This sound interesting. #ChrisHedges talks to Yasha Levine about how the internet, from its inception, was created as a tool of mass surveillance.

" wants businesses to run services ‘as much as possible’"

is going to have First Class Parcel Post (if not all mail) taken over by and

OK: don't know about urban ZIP codes, but in the rural (10K residents) ZIP code I live in, the is already doing last mile delivery for

An Amazon truck drops off Amazon Prime parcels at the PO back door and the parcels are carted inside and sorted into delivery routes carried out by USPS drivers

Big problem is, most USPS drivers will not leave their trucks to deliver to front doors - all Prime parcels are dropped atop the street-side mail box stands

But I don't have street mail delivery so I have to get into my car, drive to the Post Office, park, wait in line to get up to the counter, only to be handed a Prime order that UPS would have dropped on my doormat two days earlier

The floodgates are open for #corporations to push forward with deep-sea mining projects. The potential for widespread environmental destruction is overwhelming, and it’s happening now.

💥 What can you do?💥

Share this information, spread the word so more people understand what’s at stake!

Support policies and organizations pushing for tighter international regulations on deep-sea mining.

Companies typically cannot mine the seabed beyond national jurisdictions without ISA approval. But here's the key: TMC is trying to bypass this system by applying for permits under an old US mining law, even though the seabed they want to mine is far outside US territory.

Buy well-sourced (e.g. Terra Delyssa) 1st/cold-pressed, extra-virgin canola, olive oils ... not margarine, nor this toxic, lifeless crap

CBCSocial media suggests seed oils — like canola — are bad for you. More science is saying otherwise | CBC NewsThere's a sizzling debate on social media over seed oils, with some people adamantly claiming they are unhealthy. But new research, which expands on previous studies in this area, finds that they could reduce your risk of an early death.

"The court’s #liberal members... were unpersuaded by Kennedy’s reasoning... criticized the #conservative majority for its dangerous nonchalance toward the corrosive effects of #corruption...

Stevens’s dissent... carries even greater weight w/the benefit of hindsight. He described Kennedy’s majority opinion as “a rejection of the common sense of the #American people, who have recognized a need to prevent #corporations from undermining self-government"

Text from article(edited for length): Musk is not technically a corporation, of course, and the legal mechanisms that he used to influence the 2024 election would come from follow-up rulings after Citizens United. But its civic reasoning still holds true for the present crisis. Stevens... warned that corporate interests did not operate like normal political actors. “Corporations, as a class, tend to be ... more directly affected by tax and appropriations measures that receive little public scrutiny; they also have vastly more money with which to try to buy access and votes,” he explained. ...“Business corporations must engage the political process in instrumental terms if they are to maximize shareholder value,” Steven wrote. “The unparalleled resources, professional lobbyists, and single-minded focus they bring to this effort, I believed, make quid pro quo corruption and its appearance inherently more likely when they (or their conduits or trade groups) spend unrestricted sums on elections.” Stevens’s dissent was praised at the time, but it carries even greater weight with the benefit of hindsight. He described Kennedy’s majority opinion as “a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt.”
