Check In 6 June

[tanaqui]

The comm's been a bit busier over the last month. I'm not sure that's entirely a good thing, in that it means there are issues and actions people need to raise — but it's great to have these things brought to the comm when they do exist. So a big thank you to everyone who's posted, in the last month or in the past.

Here are the posts since the last check in:

Protecting Thacker Pass
CA Only: Sticking It To Tech With SB 331
Federally Subsidized Internet Service
US Politics: Immigration Issues
End Sub-minimum Wages For People With Disabilities

Don't be shy of making your own posts about any issues and actions you think the comm should know about, or dropping some information into a comment to our sticky post if you'd like the mods to do it.

Meanwhile, use our poll (behind the cut) to tell us what you've been doing in the last few weeks and tell us in comments what you plan to do next.

A lot has been going on for me lately, all good stuff. But I just came across something which is worthy of posting. I'm busy but will hopefully get to it this week. I've been wondering a lot lately though, about how it is that a lot of politicians can be so heartless especially now that there is so much turmoil in the world?
