    Trader Joe's is suing to destroy worker rights for EVERYONE, not just the TJ workforce.

    They're arguing that the NLRB is unconstitutional, and plan on taking their anti-worker stance to the anti-worker US supreme court.

    We witness cities having massive freak-outs over homeless encampments expanding, but no consideration as to the conditions in society that have created this problem. How do you not see this explosion in need and suffering and not think perhaps we are backing an incorrect and untenable economic system?

    @LeftistLawyer I'm honestly suprised I haven't heard of entire towns being crested by the homeless, but I'd imagine they'd be raided by the government pretty quickly, because homeless people need to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, as they'd say

    Andy Boenau @Boenau It's often safest for a cyclist to go through a red light. Here's an example of safely keeping momentum. Bicycles and motor vehicles should never be treated as equals, so "but red means stop!" isni't a useful reaction.

    Some interesting new photos of Colossus have just been released.

    GCHQ has released never before seen images of Colossus, the UK's secret code breaking computer credited with helping the Allies win World War Two.

    The intelligence agency is publishing them to mark the 80th anniversary of the device's invention.

    In an interview on Israeli television, former Mossad official Rami Igra said all Palestinians in Gaza over the age of 4 are โ€œinvolvedโ€ and deserve to face Israelโ€™s collective punishment policy of withholding food and humanitarian aid.

    Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.
