I'm sure the private contractors will the. Also say they were harmed by having to work as Nazis under a totalitarian regime that they enabled.

Zucman puts it more emphatically. “I think democracy versus oligarchy is going to be the battle of the 21st century,” he says. “I don’t know how long it’s going to take for the Democratic Party to actually understand that.

What a terribly disappointing conclusion. The author is as naive as he's under the impression the Democratic party is. Those in control of the Democratic party are absolutely aware where their largest financial backing comes from.

They know it dipshit, it's why they submarined Bernie and refused to even mention mandamis name until he'd already won. It's why AOC was passed over for party leadership appointment roles in Congress. They don't want to win against oligarchy.

I'm sure police officers undergo similar social media reviews so any with white supremacist, fascist, bigoted, racist and sexist memes wouldn't allowed to be officers right?

Props to Weinstein for standing up for his right not to have speech suppressed. Did the background investigation look for those who may have a bias toward the polices anti-constitutitonal violence, discrimination?

This is a demonstration in political power and how much of the city administration has been corrupted to want to protect police from the very accountability the public overwhelmingly demanded. Such. Deep. Rot.

Fuck a pledge, it's the law! We have statue that makes driving while phoning illegal...what we would need is actual enforcement!

Yes, I could definitely see the lower dollar increasing tourism to the US in the current context with everything that has been done to boost foreigners desire to visit the US. Who wouldn't want to visit the US right now?!?

Trump seems to think it would be appropriate:

Donald Trump has filed defamation lawsuits against a range of individuals and organizations. Media figures and outlets have been frequent targets:

ABC News and George Stephanopoulos were sued over comments stating Trump was found liable for “rape,” which Trump claimed was false; the case was settled with ABC donating $15 million to his library.

CNN was sued for $475 million over its use of the term “the big lie” and comparisons to Adolf Hitler, but the lawsuit was dismissed.

The New York Times and four of its reporters were sued for $15 billion, accusing them of defamation and acting as a “mouthpiece” for political opponents.

CBS and its “60 Minutes” were sued for $10 billion over alleged deceptive editing of Kamala Harris’s interview.

The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and two journalists were sued for $10 billion over a report about a lewd note Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Des Moines Register, its pollster J. Ann Selzer, and parent company Gannett were sued over a pre-election poll showing Trump trailing Harris in Iowa. 

Simon & Schuster and Bob Woodward were sued for allegedly violating copyright and defaming Trump by using recorded interviews out of context in a book.

Trump has also sued individuals associated with media or public commentary, including journalists and publishers, often over reporting he claims damaged his reputation. Some cases are ongoing, while others have been dismissed or settled.

App used to automatically load posts from what I recall but no longer seems to even under "all" categories so it's certainly not a "tiny communities/no new posts” thing. If I scroll back to the top of "all" and drag down to refresh, new content loads

Boost/Lemmy/android/pixel8a but seems like a server issues unless I've missed a setting somewhere?

 

Right wing media and think tanks consistently blitz the news and press when tax increases are discussed, threatened or, in the recnent instance of Mamdani, the new more progressive mayor of NY, that progressive taxation policy drives the rich to leave.

I wanted to share this article about the UK media outlets misleading, inaccurate and over representation of coverage here of the identical issue as the same schlock fear mongering without any data is done there as in the US. I assume the playbook is the same in Canada, Australia and elsewhere but would be interested to hear from those better informed.

Coordinated, well funded attacks on critical democratic infrastructure are not coincidence globally, they are the playbook.

As someone >90th percentile in height and >75th percentile in weight for the US, I've found in the last 5 years I now no longer fit into most "Large" size clothing and need to buy more "Medium" sized clothing. I haven't lost/gained weight nor shrunk(that I'm aware of). Statistically, numerically and culturally this seems strange.

Anyone else find sizes that "should" or "used to" fit have morphed and you now shop different sizes where your body size hasn't changed?

OregonLive is known for gating links after the fact, so here's the important bit for folks living under the Sinclair or Nexstar umbrellas:

"If you live in a broadcast region run by the Sinclair or Nexstar media companies, you can only watch the full Tuesday episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Hulu (free trial) streaming the day after it airs, or you can watch Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue and more clips from the show on YouTube shortly after it airs (this should be some time after 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday)."

I assume the company, regardless of its home nation, would issues new shares for the new market and the income from equity issued would be added to the overall corporate balance sheet.

I ask; isn't this essentially, for current shareholders, a dilution? While opening new markets is generally positive for growth, existing shareholders get no stake in the new issued shares right? Existing shares they have don't gain in value at all from the price of another trade/exchange value right? Are there share classes where maybe new issuance would actually make them increase in value?

Own shares in a foreign market that I think will expand to the US soon and wanted to make sure I understood impact.

Thank you for considering.
