On April 5th, ICE took 97 people in custody at a factory in rural Tennessee. The I.R.S. believes that the owners of the plant owe the government millions of dollars in back taxes. But the owners were not among the people arrested. http://nyer.cm/pf0Hxhk
So General Michael Flynn’s life can be totally destroyed while Shadey James Comey can Leak and Lie and make lots of money from a third rate book (that should never have been written). Is that really the way life in America is supposed to work? I don’t think so!
Here’s 1984 audio of Trump pretending to be “John Barron” and trying to convince a Forbes journalist to list him as wealthier than he was: https://wapo.st/2HfeYAO?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.fd9570cd0ba5
Here's why calling the cops on "loiterers" is bad:
--We live in overwhelmingly privatized spaces, ever subject to state violence
--It's usually racist and always classist
--It allows the wealthy to socially engineer access and belonging
--Mind your own damn business
"you had it before?" "no" "okay. you'll love it." "'kay" "what's your name" "just write a" "writes "just aaaa..""
that's okay-ish so far, but when I went to pick it up the other barista was like, "what do you think that it is? pistachio? something sweet? nah." but in an insulting tone
too much needless, annoying interaction.
Also that barista followed me to my seat later and was like "it's amazing isn't it, you just want to drink more as you drink" and...
Now that I'm typing it like this it feels sort of like First World Problems but, eh, annoying. They also joked about the name thing and tried to guess my name and I guess all names being male names didn't help with my mood.
> Across the country, socialists are focusing on hyperlocal issues. In Cincinnati, activists helped save the wing of a public library from privatization. In Austin, they pushed to pass what has been called the first mandatory paid sick leave requirement in the South.
yoooooo
We should have a bigger feature in Jacobin at some point maybe next issue
@GnomeSlice They were in the store for under two minutes before the manager called the cops, and the company said it was wrong based on their own understanding of the situation, yet Matt Walsh wants to come along and say "Okay but what if we blamed them instead?" 🤔
> “We are behind you all the way,” President Trump said. “And we want to thank you.” The President called on Congressional Democrats to support the Task Force by closing loopholes that allow drugs and human traffickers to spill into the United States. “We need border protection; we need the wall,” he said.
> “This is Officer Moten. I’m driving on 45 South right now and right now I am at — ” he said before Williams cut him off. “Ain’t nobody got time for this. For real,” she said, and then the line went dead.
I'm still not sure how society doesn't just collapse tbh
Can you imagine being that cop though? Once the phone clicked off do you just stop the car in the middle of the road and try to figure out what the hell just happened? Because I feel like I would
It does seem like some flags should have ideally been raised sooner, not sure exactly what changes could be made that wouldn't have detrimental impact on well meaning operators though
A pattern of an operator frequently ending the call on their end after a short period seems suspicious at first brush, but I guess they also need to get off the line to be able to respond to any new calls ASAP so possibly not in reality
Trump complained about Flynn's 'judgment,' Comey memo says http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/comey-memo-fbi-trump-flynn-1.4627802 Shared via the CBC News Android App
> In a series of startlingly candid conversations, U.S. President Donald Trump told former FBI director James Comey that he had serious concerns about the judgment of a top adviser, asked about the possibility of jailing journalists and described a boast from Vladimir Putin about Russian prostitutes, according to Comey's notes of the talks.
I like his tweet basically saying "Everyone look at this leaked information that totally vindicates me. Also it's classified and shouldn't have been leaked"
@TimStone I was promised a judge who ruled that truckers must remain in life threatening situations if their employer says so or else face rightful termination what to heck
