Amazon joins Trader Joe’s, SpaceX in calling the National Labor Relations Board unconstitutional

Nazi's are mainstream again. Now, they are trying to reboot the Gilded Ages. How far back do these people want to take society. The Ice Age?

“Since they can’t defeat successful union organizing, they now want to just destroy the whole process," said an attorney representing the Amazon Labor Union. #UnionStrong .

Users and friends, filtering hashtag 診断メーカー works to keep the current wave of spam out of your timeline, mentions, etc, as this example shows.

Over 4.4K in the last 24-hours. I know many admins have been combating it all night to keep it out of your timeline.

Might not be a bad idea to set the filter up while #MastoAdmin's combat the problems.

If you're not curious, hide completely instead of just a warning as shown in the red circle..

I get a 'thrill' when someone I have never interacted with replies, likes, or boosts a post of mine that they found due to hashtags or other users boost of my post and then, minutes later, they like, boost or comment on a post in my timeline of mine that I know they had to do a few scrolls to get to.

It tells me the original post had enough value and it sparked enough interest to take a peek at my content.

I'd rather be vetted than blindly followed.

Hydroxychloroquine, the malaria drug Trump touted as 'miracle' COVID treatment, linked to 17,000 deaths.

Toxicity led to cardiac events.

They believe the number dead is underrepresented and much worse because of gaps in reporting.

Trump continued to promote the drug, and the data shows a correlation, even after the FDA revoked emergency authorization for hospitalized patient treatment during the infancy of the pandemic.

The Republican party is literally suing to prevent legal votes from being counted.

Bartiromo: I see that the RNC is filing a lawsuit in a battleground state to stop counting ballots past election day.

Lara #Trump: Yeah. Well, that's exactly right. You cannot have ballots counted after elections are over.

Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content

Canceling all my subscriptions. Sorry creators.

Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie, "I just want to make it clear that we don’t like Nazis either—we wish no-one held those views. But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away—in fact, it makes it worse"

The last scene of Frasier (not the reboot), instead of him being on a plane touching down in Chicago, Lillith is pouring water on his face to wake him.

The entire "Seattle" Frasier series was just a drunken stupor dream that he got one night at Cheers, binge drinking, trying to drink Diane Chambers out of his head.

He never left Boston.

Social Security recipients aren't getting an extra payment in June. They are getting July's payment early due to the weekend and July 4th holiday.

This happens several times per year.

The last time click bait wrote these articles, some mainstream outlets ran with it.

If you get SSA payments, it's not an extra payment.
