Reporter tracks down Jan. 6 protester who told her to ‘run’
  • She says Jan 6 was about "love" directly in the face of a woman whose life she previously threatened on that day. But she has to say it, because that's what the cult told her last.

    "Nothing done wrong at all," Trump said.

    "There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns.

    "And when I say we, these are people that walked down - this was a tiny percentage of the overall which nobody sees and nobody, nobody shows. But that was a day of love."

    These individuals need deprogrammers, not debate.

    'It's like a cage': Foreign workers who quit Canadian Tire speak out about feeling trapped by work permits

    Closed work permits are part of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program, empowering exploitative bosses across the country. This story focuses on one franchise owner, but juxtaposes one worker who was able to get an open permit with another who's stuck in his precarious situation.

    Reporter tracks down Jan. 6 protester who told her to ‘run’

    >On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

    Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

    Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia
  • Anyone else think this is a direct reaction to Dave Bautista calling him a whiny little bitch? Masculinity by proxy/osmosis??? The fuck is this...

    "Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,” Trump said. “This is a guy that was all man.” [...]

    “When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

  • Voting Rights Confusion Keeps Formerly Incarcerated People from Casting Ballots, Even when they’re eligible to vote
  • Whole thing was a good read. Thanks for linking it.

    So there are eligible voters in the USA literally afraid to try voting in case they're jailed for it. It's not just confusion.

    Fear also drives reluctance. In the face of confusing eligibility regulations, people who are trying to put a criminal conviction behind them often don’t want to risk making a mistake that could send them back to prison. In Florida, several people faced that exact possibility in 2022, after an office set up by Gov. Ron DeSantis began arresting voters who allegedly cast ballots while ineligible to do so.

    ...

    For example, in Nebraska, the bill legislators passed this year changed state law to allow anyone with a felony conviction to register to vote upon completion of their sentence. This modified a 2005 law that automatically restored voting rights for people with felony convictions but required a two-year waiting period upon completion of a sentence.

    But then a non-binding opinion by Attorney General Mike Hilgers suggested that not only this year’s law but also the prior 2005 law were unconstitutional, creating a significant cloud of uncertainty for impacted people until this week’s state Supreme Court ruling.

    “We were getting lots of calls from people, ‘I’m not going to bother. It worries me too much, and I’m not going to go back to prison,’” said Smith, with Civic Nebraska.
