It’s not deportation for the non-citizens either, it’s rendition, and it’s all very illegal

So, just in case it wasn’t crystal clear enough what this is, one of the prisoners in the article asked if he could be sent back to Venezuela, and they refused.

My brother doesn’t like work from home either, and I just don’t get it. Working from home has been great for my mental health.

I’m not stressed all the time; I don’t have to worry about things unrelated to my job, like traffic, or what I’ll do for lunch. I don’t have to sit in the cheapest desk chair money can buy, and use a tiny Dell monitor, instead I relax at home, at my desk I already have anyway.

But I’ve never really seen work as a place to socialize to begin with. It’s the one place where I can’t control who is around me, and as a result, there are often people I dislike. I much prefer they remain icons, instead of whole people I have to make small talk with. Then, if there are coworkers I like, I can reach out to them individually

The debate format is also the main place JD Vance’s programing is designed to function. It forces equal weight for both sides, regardless of the validity of their points

Not like those poors, who can’t be trusted not to blow all of their limited funds on junk food. (<-- There it is. There’s the shitting on the poor part.)

This dramatically undervalues the predatory practices of snack food companies, and redirects the blame. This is a problem solved by regulation, but the people that most need to be protected by those regulations are the poor, who are targeted for exploitation by the companies producing cheap, processed “foods.”

RFK is a dangerous idiot, and his handful of seemingly okay policy ideas only exist to distract from the harm that the administration, he is part of, is doing. This is one of those policies. It will never be anything more than a headline in any meaningful way.

I would definitely agree with the advocates for affordable housing saying that there should be some guarantees, but the bill’s sponsor has already said he’s considering that going forward. Otherwise, denser mixed housing around public transit sounds great. Bad look for party leadership

They’ll just end up on sketchier sites that ignore the rule, or learn to use a VPN. Prohibition doesn’t work

At this rate, she’ll be a one term senator. I wonder if she’s being set up to take the brunt of the anger people have for the democratic establishment. It definitely feels like there’s pressure on Michigan from the national party. Whitmer has been talking about working with Trump, which seemed very out of character to me. Some of his goons tried to kidnap her only a few years ago

Surely the leopards will spare my face

I think “margins” might imply percentage, but I Am Not A Businessman. I would be interested to see a full cost breakdown. I bet they’re saving on shipping! Lol

They almost doubled the price, but it cost them 3x more to make

If there’s someone out there that hasn’t heard about this case, I don’t think they should be allowed on the jury either. They’re obviously incapable of paying attention to anything

More dangerous stupidity from Fetterman

Definitely

Ah well, not surprising, especially since they did it once before lol

Especially since Target was known to be more progressive and minority friendly, at least with their marketing.

Are they? All I’ve ever heard about target before this is that they took down pride displays

Uber is neither the driver nor the passenger

For those wanting some insight into why this testing is so important, dairy companies used to add formaldehyde to milk, as a preservative, as well as pureed calf’s brains, to dispose of them

The Musk business cycle: Musk’s ego inserts him somewhere he has no business > he makes a ton of immediate, drastic changes, driven by ketamine, and posts about it online > the entire world laughs at him > he flounders for a few months > someone finally convinces him to step out of the spotlight a little > repeat

The fact that Robert Reich paywalls his Substack is hilarious
