Ranvier , to U.S. News in The Red State Brain Drain Isn’t Coming. It’s Happening Right Now.

Excellent article. I personally know multiple doctors who have taken significant pay cuts, uprooted everything, and moved across the country to escape red state politics just as the article reports. Doctors just want to treat patients as well as possible, not be thrown in jail for practicing good medicine.

The only silver lining I can find is a bit selfish, but it’s really nice that the trans population of MN is growing explosively. Can’t even leave the house in the metro without seeing other GNC folks.

Putting aside the content, this was a fantastically well written article. It was long but I kept reading because it told such a tale.

And, the inline sources were, generally, actual sources like statistics and research articles. I detest articles that just link to other news sources - I want the source of truth, not to play telephone. So good on the author for avoiding that trend!

This is an excellent article, if you don’t have the time to read there’s also a 40 minute recording!

Always has been. Just had enough checks to stop him the first time. Now he's got allies planning an American Night of the Long Knives for 1/20/2025.

Omega_Haxors , (edited ) to Politics in Here Are All the Democrats Who Voted for the “Anti-Zionism Is Antisemitism” Bill

Conflating Zionism and Judaism is literally antisemitism, and now 95 Democrats are voting to make saying otherwise against the law.

People got mad when I called them social fascists, now here they are trying to institute modern day nazism. It’s beyond unacceptable.

Precisely how they like it. Intellectuals drive change which is anathema to the party of stagnation.

He has lost it.

flta OP , to Politics in [Opinion] Trump Goes Full Deranged, Suggests Charging People He Doesn’t Like With Treason

Donald Trump went over the edge over the weekend and began calling for his detractors to be prosecuted or even put to death.

“They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason,’” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday night.

“I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States … the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events,” he said. “They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!”

Trump’s threat to the news media was actually his second attempt to menace detractors this past weekend alone. On Friday, he slammed Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, suggesting that perhaps he also committed treason.

“This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States,” Trump said on Truth Social. “This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!”

Donald Trump is a danger to society. If you haven’t already, join your city/county’s Democratic club/caucus and organize locally to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2024.

I keep wondering when I am going to see in the US what I saw in some very hot climates in the world. Construction going on at night.

DarkSpectrum , to Work Reform in Outdoor Workers Are Climate Victims

Heat is one of the reasons I decided not to stay in the conservation industry. It could be 45°C out and my boss would still have me suit up and march out to spray weeds. I would come home drenched head to toe in sweat and it’s only going to get worse. Outdoor labour jobs need regulations to protect them from unsafe working conditions caused by the environment.

Meanwhile Texas is removing laws that require water breaks for construction workers.

Warehouse work too, last week was brutal. No AC just fans blowing hot and humid air around.
