  • this is good, and its outcome will have significant implications for the NLRB (and agencies like it generally):

    The outcome of this legal battle has significant implications beyond the NLRB. It raises concerns about the broader threat to independent regulatory agencies and the precedent it could set for future administrations. While partisan shifts in agency leadership are normal, removing a duly confirmed Board Member in direct violation of the law is unprecedented and jeopardizes the stability of the NLRB’s mission to uphold workers’ rights.

Paris and Brussels introduced a default speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour in 2021, Lyons in 2022 and Bologna in early 2024, with Milan and Parma planning to follow suit this year. Beyond the EU, Wales introduced a 20 mph limit as the default for all residential roads in September 2023, and a couple of US cities, like Portland, have begun reducing their residential speed limit to 20 mph.

    when you call them racist and imply they’re segregationist for having their preference, yes, that is not allowed. that’s needlessly aggressive and needlessly sectarian—and speaking personally, “having a preference for more stripes on a flag that represent marginalized communities is racist and like segregation” is just such an overstatement of the point (that i otherwise agree with, for the record—i am not a fan of the progress flag) being made that it verges into being unserious.
