Three seats on the new commission would be reserved for law enforcement. Baker is also seeking to designate one of them for a labor official without disrupting the panel’s 6-3 balance, which Baker described as a first-of-its-kind composition for a police certification commission.https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/12/10/metro/baker-sends-police-bill-back-legislature-asking-changes/
The bill also bars any public agency from using facial recognition technology — except for the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Police could then request, in writing, the Registry run a search in cases of an emergency (such as a terrorist attack) or to execute a search warrant in cases of violent felonies.
Baker said he opposes that measure limiting police’s access to such technology, writing to lawmakers that it “ignores the important role it can play in solving crime.”

By Fenderputty Go To PostHome prices are confusing as fuck right nowi am no economic man but if i had to guess landlords are trying to compensate having to evict people without jobs and not as much new tenants by raising the prices on the people that can afford a place
The sheriff's visit surprised Cowley because he'd provided the county court with documentation required under the federal eviction moratorium issued in September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The ban aimed to let renters affected by Covid stay in their homes, even if they couldn’t pay their landlords.America AND OH CANADA
But Patricia Kinsey, the only judge hearing eviction cases in Escambia County, where Pensacola sits, ordered Cowley out of his home, documents show. Kinsey sided with a lawyer for Cowley's landlord, a big Canadian company that owns 19,000 rental units in North America, who’d argued that the CDC order was unconstitutional. Agreeing with the landlord’s lawyer, Kinsey ruled that the CDC moratorium represented an "unlawful taking" by the U.S. government of landlords’ private property — rental income.
In a new interview, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told The Intercept’s Jeremy Scahill that Democrats need fresh leadership. Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should go, she said. The two Democratic leaders and their allies have neglected any “real grooming of a next generation of leadership,” she continued, and the party is now weaker than it should be. “A lot of this is not just about [Pelosi and Schumer], but also about the structural shifts that these two personalities have led in their time in leadership,” she added. With power concentrated in the leadership classes of both parties, she said, individual members have less influence, and less incentive to stay in Congress.Spot on

Dutch prosecutors have confirmed that Donald Trump’s Twitter account was hacked in October despite denials from Washington and the company, but said the “ethical hacker” would not face charges.lol
The hacker, named as Victor Gevers, broke into Trump’s account @realDonaldTrump on 16 October by guessing the US president’s password, Dutch media reports said.
Both the White House and Twitter strenuously denied reports that the account had been hacked.
Gevers, 44, disclosed the hack immediately, saying the password he guessed was “maga2020!”, referring to the Trump slogan “Make America Great Again”.
The public prosecutor’s office (Openbaar Ministerie) said: “We believe the hacker has actually penetrated Trump’s Twitter account, but has met the criteria that have been developed in case law to go free as an ethical hacker.”

441,000 have also been asked for more information to avoid having to repay it.
By diehard Go To PostIf you are talking about the $2000 CAD unemployment benefit , that ended.There is a new one that is running until September 2021 at least. That one only kicks in if you don’t qualify for the new EI program, which gives you the same amount with the only difference being the qualifications for it. But yeah, it’s a benefit for the unemployed or those who can’t find a job during COVID-19, have seen their hours significantly cut, or are taking care of loved ones who are vulnerable. There was a student benefit too during the summer that was around $1200 for 4 months to all students.

She's right about one thing, there has seemingly been a failure of education for some in this country.
That must have been a really progressive school because I wasn't taught anything about racism/sexism at my local state school in the 90's/00's

(Reuters) - Chinese drone giant SZ DJI Technology Co is being added to the U.S. government's economic blacklist, a senior Commerce official told reporters on a conference call Friday.https://www.businessinsider.com/us-adding-chinese-drone-company-dji-to-economic-blacklist-official-2020-12
Reuters reported earlier that dozens of Chinese companies are being added to the so-called entity list, including the country's top chipmaker, SMIC. The restrictions will take effect at 11:15 a.m. EST, when the list of companies being added is published, the official said. A representative for DJI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“If we take the senate you won’t even be able to have the fed leverage monetary policy”
These fucking dudes are pure evil
Press conference right now by Democratic leadership telling the nation that the bill has been stalled because of Toomey and his ridiculous request that have nothing to do with this bill. Have his office number in big bold letters and tell the nation to call and ask him to reconsider. Tell the nation compromises have been made and money in their pockets are on hold because of this man. Mention the stock market wants a stimulus as well because why not. Put his ass on blast.

Is there some latent feeling that if you have struggled then others shouldn't have it easy?

They don't trust the government at low levels so they're warped on their thinking at high level. The people who are against the stimulus from their side of the fence have just as many things to be pissed off about and aim that frustration at the house. Shit like military spending and crypto sustainability options in previous bill attempts had them livid for example
