Yeah, if you are not outraged then you are not paying attention.
Under the approach Thomas lays out in his Sackett concurrence, the federal ban on child labor is unconstitutional. So is the minimum wage, federal laws protecting the right to unionize, bans on workplace discrimination, and nearly all other regulation of the workplace. Thomas’s approach endangers countless laws governing private business, from rules requiring health insurers to cover people with preexisting conditions to the ban on whites-only lunch counters. And even that is underselling just how much law would be snuffed out if Thomas’s approach took hold.
Conservatives should be just as outraged by this opinion as progressives, libertarians, etcetera.
I am not against kids working jobs prior to sixteen as many do (via lemonade stands, selling cookies, mowing yards, etcetera). But dangerous jobs should always be restricted, especially those involving potentially dangerous chemicals.
Despite arguably being the second most hated politician in America, it seems Mighty Joe Biden’s fortunes of being elected remain high due to two crucial facts pointed out by two Republican campaign teams.

DeSantis’s team believes that 30 to 40 percent of Republicans are going to vote for Trump no matter what, according to people who’ve spoken to them, our…

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. (King David, Psalms 27:14)
Words of encouragement that I needed to read this morning.
So @statedept does not want Americans 🇺🇸 traveling to Russia 🇷🇺 for all of the obvious reasons. I would not be surprised if China 🇨🇳 is added to that list in the next couple of years.
So I arrived in Singapore 🇸🇬 last night (it’s still early morning here as I woke up) & my first impressions about this country is it reminds me of a mixture of New York City, Atlanta & Dubai.
While the tiny slice of airport I experienced puts Singapore 🇸🇬 in a class of its own, after briefly traveling through the city, this appears to be just like any other city, minus the rowdy night life that one often witnesses in every city.
In a few hours I will head out to breakfast, but overall my first day in Singapore is more or less uneventfully calm.

Meet the Four Artemis Astronauts Who Will Fly Around the Moon
Today, we revealed the four astronauts who will fly around the Moon during the Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch in 2024. Get to know them:
Christina Koch
Meet the first member of our Artemis II crew: mission specialist Christina Koch. Koch visited the International Space Station in 2019, where she participated in the first all-woman spacewalk with Jessica Meir. She began her NASA career as an electrical engineer at Goddard Space Flight Center.
Jeremy Hansen
Representing the Canadian Space Agency is Jeremy Hansen from London, Ontario. Col. Hansen was a fighter pilot with Canadian Armed Forces before joining the Canadian Space Agency, and currently works with NASA on astronaut training and mission operations. This will be Col. Hansen’s first mission in space.
Victor Glover
Victor Glover is our Artemis II pilot. Glover is part of our 2013 class of NASA astronauts and was the pilot for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission. He’s logged 3,000 flight hours in more than 40 different aircraft.
Reid Wiseman
…and rounding out our Artemis II crew: mission commander Reid Wiseman. Wiseman lived and worked aboard the International Space Station as a flight engineer in 2014. He also commanded the undersea research mission NEEMO21, and most recently served as Chief of the NASA astronauts.

The difference between @TwitterBlue & @Tumblr checkmarks is that Tumblr admits how vain it is & celebrates that fact! The checkmarks on @Twitter are useless if you do not verify the account. This is why @instagram (via Meta Verified) is valuable, despite offering less features. I wonder if @youtube will consider something similar‽ Hmm…
I will let @mosseri explain why Instagram verification is actually verification.
Due to numerous hack attempts over the years, I decided it was wise to subscribe to @instagram verified (officially meta-verified) in order to provide greater security for my Instagram account (primarily to access human friendly customer service).
Even though I am more active on Pixelfed, many of my friends (especially continental & diaspora Africans) have become active on Instagram due to the slow implosion of Twitter.
It’s $14.99 per month, & currently available via iPhone & Android phones. Accessible customer service was the primary selling point to me which is useful if your account is compromised (I have seen this happen to others).
I previously subscribed to Twitter Blue, but it is not the money due to how buggy the app is nowadays (timeline, ads, mentions, etcetera).
