The UAW Strike Is Bringing Out Republicans’ True Anti-Worker Colors
The UAW strike has put the GOP in a bind: keep pitching themselves as pro-worker or reveal their rhetoric as a masquerade. Yesterday, presidential candidate Tim Scott chose to say what Republicans actually think: “You strike, you’re fired."

"I knew Kansas officials would overstep after Marion raid. I didn’t expect it to be in Lawrence."
Kansas, the state where free speech goes to die.
The article is a funny read, but, to summarize, Douglas County deputy district attorney Joshua Seiden beclowned himself when he decided that public records should be shielded from the public. His argument was that the news outfit that required it was a little "fledgling publication devoid of journalist integrity and constantly on the prowl for potential clickbait."
What the fuck does that have anything to do with anything??? These are ***PUBLIC*** records. When records are public, you don't get to pick and choose who can see them.
As Clay Wirestone (the author of the article) puts it, aptly and humorously:
"That means that the public — you and I and that fellow we glimpsed down the alleyway late at night — have the right to read them."
Damn right! Even the town drunk would have the right to see those records.

"Alabama band director tased by police for not stopping his students' performance"
Do I need to say it??
Do I FUCKING need to say it???
ACAB!!!!!!!
There's a video attached to the news article. It is hard to watch, even for me, who has not yet been traumatized by police brutality. Well, other than witnessing it on the news.
Who was this man threatening with his music? They just needed a few minutes to finish their piece, and then they would have been on their way. On what kind of planet is tasing this guy JUSTIFIED!?
From the article:
"When Mims was discharged, he was taken to jail on charges of disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrest."
These are bogus charges. The man should not have been arrested IN THE FIRST PLACE.
How many times does this bullshit need to happen before police departments see the light?
I'm crying right now at the complete travesty of justice that happened there!
"But the cops were black!!! This cannot be racism."
Yo, asshole! I can't claim to be on the up and up about all the terms in use. I would have called this institutional racism. See, I'm white, but my black ex-gf taught me a term: internalized racism. Most likely, both of these are at play here.

"Fed-up consumers are increasingly going after food companies for misleading claims"
I'm with the consumers on this one. That's the difference between:
Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers
and
Mango-flavored Dragonfruit Starbucks Refreshers
(I'm not sure about the status of the dragonfruit in the drink, but you get the gist.)
If there's no Mango in it, and you just use flavoring, then call it Mango-flavored.
Also, given that I'm seeing health benefit claims from drinking mango dragonfruit refreshers online, I do think there's substance to the notion that people feel swindled if there is no mango in the product.
Other examples are given in the article.

The ISG doesn't have a Mastodon established (yet) but I think folks over at @coopartisans might also be interested in sharing this information. Otherwise, uh... just... follow them too, and consider joining! Both organizations are good.
An excerpt from the link:
"Brian Conlan – Deputy Legislative Director from the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin – reached out to us to ask if we would support a new bill – the COOL Online Act. The bill requires products posted online from sellers in the US to display which country they were made in, much like products in US stores display the same “made in” labeling. In other words, a legal requirement for resellers to admit that their products are mass-produced overseas!"
#RudyGiuliani admits he lied when he made the lives of election workers hell by making up lies about them manipulating ballots in a video.
Funny how often prominent Republicans turn out to be liars and criminals. You'd think conservative citizens would eventually get tired of supporting such people.

Consequences are coming for the Michiganders pretending to be legitimate electors in the 2020 election. I'm from Michigan, so this stands out to me. Remember that's also where armed militants barged into the state capitol during the pandemic and where right-wing extremists plotted to kidnap the governor.
Time for Michigan to learn that democracy matters.

It’s Not Possible to ‘Win’ an Argument With Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“You can come armed with all the facts in the world, but when you’re dealing with a conspiracist, there’s no real way to ‘win’ an argument. For people whose views aren’t anchored to facts, winning is simply getting attention — and when you publicly argue with someone like Kennedy, you’ve already lost.”

As Texas swelters, local rules requiring water breaks for construction workers will soon be nullified
Gov. Abbott approved a law to eliminate ordinances for mandated water breaks. Texas is a state where most workers die from high temperatures.
Republicans show once again that they are anything BUT pro-life. And somehow, far too many blue collar workers continue to vote for them despite constantly being trampled on by them.
