@governorferguson.bsky.social and OFM have been warned about how on edge the engineers and Eagle Harbor ferry maintenance workers are with their poor treatment in bargaining and salary setting. While they're not legally allowed to strike, they can make themselves heard.

It seems unlikely that a BBC editor who e.g. made a film that “accidentally” accused Tory staff of screaming “Hitler was right” at colleagues and later quietly clarified this wasn’t correct, in an election year, would ever work in current affairs again.
Haha. The new BBC head of news is the person who was editor of Newsnight during the Jeremy Corbyn years. The rightward shift continues.

the other thing is that this is a totally incoherent and arbitrary standard for deciding who has rights and who doesn't. you could say the same, for instance, of alito's vision of inviolate "religious liberty" or expansive gun rights.

Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade.
Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

It’s interesting how the standard bearer for the party whose message used to be “Democrats suck because they just buy votes by giving people free stuff” has decided the closing message for the midterms will just be “how many more checks do we have to send you in order to earn your vote?”
