NEW: Tipsters tell me Pabst is in trouble, having cut 60-70 employees late last week in the 2nd big round of layoffs this year. “I think the layoffs are two-fold, trying to undercut the bad financial performance but also setting the company up for a buyout,” one recently laid-off employee said.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Musk has continued to escalate this anti-EU rhetoric… with help from friends & leaders of industry, Joe Lonsdale and David Sacks. He’s also saying (falsely, by definition) that embracing far right ideology is just being normal.

In former times, billionaire-equivalents did not exist, because if anyone accumulated money/power sufficient to threaten the monarch, they would be executed or imprisoned. (Just ask Putin how that works)

Yeah. All of the strikes have been just as illegal as if Iran sunk a Disney cruise because it suspected passengers carried weed.
But this one is so blatant—helpless survivors on an already-damaged ship—that it's impossible to fabricate any rationale. It's a crack worth widening.

I get this but plenty of people had been calling all the strikes murder and it hadn't broken through. This revelation did and put even Republicans on the defensive and willing to do some oversignt. My sense is that any crack the regime's implacability is a foothold.
Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

Disabled people being denied accommodations is a far bigger issue than "pretenders gaming the system." It's deep and systemic. Many disabled people face obstacles to even getting a diagnosis, which is required for accommodations. We have to stop focusing on everything but the actual problem.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
