Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•TSA allowing passengers to keep shoes on14·2 days agoOverall, the TSA is unnecessary because it has been shown over and over again that it is ineffective at stopping terrorism (bombing, hijacking, etc.).
It may provide some peace of mind for the general public but that is all.

I love this sentence. Speak truth to power.

Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto AskBeehaw@beehaw.org•How Would The World Look Like Without Any News Organizations?4·11 days agoI am no expert and can only make a few guesses here based on my experience in the USA.
Generally speaking, most corporate billionaire owned news organizations are just propaganda machines spewing misinformation (lies) in order to benefit themselves and fuck every one else.
However, there are quit a bit of independent media outlets (“…community-based, member- and audience-supported, nonprofit, not-for-profit, cooperative, and social justice oriented news publications, primarily based in the United States and Canada.”). These have become essential for millions of people to stay informed since the corporate slop isn’t working.
In brief, having news organizations that serve to inform the public is incredibly useful and should be maintained. It is a public service that has enormous benefits such as preserving our democracy.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgMto Politics@beehaw.org•She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.12·12 days agoThe fact that more people signed sworn affidavits that they voted for Harris than tallied votes was enough for a judge to move to discovery makes this tonally different from the 2020 challenges that all failed.
I agree and I will be following the court case(s).
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgMto Politics@beehaw.org•She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines.

Good.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•US supreme court limits judges’ power on nationwide injunctions in apparent win for Trump5·13 days ago“The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort.”
- Justice Sotomayor, dissenting
It will be left up to us (the people) as it always has.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•US supreme court limits judges’ power on nationwide injunctions in apparent win for Trump2·13 days ago…we cannot rely on the rule of law, nor constitutional protections.
Come again? Most of us are relying on these things.
If you are saying that there is no 100% guarantee, then of course I agree.
Chris Remington@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•US supreme court limits judges’ power on nationwide injunctions in apparent win for Trump2·13 days agoDemocracy sure was fun while it lasted.
Why do you say that? You believe that this one ruling has dissolved all democracy in the USA? If so, then please explain.
I hope you have a great time.
