    Barrett joins liberal justices on Trump ballot ban ruling going too far
    https://thehill.com/homenews/4506721-barrett-liberal-justices-supreme-court-trump-ballot-ban/
    Former President Trump pulled out an unanimous victory at the Supreme Court on Monday in his historic ballot ban case that invoked the 14th Amendment, but a 5-4 division among the justices emerged beneath the surface — joined by one of his own nominees. Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the court’s three liberals criticized their five conservative colleagues for going further than they needed to in resolving Trump’s case by also determining that the only way for the 14th Amendment to be enforced is through a statute by Congress. “This suit was brought by Colorado voters under state law in state court. It does not require us to address the complicated question whether federal legislation is the exclusive vehicle through which Section 3 can be enforced,” Barrett, Trump’s last appointee to the high court, wrote in a concurring opinion.

    Joe Biden’s Last Campaign
    https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/03/11/joe-bidens-last-campaign
    Trailing Trump in polls and facing doubts about his age, the President voices defiant confidence in his prospects for reëlection. Unsurprisingly, Biden’s aides reject the idea that the White House is insular or dismissive of reality. Zients, who succeeded Ron Klain as chief of staff last year, pointed to Biden’s reputation for soliciting opinions from critics. “Just the other day, he picked up the phone and called Larry Summers,” Zients said. As outreach goes, it was relatively safe; Summers, despite his critical comments, is a longtime adviser to Presidents. Biden’s other occasional calls range from the columnist Thomas Friedman to the Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. “That’s how you pressure-test decisions,” Zients said.

    Outdoor Encampments — Consequence Forum
    https://www.consequenceforum.org/deterrence-policies/outdoor-encampments
    In September of 2021, local Haitian-American leaders and members of Alliance San Diego asked me to join them in their trip to the Border Patrol’s Open Air Detention Site (OADS) in Del Rio, Texas. They asked because Texas authorities had begun enforcing federal immigration laws with a flare of old southern brutality, and aside from being a migrant rights activist, I knew both the Border Patrol as a former agent and the ways of southern cops and sundown towns as I grew up in Alabama. My role would be limited to providing them with guidance regarding the Border Patrol’s culture and protocols and any safety issues that might arise from their operations.

    Burnt Offerings | Erik Baker
    https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/burnt-offerings/
    Since Aaron Bushnell’s death by self-immolation this week in protest of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, his detractors have warned about the risk of “contagion,” suggesting that his protest will encourage imitators (who, they imply, share his alleged mental instability). There may or may not be additional self-immolators before the slaughter comes to an end, just as Bushnell was preceded by a woman, yet to be identified publicly, who burned herself to death outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta in December. But the purpose of lighting yourself on fire is not to encourage other people to light themselves on fire. It is to scream to the world that you could find no alternative, and in that respect it is a challenge to the rest of us to prove with our own freedom that there are other ways to meaningfully resist a society whose cruelty has become intolerable.

    Behind F1's Velvet Curtain
    https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/behind-f1-s-velvet-curtain/ar-BB1jaZRu
    Most of us have the distinct pleasure of going throughout our lives bereft of the physical presence of those who rule over us. Were we peasants instead of spreadsheet jockeys, warehouse workers, and baristas, we would toil in our fields in the shadow of some overbearing castle from which the lord or his steward would ride down on his thunderous charger demanding our fealty and our tithes. Now, though, the real high end of the income inequality curve—the 0.01 percenters—remains elusive. To their great advantage, they can buy their way out of public life. However, if you want to catch a glimpse of them, all you need to do is attend a single day of Formula 1 racing.

    Google cuts team of contractors who went on strike
    https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/1/24087634/google-youtube-music-alphabet-union-strike-contractors
    A union representing contractors for YouTube Music claims that Google cut the workers’ contract after they went on a prolonged strike. The Alphabet Workers Union-CWA, which represents the contractors, said the team consisted of moderators employed by Google contractor Cognizant in Austin, Texas, that was responsible for approving music content for YouTube Music. Google previously argued that it doesn’t have to negotiate with the workers since they are not Google employees. However, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled in March 2023 that because Google controlled benefits, hours of work, and the direction of the work of the contractors, it counted as a partial employer. The company appealed, and the NLRB upheld its ruling in January of this year. Google can appeal to federal court.

    The piñata finally burst. Starbucks corporate heads agreed Tuesday to negotiate for real with the union and allow workers to organize. “I was in shock initially, and definitely some disbelief,” said Michelle Eisen, who works at the first Buffalo store that unionized with Starbucks Workers United in 2021. As she learned more, she said, she came to believe the victory is real.
