So I read the article, and it's not clear where such people would be deported to. If they are American citizens, I would assume he's talking about stripping someone of their citizenship and sending them to labor camps indefinitely.

Although whether that would actually happen is another question.

Human who works a job, caregives for children, parents, pets, or relatives, cooks, cleans, shops, is on committees, volunteers, helps with family's extracurriculars, tries to make it to family and friend social events, exercise, eat right, and maybe even do a hobby they are interested in: Doc, I don't know why I'm so tired, and stressed all the time.

Billionaires and Politicians: The problem is people are lazy, and just don't want to work.

They want people to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, all overtime unpaid.

Six years ago, the prior administration promised a $10 billion investment by Foxconn. We all know how that ended.

Under their tenure, 83,500 jobs left Wisconsin.

Under mine, 178,000 have been created. And we're not done yet.

@potus

I'm always hearing about new jobs being created.

But do workers have the right to organize without being fired? Is the playing field even?

Are workers being paid a living wage so that they don't have to rely on welfare to get by?

Quality over quantity please.

@GreenFire @potus

Yes, I am asking.

Unfortunately, that's rather a low bar to clear.

Why is there a disconnect between the messages campus protesters want to amplify and what is broadcast? According to a professor:
> Journalists see confrontations, arrests and disruption as more newsworthy than peaceful protests
> Student efforts to educate their campuses were largely ignored while the encampments made the front pages.
> Universities and police have dedicated media teams ready to give quotes, students donโ€™t

@TheConversationUS

journalist here. It's reporting 101 to get both sides of the story. That happens too often in political situations where one side obviously isn't telling the truth.

I guess "fairness in journalism" just means being fair to people with authority and power.

Israeli government votes to shut down Al Jazeera

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that the Israeli government has voted unanimously to shut down Al Jazeera in Israel.

The news agency Reuters also reports that the Israeli cabinet has decided to close down Al Jazeeraโ€™s operations.

I keep seeing the news about lunar time presented as โ€œthe Moon is getting its own time zone." What's actually happening is the Moon is getting its own time standard. The problem being solved is that time passes slightly more quickly on the Moon compared to Earth (due to General Relativity) and so the Moon needs its own time standard for precise measurements and navigation. UTC is the time standard for measuring time on Earth, and LTC is being created for the Moon.

@dgoldsmith

Wait, time passes more quickly on the moon? How does that work? Is it something influenced by planetary gravity?

As a lifelong, passionate @nytimes reader and occasional writer, it's dizzying how consistently awful and irresponsible its headlines, subheds, ledes, and spin about Biden and Trump have been. I honestly feel nausea and vertigo seeing headlines and subheds like this.

There's something seriously wrong with these lunatics. Nothing will ever be enough for them when it comes to imposing oppressive, draconian laws related to . They'll just continue going further and further for as long as they're allowed. The only answer is to stop them now. Opposition to is pure insanity, and out of touch with the views of the vast majority of Americans. And they know this, which is why they also oppose .

@slcw

Another problem this article reveals: today's right-wing movement sees prison as a place to throw one's enemies into regardless of whether they committed a crime or not.

In other words, they want to turn prisons into concentration camps.

@slcw

I had in mind Lucius Cornelius Sulla, dictator of Rome. But Putin is probably a more apt comparison.

Iโ€™m 56 years old. Which means Iโ€™m about to endure my fourth cycle of twenty-something year old dudes discovering the weight room and Ayn Rand shit like theyโ€™ve just unlocked Enlightenment itself and by god Iโ€™m fucking so tired of it. And now they have podcasts.

Infuriating. Why did he choose threads? Does he not have any understanding of how social media works, at all?
