NEW: GEO group privately asked ICE to remove requirements to pay detainees to work. Seems like a 13A violation since most detainees aren’t convicted of crimes. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Congrats to @uaw.org 2093 workers at American Axle on your a huge, hard-fought win. After years of being underpaid and overworked, you’re finally getting the raises, time off, and benefits you deserve.

The funny thing about this post is all the people telling Steyer to do what he's been doing all along: spending hundreds of millions on progressive social, ecological, and economic legislation. Steyer is part of why California schoolchildren do know where their next free meal is coming from.

Ooooooo 👀

I lost my job, my kids have whooping cough, and I can't afford steak or gas. But at least now billionaires can use their social media companies to help incite riots.

Graham Platner is the avatar of the north’s white supremacy. I wrote about that here:

Graham Platner is a dilettante adventurer reaping the benefits of both a privileged upbringing and his (unearned) image as an average working class man. I wrote about how these converge to grant him impunity www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn...

Love this. And I will forever imagine Klippenstein worrying ‘Does my groin look smooth?’

"A Better American Dream" We cannot create white supremacy 2.0. slap a socialist frill on it, and call it progress. open.substack.com/pub/hjs24pea...

the other thing i'll note is that it is the district courts, and not SCOTUS, that have been far more effective and reliable in challenging the administration's power-grabs, and with few exceptions, SCOTUS has largely validated all but the most egregious ones.

You know before we pasteurized milk we just died. We let babies die. So yes, you are correct. We don't need to pasteurize milk if you're ok with mass death. Also, almost every single food you eat whether animal or plant is the result of human modification.

IDEA: LADY 'Q A frustrated woman pitmaster gender enters the "Mister Meat" national BBQ contest as a man... then beats all the (ahem) eccentric competition. Its TOOTSIE meats BEST IN SHOW. Lowball offers not accepted on this one, Hollywood. Bring your folding money this time. #Scriptsky

British Columbia Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social has invited Somali referee Omar Artan to referee in Vancouver, after he was denied entry to the US

Because MEN REIGN SUPREME. On the right and the (self-anointed) left.

Is Graham Platner’s ascendance a defeat for political civility or a win for American masculinity? Yes. by David Brooks and Ross Douthat

Graham Platner is an abusive weirdo who knowingly kept a Nazi tattoo for years and has never succeeded at anything in his life. What if that's what voters want right now?

Trump’s abbreviated interview with Kirsten Welker raises new questions about Biden’s lack of solo press preferences.

It isn't liberal men though, it's left-wing men who hate liberals more than anything in the world.

First ME-SEN poll in a while with MILLS matching up better (albeit slightly) than Platner over Collins Tavern Research, 6/5-8 Mills 52 Collins 48 Platner 51 Collins 49 Generic D 55 Collins 45 242750075.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hubfs/242750...

Have Platner fans realized yet they can never criticize any candidate or politician ever again? They did a bad thing? “That was in the past, they’ve grown!” They supported awful policy? “They’ve changed! They said so!” They’re abusive? “Well we HAVE to win so that’s okay.”

The same regime that wants to keep people from voting in the South is the same regime that wants to keep votes from counting in California. But we will not be bullied; we will count and verify every vote and ensure the will of the people prevails.

The most progressive Dem fighter about to be seated in the Senate is a woman who grew up in a union household on Chicago’s South Side. Her father worked the third shift at a General Motors factory, and her mother was a public school teacher. Yet she gets little to no attention from the far left. 🤷‍♀️

Mega millionaire speaks out for the anti- wealth candidate.

🚨🚨🚨 YOU STILL HAVE TIME to help David Costello, Andrea LaFlamme and/or even Janet Mills salvage the #MaineMess! --If you live in Maine, RANK ALL THREE (but NOT Platner) in whichever order you prefer! --Donate to Costello and/or LaFlamme! secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...

Because they hate women and Black and Indian women Bc they love their white mediocrity men

Oh, Costello. Did you see his public tv interview, after Platner refused to debate him, and read his bio? What has Platner ACCOMPLISHED for Mainers?

No one has ever given me a job on my promise to not be an ass. Life is too short and the stakes are too high to waste time on wannabes.

Excellent!

I've been in the comments of the diary you wrote at Daily Kos. It's like a bunch of people decided to become the emblem of toxic masculinity and bigotry that Platner has proven himself to be. Suspect they can't admit he's a piece of shit because they'd have to admit the same of themselves.

They love it, they love the misogyny. Notice that this set are all men, and AFAIK all white men. The tone of voice they are using is exactly the same sneering smugness as MAGA "owning the libs". I've spent 5 years listening to that voice. Now it's coming from "our" side, and I feel sick.

We wanted to understand what’s happening with the Strait of Hormuz. So we talked to five raw milk drinkers at an emergency room in Idaho.

Common sense! One hardly knows what to do!

Yup

“What the smoothgroin wokes don’t understand about Platner is that burglar rape is a deeply ancestral and traditional practice of the White Working Class. He was actually born with the Totenkopf. Don’t be so bigoted to their intangible cultural heritage.” ~65% of progressive media last week.

Economist Dean Baker @deanbaker13.bsky.social has long proposed having the US government hold non-voting shares of *all* companies as a way of avoiding games in the tax system. But it would be systematic, not Trump favoritism. www.latimes.com/opinion/op-e...
