For those looking to boycott, just stop watching TV. They (Paramount) own so much shit. As an 80s kid it seems so wrong the same company owns VH1 and MTV (nevermind neither channel is what it used to be).

I'm probably in the minority on this one but I'll disable my ad blocker if you stop fucking tracking me.

Just like how Netflix and Hulu and Disney+ have gotten more and more siloed, having more and more exclusive content, I don't want to give money to just one or two publications. Mostly the NYT is utter crap but they do have a decent editorial here and there and I won't want to only support "liberal" news sources either. As you said I'd be okay with a flat rate and the sites I visit the most get the most of my money or if there were more independent agencies or foundations that would give grants to news orgs that have demonstrated a commitment to honest and fair journalism.

They're the Oceangate of cars but are way better at covering up the deaths

Auto collision lawyers were excited I'm sure.

So you're against using psychological warfare on ICE agents? If they feel shitty about doing their jobs lean into it!

I'm thinking less than that before the Federal government enters a no bid contract for 50k units for ICE patrols. Their "breakup" is a ruse. Otherwise Trump would pull money from Elon's projects like any other congressionally approved spending.

There's no way the list is only right-wingers. Possibly, throwing the book at one person would mean they squeal on everyone. Maxwell might've considered it but after Epsteins death she probably preferred to stay alive.

That's been the entire theme of Trump's 2nd term: Normalize Nazism.

I tried listening to one of his monologues to get an idea "how the other side thinks" and I couldn't finish it. From the sounds of it too I'm not sure his entire audience could finish the monologue either.

ADL: Clearly they were being ironic. I see no issues here.

It's really been a broken system since Marbury v. Madison (1803). The lesser known finding of that case was that SCOTUS can declare something to be illegal or a violation of the law but can't do shit beyond that. It took over 200 years for a President to fully understand SCOTUS has no real teeth. If you control the enforcers of the law, you ARE the law.

Recently SB10 passed the House to soon be signed by Greg Abbott. Public schools will have to abide by the law and display a copy if one is donated. What are some ways to comply with the law but also piss off the TX lege?

Nothing about color scheme is mentioned in the bill, or font size, or text orientation, or specifics for the frame. I have a few ideas but I also don't want to punish teachers and students with things like a poster made of iron or a gigantic one that covers an entire wall.
