it might then reach people watching the news.

weinstein wasn't protected only for class reasons, but because weinstein represents an ideal of arbitrary, destructive, autocratic rule over inferiors. to really punish weinstein would be to the indict the people who want to be him, do what he did, and see his only crime if any is getting caught

The founding principles of this country are that guys like him can do whatever they want, so yeah.

I know it's a misspelling, but manbc sounds like something a bad sitcom writer makes up for their misandrist character. "Oh, getting all your fake news from MANBC, a channel that's all about old, white MEN, are you, you PENIS-HAVER."

The same guest positioned them as a natural fit for our strange political moment. “This is really the first time in American history where the Constitution and laws are front and center at the same time that the politics are front and center in the nation,” they said. “And so for me to get there and be able to talk to them about what you and I are talking about right now, was just a privilege for me.”

The cutoff for overtime is something like $50k a year.

This country is such a festering turd that basic protections are heralded as great progress.

I haven't read about non-competes but I have no doubt there is a catch just like the overtime thing.

demonstrators in Seattle painted a big mural on the street with the slogans "LET GAZA LIVE" and "NO FUNDS FOR GENOCIDE"

Seattle DOT just went out and painted over the words with color-matched paint to the rest of the mural making it look like just some harmless message-free street art

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/noncompete-rule.pdf There's some stuff like existing non-competes for senior executives will still apply, and it doesn't apply to people who, say, sell a business. I'm not expert but it seems... fine?

There's still that whole "gave material support to a genocide" thing, so I'm still not voting for the Dems, but this seems not awful.

The salary threshold will increase to $1,128 per week, or $58,656 per year, on January 1, 2025.

It's pathetically low for Salary employees. Hell, being overtime-exempt should be illegal.
