For many Black women, the Target boycott is not over. It may never be. A faith leader announced the end of a yearlong “Target fast,” but many Black women who helped launch the boycott say the movement wasn’t his to call off.

Better article re: the #TargetBoycott

"The company confirmed to USA Today that it’s making no new commitments or reversals on its DEI policy."

and

"Black women across the country are reminding people that they started the boycott — and they’ll decide when it ends."

Gov. Sherrill plan seeks to fine big companies with workers on Medicaid • New Jersey Monitor Gov. Sherrill wants to fine large companies up to $725 annually per worker enrolled in Medicaid. Business groups oppose the plan.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill is seeking to fine big companies with workers on Medicaid.

Her plan would generate $145 million to offset the state's Medicaid costs.

Too often big corporations deny workers healthcare, and rely on the state to step in.

This story is 100% FAKE NEWS.
CNN decided to run this garbage based on three anonymous "sources familiar with discussions."
This is despite the fact that myself, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of State, and multiple lawmakers (who were actually present for the recent classified briefing) have directly disputed this false reporting.
THE TRUTH: The Pentagon has been planning for Iran's desperate and reckless closure of the Strait of Hormuz for DECADES, and it has been part of the Trump Administration's planning well before Operation Epic Fury was ever launched.

So we’re clear about who to blame for higher prices for gas and…everything:

"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."

What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.

one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

I love that Trump's toadies are wearing comically large shoes because the boss bought them and they're too chickenshit to mention that he guessed the wrong size.

I've decided that instead of wasting my own time to see if Grammarly has stolen my name and writing for use their business, I'd just email them to opt out and make them waste some time cleaning up their own goddamn mess.

I gotta say this war has led me to believe that 95% of military spending in the US just goes to defense contractor shareholders and nothing else. Like what do you mean the US just decommissioned its only mine defusing boats in the gulf and there’s no replacements?

Sen. Rick Scott in 2022: “The buck stops with one person. Joe Biden made your gas prices go up. He did it. He actually did it.”
Scott today, 14 months after Trump took over: "Unfortunately, [gasoline] prices are gonna be up for a while."

For those keeping score at home:

I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week.

I know several ship captains with Master Unlimited licenses who have piloted the largest vessels on the oceans and they are—to the man—the most risk-adverse people on Earth. They are responsible for dozens of lives and hundreds of millions in assets. 0% chance any sail through Hormuz for a while.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Opinion | Who’s winning the U.S.-Iran war? Russia and China. Oil disruption benefits Russia, as does less U.S. aid for Ukraine. And Iran distracts from China.

While Trump has been bombing various countries, imposing tariffs, discouraging foreign students from coming to America, and cutting research funding, China has been making massive investments designed to dominate the industries of the future. wapo.st/4ui9QzJ

The correction fails to air the real footage or inform viewers what was different about it. It claims the error was inadvertent and pretends to honor the fallen service members, but at the end of the day Fox still doesn’t show or describe how they came home to spare Trump from its viewers’ scrutiny.
