Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

Here’s a thread on how an attempt on Venezuelan oil could go horribly wrong. I watched it happen in Colombia for years. Now add cheap drone technology to the mix and that oil infrastructure becomes *extremely* vulnerable to sabotage.
Colombian guerrillas would just drive along the road & shoot holes into the pipeline. They would then start a huge blaze with a flare. It was extremely destructive to the environment & poisoned streams. The pipelines had to parallel the road for servicing reasons, so it was impossible to protect. 3/

MAHA CDC's lie about ignored studies? That's not "cautious" that's "we're going to put out propaganda using junk science to rehabilitate Andrew Wakefield"
At the point at which you're defending research misconduct / human subjects violations like this, I don't know what to say.

This is how I interpret it. Decades of research still show no link between vaccines and autism. CDC’s new wording is cautious, not a shift in science. We need transparency, strong evidence, and clear communication—while countering misinformation that harms public trust.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

A good counter point to victim blaming rhetoric is noting that the best cyclists in the world get hit by drivers. It's not about skill; it's about lack of infrastructure and dangerous drivers (yes, even in the Netherlands). This happened in broad daylight too.
