Rep. Lauren Gillen (D-NY), one of seven House Democrats who voted last week for a bill that further would further increase funding for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

primary them. all of them. no incumbents.

they. do. not. care. about. you.

stop fawning over the stupid fucking D next to their name and have some self respect!

every american who does not run themselves, or does not help someone other than the incumbent in the next election is complicit in everything. youve seen what they do and who they care about, and you choose them AGAIN to represent you? im left with no alternative but to assume this is the extent of how much youre willing to work, or that you dont think things are that bad that replacing your representative is warranted

complicit, lazy ass, selfish mfs gonna vote in these career politicians AGAIN and then claim it was the best choice- YEAH after you sat on your ass and did NOTHING when you had the chance

my entire life, same fucking excuse, over and over and over, for decades, and they want you take them seriously when they whiiiiine and complain

oh this system for me, by me and of me, its so corrupted and broken and twisted around worshipping profit, whatever can we do- MOTHERFUCKER LOOK IN A MIRROR IF YOU NEED TO FIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

:/

“There’s no emergency,” said attorney Kelly Wood with the Washington Attorney General’s Office.

yay! this is fantastic news

resist. resist. resist.

shut it down. ignore the epa. fuck the national government, act in open revolt. its over, stop listening to them out of some sort of misguided sense of “well if we just go along with it now, later we can deal with the consequences” OR we can stop.

its our government. we made the rules. we can break them in times of need. this is that time. close the fucking coal power plant as planned, fuck what these people who EVERYONE KNOWS has bullshit intentions says. just ignore them. they have no power if we all stop listening

“but they have guns”

they cant kill us all. and if you think itll get to that point, then youre to blame for letting it get this bad in the first place. the time to sit the fuck around and watch football and wait for the midterms nd hope it doesnt get too much worse is long past- by a few decades at least

stop listening to the stupid bullshit the administration says. states, gang together, fuck the national govt until it gets its shit together

why is this so hard- this is what we get for voting career politicans into office. theyre all too scared to do something that could get them primaried- not by the will of the people, but of their party overlords- and so this is what we get, because we were too lazy to participate ourselves. in true american fashion, instead of taking turns in the government before returning to our nornal lives, as was the plan and makes sense, we outsourced the running of our communities to career politicians who we vote into office time and time again, politicians backed by the factory owners we’ve been fighting since factories came about

not with a bang, but with a pathetic, lazy, spoiled whimper

it’s food.

Food!

FOOOOOOD!!!

it’s FUCKING FOOD you SPOILED FUCKING BRAT - in a normal community, in a compassionate society, and to ANYONE WHO ISNT A SELFISH EMBARASSMENT TO SENTIENCE, food isn’t something you lock behind any paywall, work restriction, qualification or barrier or any kind! you, as a rule, make enough for everyone, and see that anyone who needs it, gets it

why? because that’s the right thing to do, what other reason is necessary to treat the worst off among us the best we possibly can?

the alternative is needless, selfish greed. shut the fuck up, selfish, greedy jon husted- you likely have nothing of value to say that bears repeating. make way for those who havent given up on basic human decency.

lol “work ethic” they shipped all the fucking union factory production industry jobs overseas, you twatwaffle- you want me to raise a fucking family working a starbucks and moonlighting with uber? what fucking JOBS do you expect us to go get? lolol in ohio no less this guy is like “our generation dismantled your industrial base and left you with the shell of a nation- now go get a service industry job with no pension and absolutely no job security and like it, or i guess you can starve idk”

shut the fuck up, you distasteful joke of a human being

Ive had good luck with porkbun

If they don’t have to explain themselves, then they shouldn’t expect one when the angry mob shows up at their door 🤷

She says ‘it was clear’ the airline and the union ‘needed another tool’ to continue negotiations after the union went on strike.

Arbitration isn’t a fucking “tool” that somehow magically facilitates negotiation; it’s a weapon used to bypass the legal system and force parties to agree to a resolution. Take your fucking doublespeak and shove it. If parties can’t reach a resolution within the legal framework, it’s not the damned government’s job to step in and force one- that totally negates the power labor has to refuse to work.

This Jobs Minister clearly cares more about perception and finding a resolution ASAP than she cares about labor and our rights as workers. Never forget who actively works against us as workers.

“Someone should tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative that we worked out a long ago to breaking down the factory owner’s door and beating them to death in front of their family. I feel like they forgot.”

Why do we strain so hard to find hidden messages when the truth is staring us in the face- it looks like a bunch of white folks following some supposedly divine decree to drive natives off their homeland, selfishly displacing and decimating the bison population while theyre at it, claiming that’s some sort of heritage to be proud of. I dont need to count words or notice weird capitalization to know some twatwaffle who celebrates the absolute worst and overtly racist parts of colonizing north america posted this

If there arent enough people to sign up, the settlement wont be large enough for the law firm to bother pursuing a small settlement. If enough people only signed up for these if the firm was willing to seek actual punitive damages, theyd have to do that if they wanted the case at all.

If the firm is only going to get 100 people to sign on, ATT wouldnt agree to a $177m settlement in the first place. “So a mass movement to force a fundamental shift in this system? that’ll never happen” - Im trying to point out that we’re the ones enabling the system to fail us as consumers, and we collectively have the power to force law firms to seek higher settlements (or actually try to win cases), which would deter companies from cutting so many corners when it comes to our private data.

Im saying legitimizing the behavior that leads to these class action lawsuits is the downside to joining them. Companies do not see them as any more than the cost of doing business since the settlements are insignificant. With no real consequences for the behavior, and both sides considering the matter settled, joining them is an endorsement of the whole, corrupted process. We’re the ones enabling law firms by signing up to have then “represent our interests,” when really no class member ever gets anything anywhere near compensation, companies aren’t deterred from their actions, and the only people who profit are the company that gets away with bad behavior and the lawfirm which continues to look for more lousy settlements for income. We should be demanding more, or refusing to join.

“Compensation” you mean probably a pittance of maybe an hour’s wage and some “identity theft protection” from a credit rating company that’s also suffered data breaches?

these class action lawsuits are nothing but performances that line the pockets of law firms (and the lawyers at the companies) while allowing investors, c-suite executives and board members to direct employees to penny pinch when it comes to keeping private data safe, respecting existing laws and regulations or really caring at all about anything but maximizing quarterly profits.

no one should be initiating or joining any of these class action suits- firms always settle, don’t give two shits about the size of the settlement (so they are never large enough to actually discourage companies, nor compensate those affected), only caring about getting a company to pay their salaries and bonuses while denying theyve ever done anything wrong.

If you qualify, maybe take a moment to contact the law firm and tell them to either actually try to win these cases - seeking penalties that actually deter behavior - or be labeled as obviously complicit in the shitty behavior of the breached company by accepting a settlement that does nothing but pay the law firm and allow ATT to continue to do more of the same. don’t be a willing participant in their sad grift passed off as justice

In florida years ago, when e-verify was being pushed, and tomato farm operations had to verify social security numbers for their employees, they didnt start paying legal/competitive wages- they just left tomatoes on the vines to rot - and then took subsidies and tax breaks for operating those farms at a loss. some agriculture companies just got out of the tomato business altogether.

employers at the largest levels don’t care about construction, or farming or whatever- they care about profit. the investors don’t care about the work their companies perform- if a sector becomes significantly less profitable because of a lack of immigrant workers, they don’t just take a hit to their profits and move on, they pull their investments and find another business to invest in. there will plainly be less construction firms, less farms, less local restaurants able to compete with the chains.

the money in this economy is hoarded by the upper class- they can control how businesses operate, and because the rest of us have limited buying power, our choices are dictated more by what we can afford than what we need or want. demand in this economy has power, but it is easily overwhelmed by control of the supply by purely profit motivated investors.

they dont want to make less money selling higher priced tomatoes, and at the same time, we dont have the available income to budget for higher priced tomatoes, from the largest or smaller farms, and will just shift spending to other cheap food we can afford in our budgets. lots of businesses will close but the investors- who most elected officials serve- will just invest elsewhere, which is why they don’t care about the impact on the rest of us. large operations will gobble up the failing smaller ones, consumer options will continue to shrink, and the people we’ve been exploiting for their labor will lose their source of income.

there will be no industry-wide rise in low wages, just diminishing supply. eventually the tariffs will go, and then supply will be replaced by (even cheaper) foreign production.

I love the pi zero version- it’s a great toy and occasionally a useful tool. was hoping the CM5 version would use 18650, but Ill still buy this with the flat battery.

FYI they sell one that can be reprogrammed. It’s still USB PD, but that covers most use cases.

They also sell a kit of compatable barrel jack plug adapters of many shapes and sizes.

If the FTC was doing their job, they would end, and actively work against the venue ownership and ticketing system monopoly, as well as limit ownership of housing and rental property. Dictating fees must change from “hidden” to “listed clearly up front” doesnt address the problem: monopoly pricing and shady practices from a lack of effective competition.

“Could not find a suitable release”

but I see the apk there on the page when I open it in a browser. maybe youve added some extra apk link detection, or your setup is different from mine. can you confirm the shared link works for you as-is when added again to obtanium? Im using v1.1.52

ed: FYI there is an app config listed for peertube in obtanium’s “crowdsourced configurations” link that works for me, even if the version string is a bit wonky (but that frustratingly happens often with obtanium). it downloads the same v1.0.1 apk

Oh this is some sort of “all the news of the day” article, where the headline is talking about three different things- not really great for posting on lemmy imho. Better to post an individual article about the subject you want to share.

I wanted to see the dual screen cyberdeck (with a 23inch eink display!) that also somehow meant the end of LG smarphones called “Lilbits”

FYI it does work, but be aware youll need (sandboxed) google play services installed on at least one profile of your phone to connect a wearOS device
