1. The law says small businesses must get a fair shot at competing—but for decades the government stopped enforcing that law.

Last week @FTC revived the law and sued Southern Glazer's for discriminating against small retailers in favor of massive chains.

A year ago, Denise broke her ankle working at Amazon.

The company fired her while she was on approved medical leave. Then, they fired her husband for taking time off to care for her.

"When you are injured on the job, you should be taken care of."

Listen to her story here:

I wrote about the narrative that AI will create an energy crisis, which is a great way to build unnecessary fossil fuel infrastructure and cement the market share of a few big companies without having any real conversation about whether that’s actually needed

@BrianLehrer You are insulting important work done on Leo & FedSoc years ago by saying “Who else could have uncovered this story but Andrea & Ilya & ” Andrea & Ilya ProPub do GREAT work but did not uncover this story. U should apologize.

@DrDadabhoy Yes, it’s disgusting. I think a lot of people are cowed by the very widespread equating of criticism of Israel with anti-semitism. They are unable to defend themselves when facing that libel.
The history is very long &complicated, major media never present meaningful history

Courageous of @BrianLehrer to try to give a fairer consideration of some of the many many issues around the Mideast, unlike most major media who seem to want to repeat their gross (ultimately murderous) irresponsibility in promoting Iraq, Afghanistan wars.

@trask3rd Then there are the truly blinding LED LIGHT BARS that are completely unregulated.

[Green New Deal Now! @WorkingBulb]

@MartinTruther @JoJoFromJerz You certainly are full of passionate intensity.

Everyone should read this letter.

@rulajebreal Humiliation of Palestinians is an essential part of Israels program slow motion genocide.

[Green New Deal Now! @WorkingBulb]

@brianlehrer one could also sue major media for grossly under reporting the effects of fossil fuels, @wnyc included.
Then there’s Fox!

“Today, for the first time in US history, a court ruled on the merits of a case that the govt violated the constitutional rights of children through laws & actions that promote fossil fuels, ignore climate change, & disproportionately imperil young people”

@nprpolitics will never report on this. @wnyc @BrianLehrer

@kairyssdal #climatechange was a test for media that began over 20 years ago.
YOU FAILED.

@Laurie_Garrett Of all the social crimes perpetrated by GOP these sadistic laws drive me the most crazy.
I’ve never understood why abortion rights supporters don’t call the laws something like “Guaranteed Fatherhood for Rapists”

[Green New Deal Now! @WorkingBulb]

@sarahkendzior It’s stunning how little reporting was ever done on Trump’s history, despite how well-documented it already was. MSM was perfectly happy to make billions & watch everything turn to sht. Same goes, more importantly, for environment reporting.

@RonFilipkowski You shouldn’t be so hard on sociopaths, Ron. They’re people too!

[Green New Deal Now! @WorkingBulb]

@SamLMontano What frustrates me is that people aren’t speaking publicly about how society can plan for the future that’s obviously coming, where it will be *physically impossible* to give disaster victims “everything they need”. (And are not discussing resource hoarding by the oligarchy.)
