For god’s sake if you aren’t Kashmiri please PLEASE talk about Kashmir. Kashmiris who are in Kashmir are facing vast media blackouts and have no means of digitally protesting this, nor do we have any idea what’s going on on ground. If you want to show solidarity…protest and talk, speak up
one incredibly scary fact from the article — public protest in response to this has been banned, and (most? all?) schools and colleges in jammu & kashmir are indefinitely shut down
All schools are shut down along with internet, telephone, radio, and television service.
From the New York Times, August 9, 2019: “These pictures are some of the first images to emerge, taken by Indian photographers who managed to work around the communication blockade and the miles of razor wire to take and publish their images.“
It’s not in an employment-at-will state. You can be fired at any time for any reason as long as it can’t be prooven to be because of discrimination against a federally protected status, or some bullshit wording like that.
It most definitely is illegal in at will states. The prohibition falls under ‘retaliation’ which covers everything from being fired for refusing to go on a date with your boss, to being fired for wanting to unionize.
It’s very explicitly illegal in the US at the federal level (and therefore in all 50 states) to fire someone for ANYTHING related to an attempt to join or start a union. Seriously. It’s also illegal to explicitly tell your employees not to unionize, and to even threaten retaliation. Which means every single employee of that company should be talking to that lawyer right now to sue their boss for every last penny he owns. Or at least get him super-mega-awful fined.
You know, it’s not often that you see every labor law lawyer in the tri-state area reach climax spontaneously and simultaneously, but damn here we are.

I talk about (Amazon’s taxes) all of the time… And then I wonder why The Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, who owns Amazon, doesn’t write particularly good articles about me. I don’t know why.
Employees of the Post were put out by Sanders’s comments. They insisted they hold no ill will against him for regularly bashing the man who writes their checks as one of earth’s most obnoxious plutocrats, and moreover that Sanders is wrong to make the media a “boogeyman” the way he’s turned “billionaires and corporations” into boogeymen. This “doesn’t add up,” noted the Post, going so far as to put the term “corporate media” in quotation marks, as if it were a mythical creature.
The Post in 2017 asked readers how Democrats would “cope” with the Kremlin backing Bernie Sanders with “dirty tricks” in 2020. In April of this year it described the Sanders campaign as a Russian plot to help elect Donald Trump. They’ve run multiple stories about his “$575,000 lake house,” ripping his “socialist hankering” for real estate. “From each according to his ability,” the paper quipped, “to each according to his need for lakefront property…
Apart from being described as a faux-Leninist Russian stooge who wants to elect Trump and mass-release dangerous criminals, what does Sanders have to complain about?
After Bernie’s Wolfeboro speech, other media outlets let out a group howl. CNN called his attack “ridiculous” and “no different from what Trump does.” CBS said Bernie “echoes Trump” in going after the media.
The news media is now loathed in the same way banks, tobacco companies, and health insurance companies are, and it refuses to understand this. Mistakes like WMDs are a problem, but the media’s biggest issue is exactly its bubble-ness, and clubby inability to respond to criticism in any way except to denounce it as misinformation and error. Equating all criticism of media with Trumpism is pouring gasoline on the fire.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
