"Get them while they're young" could equally apply to big tobacco, the NRA, or big tech. If you're at a certain level of wealth and you are actively targeting kids w/ eating disorders (Instagram/Meta), then I don't thing regulation stymies innovation.
Thanks for doing this! Can you also send some of your Wonder Woman magic to @drpanmd.bsky.social who is running to flip a seat in California's third congressional district? He is the former chair of the California Senate Health Committee and is a pediatrician who will counter RFK Jr. with facts
What are Trump's financial interests in Argentina? Argentina = world's fourth largest producer of lithium, key for lithium batteries, and said to be part of a new cold war b/w and China & U.S. over natural resources. T also recently tried to acquire a state interest in a Canadian lithium company.
Good idea. And a clause granting a cause of action allowing state, federal, and private citizens to sue to enforce it. As well as a clause stating that, to the extent that this provision conflicts with any other Supreme Court case or statute, this provision would prevail. @ericswalwell.bsky.social
It needs enforceability, such as a suspension of pay and or loss of job for any officer credibly documented as masking or failing to provide id, violating state or federal law, and engaging in excessive force or other constitutional violations. And even that isn't enough. @ericswalwell.bsky.social
Just fyi: Milei, who crashed Argentina's with his austerity measures that robbed pensioners of their retirements, is the man T is copying in the U.S. He's also bailing out Argentina's dictator, who gave EM a jeweled chainsaw at CPAC, to the tune of $20 billion. english.elpais.com/internationa...
who is going to hire someone with ICE agent on their resume? perhaps one of thiel's private contract security firms (though perhaps too mentally volatile for even that line of work), but being a violent thug is usually disqualifying for future jobs.
And anyone charged under 18 U.S.C. 111 should have an affirmative defense against charges of impeding, etc., a federal officer in his/her duties if the officer refuses to show proper identification.
I am curious to know if anyone is pursuing a public nuisance action re: spraying tear gas into residential areas and/or arguing an irreparable harm/unreasonable delay exception re: the exhaustion doctrine under the NEPA caselaw. @aclu-or.bsky.social@acluofcentralil.bsky.social@earthjustice.org
@marcbenioff.bsky.social You have helped fund kids' healthcare generously over the years. Do you really want to put our children in harm's way by inviting this (see above) into the Bay Area?
If the government is using chem weapons that cause long-term harm to kids, then someone should sue. Also, no amount of gas masks can give 24-7 protection The people deploying the tear gas are poisoning themselves. @npr.org@gtconway.bsky.social@earthjustice.org@asharangappa.bsky.social
They will rob grandma and the veterans who served our country for tax breaks for JD Vance and his tech bros. And "able-bodied folks" will see their insurance premiums skyrocket when they completely deregulate the market. Between this and RFK Jr., it's hard not to believe that all harm is intentional
Horrifying. Someone should tell T that if he stopped pouring funding into ICE, militarizing our cities, and striking fishermen off the coast of Venezuela and instead poured funding into public health and cancer research, he might actually stand a chance of winning an award.
