For anyone who still thinks we shouldn’t prosecute Trump and his co-conspirators because their January 6 insurrection failed, consider this: there is no such thing as prosecuting a successful insurrection.

@Strandjunker also consider that we let the last insurrectionists live and they are on the verge of taking everything over only a few generations later.

"UPS announced this week that they will be laying off 12,000 people, approximately 2.4 percent of their global workforce...

As you may recall, UPS drivers won a hard fought battle earlier this year for higher wages and less batshit working conditions so they don’t die of heat stroke.

Is the company truly suffering? Well, no. It still had an adjusted operating profit of $9.9 billion... they “returned $7.6 billion of cash to shareowners through dividends and share buybacks".

At the same time the company is laying off workers, the board of directors approved — for the 15th year in a row — an increase to the company’s quarterly dividend. This means that people are getting laid off, but shareholders are getting a raise."

SWATting would no longer be a problem at all if we abolished SWAT teams.

Maybe having an on demand paramilitary strike force that can be deployed by anyone with a phone and a plausible sounding story was a bad idea to start with.

In any scam, any con, any hustle, the big winners are the people who supply the scammers - not the scammers themselves. The kids selling dope on the corner are making less than minimum wage, while the respectable crime-bosses who own the labs clean up. Desperate "retail investors" who buy shitcoins from Superbowl ads get skinned, while the MBA bros who issue the coins make millions (in real dollars, not crypto).

@pluralistic I found a scammer on TikTok, she apparently has a real Ph.D (physics) and an actual non-profit and if you can just get her 10 million dollars, her 100% effective and very real cure for cancer will be available and free for all.
She's already gained at least 2.5m dollars. I submitted a complaint to her state's attorney general but I have little hope it'll go anywhere.

America's first sustainable urban agrihood in Detroit.
"The three-acre development has vacant land, along with occupied and abandoned homes centered around a two-acre urban garden, with more than 300 organic vegetable varieties, like lettuce, kale, and carrots, as well as a 200-tree fruit orchard, with apples, pears, plums, and cherries, a children’s sensory garden, and more."

Fun Fact.

is f*cking up the Environment and Pushing Wild Bees to the Edge.

Keeping honeybees doesn’t save bees – or the environment
It’s great to see people backing the pollinator movement, but managing hives does nothing to protect our wild pollinators. It’s the equivalent of farming chickens to save wild birds

Granted if they still protest vote and Trump wins it won't have matterered, but I'll tip my cap right now if it saves Palestinian lives. 🫡

    @russellt if even Nancy Pelosi is joining in that tells me what way the winds are blowing. She wouldn't put her name on it if she didn't know it was ultimately the winning message. This IMO is much more significant than Biden's "ultimatum" to Bibi.

    Unfortunately I think Israel may be so filled with bloodlust and so close to their ultimate goal, it may not matter. But I'm more hopeful today than I have been in 6 months, so I'll take it!
