Hiltzik: Liberalizing child labor laws will kill children – Los Angeles Times

...What may be most horrifying about these accidents is that the work the children were doing is illegal under the laws of both states. But they happened amid a nationwide push by manufacturer and restaurant lobbies to liberalize child labor laws in those states and elsewhere.

Canada is still on fire, along with Greece, Spain, the Swiss Alps, and many other places. 🔥🔥🔥

In Canada, the total is now over a thousand active fires, with 680 burning out of control. More than 11 million hectares of Canadian forests and grasslands have been consumed by flames, WAY above all previous records.

Our world is burning. But that will never stop us, of course, from carrying on with Business As Usual. That is, it won’t stop the oil industry from drilling and fracking and from mining tar sands. Why? Because capitalism!!💰💰💰

Cole Wagner helped muscle into the Alabama Constitution an amendment declaring the state recognized “the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children.”

Now Wagner has been arrested for the sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/anti-abortion-leader-child-sex-abuse-1234794177/

There’s something in the air today. Could it be…yes, I recognize that. It’s the sweet smell of a pending indictment. Federal flavored, I believe. Can’t come soon enough.

No, #Abbott. You don't get to just make up whatever laws suit your agenda. And you don't get to pretend that inconvenient laws don't apply to you.

Both Landsat 8 and 9 have optical sensors that collect beautiful images of Earth. 😍 🌏

Called the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and OLI-2, these sensors take measurements in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I love that he’ll sell Rudy out.

Why is it that when progressive policies that help the bottom 90 percent are proposed, the question always seems to be, "How will you pay for it?"

But when the top 1 percent ask for bailouts, tax cuts, and subsidies, the question always seems to be, "How much do you need?"

Xi is pronounced Shi
Xitter is the perfect name for Elon's disastrous hellsite.

Feed every child. It removes any stigma about who gets free lunch. It helps those older students who may already be working to help support the family. For a country that has the resources we have, there is no excuse for hungry kids.

Opinion: A radical idea: Just give kids lunch-

@TonyStark And breakfast too. Every child that goes to school should have the opportunity to receive 2 hot meals every day.

I absolutely love this. On Truth Social, Donald Trump now promotes the conspiracy theory, that the US government staged the January 6 attack.

So somehow the deep state was able to get Trump to rally the crowd, fire them up with lies and instruct them to go down to The Capitol and “fight like hell”.

I have to know more — was Trump a victim of hypnosis?

Ron DeSantis makes Alabama Governor George Wallace look like Tom Hanks.

It’s both painful and difficult to laugh when you’re suffering from laryngitis.

Tubs thinks he’s still playing football. He cannot comprehend there’s no football, only the lives of military personnel and their families. https://www.al.com/politics/2023/07/military-spouses-deliver-petition-to-tuberville-on-inappropriate-and-unpatriotic-hold-on-nominations.html

I’ve gotten quite a few follows lately from folks with private accounts. I will never request to follow someone as I believe it defeats the whole purpose of social media.

@Huntn00 the level of grist going on in our society is probably worse than the late 1800s and early 1900s in the days of the #RobberBarons except with the added twist that we’re all going down the ecological shitter, and apparently, headlong into oblivion. Which the earth will survive, but we will not.

@Huntn00 one other thing I will say, is that, in my work in the public sector, and seeing the goings-on that I do, I’ve noticed that most of the recycle that people think they’re putting into the proper bins, goes right into the trash, and isn’t recycled at all
