Well if he should get tens of millions for that how much should the victims of Camp Lejeune get for watching their loved ones waste away with cancer. Because the Trump/Bondi DoJ is trying to prevent us from getting anything while these Nazis loot the govt.

It is the 110th anniversary of the murder of the labor organizer Joe Hill. The Salt Lake Tribune wrote about it.

Who was Joe Hill?
Joe Hill. The making of a martyr. Did Utah execute an innocent man by firing squad on Nov. 19, 1915? A century later, Joe Hill inspires artists and galvanizes activists.

Some, like California's Kevin Kiley, pointed to it as evidence that the Trump-ordered mid-cycle redistricting has turned into a colossal own goal for a desperate party worried about being sent packing by voters next year.

there is no ethical or moral center to these people except profit and puffing out their chests for the public.
If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

It's also about enforcing their narrow version of what "correct" gender expression is.
It's not coincidental that the cis women who get harassed in women's restrooms for allegedly being trans women are invariably non-femme lesbians, or straight women deemed "too masculine" looking.

The core aim of the Terf movement - a tiny number of newspaper columnists who melted the brains of middle aged reactionaries - was always to encourage maximum public hostility against transgender people, and give them the impunity to act upon it.
