Reminds me of this far-right antivaxer who suggested being exposed to a weakened version of the virus to build immunity instead of vaccines.

The so-called "big beautiful bill" contains a provision to significantly undermine the court system. I posted this article to "Politics" and wrote about how you can fight back against Trump's court-baiting. See here: https://lemm.ee/post/64983181 or click on the cross-posted to link to read more.

 

I feel this is a really important article. If you get hit with a paywall you can use try this link here: https://archive.ph/YVWxP

Donald Trump and his allies are attacking the court systems by doing things that they know are illegal and they know will get shut down by the courts but the things he's trying to do sound popular among his supporters. The goal is to erode support for an independent and fair judicial system. Andrew O'Donohue, the author of the article calls this authoritarian playbook "court-baiting".

The so-called "big beautiful bill" contains a hidden provision to significantly undermine the court system. That's why it's important you contact your senators and demand it's removed. You can consider using 5calls which includes a helpful script or finding their contact information on their senate website.

Please note that the 5calls script is only suitable for contacting Democrat senators in my opinion since it mentions Trump.

Here's a modified script that I suggest using especially for Republican senators but could be used for anyone.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose H.R. 1, the House budget reconciliation bill, especially the provision that limits the enforcement of contempt of court charges. This measure weakens our judicial system—the same independent courts our Founding Fathers envisioned as a critical check on governmental power. By diminishing the courts' authority, we risk undermining the constitutional framework that guarantees American liberty. Supporting this provision would be unpatriotic and contrary to the values we hold dear. I trust [REP/SEN NAME] to protect the rule of law and preserve the constitutional balance that has long safeguarded our freedoms.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

And what's the deal with airplane food?

I think it could be called urine (only one letter different from uline).

On the post on Bluesky that I linked to he shows the numbers with screenshots. OK it's not literally half when I checked the math but it's super close.

238.38 (cost of buying the materials from Uline) / 120.32 (cost of buying the same/similar materials from EcoEnclose) = ~1.9812

 

The article makes a really important point:

Reble said he became aware of Uline’s support for Trump through an Etee customer.

This shows the power of contacting companies who are still using Uline. If you receive a product shipped with Uline products please contact the company and tell them that there are lower cost and more ethical alternatives to Uline.

For example here: https://bsky.app/profile/geneha.com/post/3low65f4zac2d a Canadian man was able to literally cut his costs in half by switching away from Uline.

The website https://refuseuline.com/ has a list of Canadian alternatives to Uline. Scroll down to the section labeled "WHAT ABOUT CANADA?".

See some say despising Kid Rock is statutory but I say it's mandatory.

If for some reason you or anyone you know is still using Twitter now is the time to take advantage of the outage and urge people to leave Twitter permanently. Tell your friends about alternatives to Twitter such as Bluesky and Mastodon.
