This story on the strippers bill of rights is very interesting. It seems like the legislature may have to revisit some things. The worst excesses of strippers losing money on a shift are over, but strip club owners seem like pieces of shit.
Maybe some sort of collective ownership that cuts them out is a way to go in the future? I don’t know, that’s not helpful in the here and now.
It’s not about Beyonce and Bruce.
It’s about hoping you won’t notice the House bill raises taxes on the lowest earners 74% and slipped in a provision to limit federal courts from enjoining Executive Orders.

Why were the Black Panthers popular in Oakland? Short answer, they distributed food to poor families.
Kat Abughazaleh (House candidate IL-09) spent the weekend cleaning a Lake Michigan beach with a hundred or so supporters who showed for a meet-up and then collecting materials donations for a ‘little free supply library’ of toilet paper, diapers, feminine hygiene products and toothpaste to be distributed no questions asked by dropping by the campaign office.
If y’all don’t want to be called Gestapo maybe don’t roll around concealing your faces (eds note, you are taxpayer funded public servants just to head off the ‘black block’ whaddabout) grabbing whoever you can including citizens and legal green card
holders and sorting it out later.
Then maybe, just maybe, stop getting caught lying in court about what you did and being forced to turn over video of ‘resisting arrest’ aka sitting calmly at a table and answering questions.
And maybe get a judicial warrant occasionally.
Then stop making up percentages about ‘assaults on ICE’ because it never happened AND we all know getting lightly bumped into by a handcuffed person is what you snowflakes report as assault
The EnergyStar program, where electronics are labeled with the cost of powering for an average amount of use per year has helped consumers save billions of dollars over the last 2.5 decades on electricity bills AND made manufacturers (the market) lower consumption of devices to be as attractive to consumers as competitors.
So of COURSE DogeY and the GOP budgets wants to zero out the mere $38m to run the program. Miriam Adelson needs the tax cut. Just her. Just her personal TRUMP tax cut would pay for it to continue.
This guy is a desperate POS.

It’s Ukraine’s land. It all belongs to Ukraine.
And it will never belong to RuZZia.
No matter what happens, RuZZia will never know a moment’s peace on the lands they have stolen and occupied. Even if the whole world abandon’s Ukraine’s struggle for freedom, and Putin succeeds in his lust for European conquest, a violent insurgency will take root and never go away. EU nations and others will support that permanent insurgency as a way to freeze RuZZian aggression in an enduring quagmire. And it will spread very quickly to Belarus, probably resulting in the collapse of the Lukashenko authoritarian regime. Poland will face political destabilization and become drawn in, indirectly supporting the insurgency. That will in turn draw other EU and NATO alliance members into the conflict indefinitely unless and until a negotiated settlement is reached restoring Ukraine’s territories.
Good times.
The Ford Motor Company, a 121 year old automobile manufacturer operating in over 125 countries around the globe, the sixth largest global automobile manufacturer and the only major US manufacturer to decline a taxpayer bail out, is now the maker of the most popular all electric pickup truck in the world.
https://insideevs.com/news/759788/tesla-cybertruck-q1-registrations-top/
The article correctly points out that, without radical new technology development, the pickup truck market segment can never become a major source of sales or sales growth in EVs, an assessment that Ford’s CEO Jim Farley, an industry veteran with a lifetime of experience, readily agrees with.
Too bad Elmo bet the entire fucking Tesla company future on a concept that can’t work and that nobody really wanted.

The thing is, Ford did not bet the company’s future on the Lightning. They never expect it to be a significant contributor to sales, nor to make any sort of meaningful inroads into real pickup market share. I think they are pretty fucking happy to prove that they can build a better all electric truck than the company that focuses exclusively on battery only vehicles.
But moreover, with refinements to the basic platform, the Lightning could lead to a high performing EV service body, cargo van, passenger van, parcel delivery van, or even a box truck. The light truck divisions of Ford and GM are all about fleet. Only pretensions insecure douche nozzles need a rolling stainless steel dumpster. But there are a ton of fleet customers yearning to begin converting to EV.

It’s obvious why Trump is lying about the plane being a gift. Taxpayers are already on the hook for the new Air Force One planes on order, and now he wants the public to pay for a vanity plane on the side, while taking Medicaid and food stamps away from the working poor and their children. What a selfish piece of shit. Why doesn’t he buy it himself with the millions he’s raking in from merch and fake crypto?

It got better. Noem followed up by saying she supports Habeas Corpus while recognizing The President has ‘The Constitutional right’ to suspend it. (libertarian their feelings on Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln retroactively got Congress to approve suspension of habeas corpus.)
Next Dem Senator questions for Norm, who it’s safe to say does not have a pocket Constitution on her at any time…
Habeas in a fundamental sense represents the very first, most basic baby steps that human society made departing from the tyranny of kings.
This is where the Arthurian legend stuff first begins to appear in the cultural associations grounding our laws. So it’s essentially early medieval in orgins and reflects the emerging sense at that time that even kings should be bound by some basic duties to the people they governed and that could not ever be waived.
At the time, around 1150 or so) England was quite a mess, infused with social dissolution and upheaval. A massively disastrous Norman civil war had left the countryside infested with roving bands of well armed, well trained mercenaries who fed themselves off the serfs and peasants left unprotected by the Crusades. Nobles in the North and East were in open rebellion. And in the absence of traditional English nobility off to loot the Holy Land, land disputes arose and legal pretenders to local authority emerged. At the same time the Catholic church had established itself as a self-governing authority on its own and, seeking enrichment, began to exert itself over local, earthly matters in dispute.
At the time the common methods employed to dispense “justice” consisted of things like “trial by combat”. The uncertainty that these methods introduced into the growing conditions of legal dispute over titles, authority, and ownership prompted King Henry to intervene. He began by establishing a system of local courts of law providing a public legal process. These new, local courts introduced the basic elements that we associate with western law courts of justice, like appointed judges to preside, juries to weigh evidence and decide the facts, the sworn testimony of witnesses, and eventually the provision of a right (writ) to the accused that they be entitled to face their accusers in public trial and challenge the claims against them. Although at the time the original role of the judge and jury was limited to determining if an offense existed. The defendant was then committed to a “trial by ordeal” such as drowning, thus leaving it up to “God” to decide.
So habeas is very much rooted in the most fundamental ideas of legal process afforded to citizens going back a thousand years and has become entirely integrated into our cultural understanding of what “justice” means. Hardly any rational adult alive today in western culture would approve of “trial by combat” or “trial by ordeal” as a way of deciding a legal dispute. But that is of course exactly what MAGA is attempting to impose upon people living in the United States with brown skin.
While Trump overhauls FEMA, Mississippi tornado survivors await assistance
McKee said the county has sunk an estimated $700,000 into cleaning up the damage but can’t afford to spend more and has halted operations until it receives federal help.
“We need federal help, and we need it desperately, and we need it now,” said Bobby McGinnis, a Tylertown resident and firefighter. “I know President Trump said that — America first, we’re going to help our American folks first. But we haven’t seen the federal folks down here.”

I know my liberal friends oppose the death penalty in all cases, but I’d make a few exceptions. This guy didn’t only rob a convenience store; he doused the 76-year-old clerk with lighter fluid and set her on fire. She “suffered extensive second- and third-degree burns over her head and face, neck, shoulders, upper arms, and leg and was in a great deal of pain in the days before she died, a nurse and doctor testified” at his trial. If anyone deserves death, a torture killer does. Life in prison isn’t nothing, but in a case like this, doesn’t seem like enough. If I were on the Texas board of pardons and paroles, I wouldn’t commute his sentence, either.
