Jetzt sind wieder linke Klubs im Visier
Das hat es seit Jahrzehnten nicht gegeben: In #brandenburg versuchten mutmaßliche Rechtsextreme, linke Klubs zu stürmen. Das Bundesland hatte mal eine klare Strategie gegen #neonazis doch die scheint nicht mehr zu greifen.“ @derspiegel #pay

U.S. Senator #ChrisMurphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday speaks on the U.S. Senate floor to expose the unprecedented #corruption of the #Trump administration’s first six weeks in office. Murphy condemns Trump’s normalization of #pay-to-play politics, where #billionaire donors dictate policy and taxpayer money is funneled into the pockets of the president, #ElonMusk, and the #corporate #elite.
There once was a nation so fine
With wealth that was in steep decline
After a decade so long
Their place in the throng
Of affluent lands started to resign

Again, a pledge to not sell people's data has disappeared. #Varma insisted this is the result of the fluid definition of “sell” in the context of data sharing and privacy.
“Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’), and we don’t #buy data about you,” he said. “We changed our #language because some jurisdictions define ‘sell’ more broadly than most people would usually understand that word.”

The technology white collar eradication continues. Since 2022 where #TCI Fundie #ChristopherHohn* decided he needed a pay rise, one way was to demand #google loose it’s “over paid” #Engineers. Big Tech has followed by stripping workers and looking at #AI as a replacement,

Big oil pushed to kill bill that would have made them pay for wildfire disasters
Legislation has new life in wake of Los Angeles catastrophe but US fossil-fuel industry is already mobilizing against it
In the year preceding the devastating Los Angeles county wildfires, big oil fiercely lobbied to kill a “#polluter #pay” bill that moved through the California senate
-- and would have forced major fossil fuel companies to help cover the costs of climate disasters.
Fossil-fuel industry lobbying in California spiked to record levels during the 2023-24 legislative session,
-- and the polluter pay bill was among the most targeted pieces of legislation,
a Guardian review of state lobby filings found.
Good morning.

After I got out of Marine Corps Boot Camp in 1971, I got paid twice a month. I was going to say every two weeks but that isn't quite right with the exception of most Februarys. But anyway, back in those days we reported to a pay officer who would pay us in cash, for me he would snap out two brand new $20 bills. That's right my take home pay was $80 per month. Take home isn't quite accurate either because I lived in a barracks, so hey, free room and board. I should mention that I did automatically purchase a savings bond every month, which would increase my net pay to $100. My payday was all spending money, which lasted a week until I was again waiting for payday.
