I used to say if people saw Trump do 10,000 bad things, him doing 10,001 bad things wouldn’t change their minds, but maybe so?

Trump voter reacts to Trump's post depicting himself as Jesus: "That's a disgrace. I'm very upset about that. I mean, how egotistical can you possibly be? I'm ashamed that he would actually do that. The man I voted for and trust."

1. If approved by the Court, this class action settlement with John Deere will be a catastrophe for farmers and for the broader right-to-repair movement.
It will sacrifice the legal rights of hundreds of thousands of farmers for a pittance in damages and a mandate for John Deere to provide repair materials that is riddled with loopholes and, I believe, will ultimately accomplish nothing.
For starters, let’s talk about the damages. The repair restrictions by John Deere have been estimated to cost farmers $4.2 billion per year. This lawsuit priginally sought damages suffered by farmers as a result of John Deere’s illegal conduct over the FIVE years before the date of suit. That’s an estimated $21 billion in damages. This settlement gets farmers just $99 million — before attorneys fees are taken out. You do the math.
But what makes this settlement truly abhorrent is that it purports to solve the right-to-repair problem, when in reality it gives John Deere MULTIPLE LOOPHOLES through which to keep infringing on farmers’ rights to repair their own equipment and profit from that infringement *at the exact same scale* it’s doing so right now. Let’s talk about it.
Here are just five of those loopholes.🧵

John Deere has to pay farmers $99 million to resolve a class action right-to-repair lawsuit. The company will also provide farmers with access to repair materials for 10 years.

@LukewSavage Kant says that we experience the sublime when we are confronted with someone so awesome it overwhelms, yet through reason we can consider even infinity as a whole thus overcome it.
Surely this the feeling a young person moving the First Contact box in and out of the light.

It’s funny how often democrats don’t vote for who they like but who they think other people will like, and then are surprised when other people don’t like them

@d_h_sanders Umm... OK? I am happy to admit that the Trump administration is not doing anything to protect anti-war protestors. It is not using any powers coercive or suggestive to support these protestors.

According to the rules about police response to protests established during the Biden administration you must blame Donald Trump for the NYPD’s actions

Referring to union membership as a "temporary phenomenon" is really going out of your way to obscure the decades-long full court press by industry and politicians to kill unions. This wasn't just some natural occurrence.

Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon. As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation. I’ve never seen something like this.
