Well, you see it's not assassination coordinates when bundled for sale to advertisers. teapaw.org/Fly_Sistah/status/1603…
Intriguing that it's now a TOS violation to share the live location of someone but of course its okay for Twitter to SELL live location information to Twitter advertisers for targeted ads?

Congress not only voting to impose a contract that rail road workers REJECTED but also failing to provide those workers with a SINGLE sick day is beyond infuriating and disgusting. We stand with the rail road workers and condemn Congress’ betrayal of working class people.

The IRS is warning Americans that this tax season they must report payments on Venmo, PayPal & Zelle of over $600. Meanwhile… The Pentagon just failed its FIFTH audit in a row, as they were unable to account for 61% of their $3.5 trillion in assets. $800 billion annual budget.

Look I'm not saying this to knock Hive, but this shit is *HARD* The fact they didn't even understand the fact that username uniqueness is an important question? BIG HECKING RED FLAG. So .. I'm not surprised to see this. arstechnica.com/information-…

Like... I'm *REALLY* not crapping on Hive. Software development is difficult. There's a reason I don't trust "smart devices" in general. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022… Both of these are just from today. Both are nothing unusual in terms of discovering horrible vulnerabilities.

It would cost $688 million to provide 15 days of paid sick leave to rail workers and prevent a lockout that would cost the economy $2 billion a day. Buffett is the owner of BNSF Rail and is worth $110 billion. This is not philanthropy. This is corporate greed.
Warren Buffett on Wednesday donated more than $750 million in Berkshire Hathaway stock to the four foundations run by his family. cnb.cx/3FaL9Oh

The Respect for Marriage Act does NOT require states to allow same-sex marriage as is held under Obergefell v. Hodges. It also does not prohibit states from taking steps to ban or restrict same-sex marriage if Obergefell were overturned. axios.com/2022/11/30/respect…

everytime the media blames the railway workers for the potential economic impact of a strike, they're taking the responsibility away from the railroad company execs who could avert a strike by conceding to the reasonable demands the unions are making like getting 7 paid sick days

I work 6 days a week, 311 days a year. If I work into my off day when I get up, I may be lucky to have 14 hours to myself. I come home at all hours of the day or night and sometimes have to eat in the dark, so I don’t wake my family. Railroaders just want a better quality of life

I feel like we’re close to cracking the mystery of whether the man who grew up wealthy from Apartheid might be racist

If RR workers are so essential they may be stopped fr striking by a self named ‘pro labor’ president then surely sick leave, which should be the right of every American worker, should be theirs as well.

Woah ok yeah this is the kind of thread I like on twitter. Just.. surprising but logical outcomes and thoughts.
HOW TO BUY A GOOD CASHMERE SWEATER 🧵 I want to address this comment left by someone in response to my Brick Watch Company tweet. It also gets into something I've been wanting to talk about: how to buy a good cashmere sweater.

Why it's a big deal that 1/6 rioters have been convicted for seditious conspiracy: it cements 1/6 as an insurrection. That has 14th Amendment implications for lawmakers who participated.

The "pro-union president" pulling a Regan. PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR TIME TO SLEEP AND PEE. Look into this contract, it's straight wild.
Replying to @POTUS46Archive
As a proud pro-labor President, I'm reluctant to override the ratification procedures and views of those who voted against the agreement. But in this case – where the economic impact of a shutdown would hurt millions – I believe Congress must use its powers to adopt this deal.
