1. This transcript from Uber's general counsel is incredible. It is a polite version of a mafia threat to California's legislature.
2. First @tonywest argues that the newly passed law doesn't encompass Uber drivers. It is simply codifying a California Supreme Court decision that imposes a test on whether someone is an independent contractor or an employee.
@tonywest 3. West is correct that it does codify that Supreme Court decision. But he says that the test that decision imposes doesn't include Uber drivers, and links to three 'rulings' that validate his claim. Two are arbitration decisions!

New York City surrenders on (unconstitutional) gun control law to avoid SCOTUS review hotair.com/archives/jazz-…
New York City has voluntarily withdrawn one aspect of its gun control laws. This was done in an effort to stop the Supreme Court from hearing the case of New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. City of New York.
The law in question forbids residents with valid gun permits from transporting their firearms virtually anywhere outside their home.

@Clara_Resists @TheLoyalO @globaljourn Russia murders journalists & dissidents, including murders in Ukraine. Recently we heard about Babchenko who managed to escape, but there are other journalists who aren't so lucky. /1
@Clara_Resists @TheLoyalO @globaljourn My friend, Alexander Shchetinin (Sasha), founded a news agency for Russia, but later broke ties and re-registered it as Ukrainian business.
Russian special services couldn't forgive him for taking a large news agency away and exposing Russian agents of influence in Ukraine. /2
@Clara_Resists @TheLoyalO @globaljourn Sasha showed Ukraine as a victim of Russian aggression and worked against Russian propaganda. We worked together. He was honest, brave and my good friend.
In August 2016, Sasha was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in his Kiev apartment. /3
