Blue Jays to honour the moment Joe Carter chose a Rogers phone plan

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.thebeaverton.com/2026/02/blue-jays-to-honour-the-moment-joe-carter-chose-a-rogers-phone-plan/

Some of the Trump administration’s anti-worker moves included

♦️rescinding a Biden-era executive order that raised the minimum wage for federal workers,

♦️rolling back laws prohibiting workplace discrimination,

♦️pulling out of an international agreement that would have imposed a minimum tax on corporations,

♦️and killing dozens of workplace safety rules.

Trump’s most vicious moves targeted immigrant workers,
many of whom have been terrorized by the unrelenting barrage of ICE raids throughout their communities and workplaces

Things may become even more dire in 2026, as many Trump appointees are poised to wield power.

💥#Wayne #Palmer, a coal industry executive, will serve as the assistant secretary of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

💥#David #Keeling will head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

💥Keeling previously oversaw health and safety protocols at Amazon and UPS,
and the companies collectively racked up over 300 workplace safety citations and $2 million in OSHA fines while he was in charge.

💥#Andrew #Rogers, a former attorney at the anti-union law firm Littler Mendelson, will serve as the next administrator of the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division.

🔥Additionally, Trump’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) may soon begin deciding cases.

💥Upon arriving in the White House, Trump illegally fired board member Gwynne Wilcox, depriving the agency of the necessary quorum of at least three members.

💥The board also paused all active investigations, including two dozen inquiries into companies owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk.

💥In July, Trump finally selected two new members:
#James #Murphy, who has spent many years as counsel to Republican NLRB members,
💥and #Scott #Mayer, who currently serves as the chief labor counsel for Boeing and formerly worked for the anti-union law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.

💥In February, NLRB Acting General Counsel #William #Cowen rescinded more than two dozen Biden-era General Counsel memos addressing issues such as the electronic monitoring of workers and the employment status of college athletes.

🔥If its quorum is reestablished, the board is expected to take these efforts a step further and overturn Biden-era rulings.
💥These include the ban on “captive audience” meetings, in which employers effectively force workers to sit through anti-union propaganda
💥and the 2023 Cemex case decision, which determined that, if a majority of workers sign union affiliation cards, employers have to either recognize the union or hold an election within two weeks.

❌“There is a very strong likelihood that the #NLRB will achieve quorum in the new year and begin a more aggressive attack on workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain,”
Margaret Poydock, a senior policy analyst at EPI, told Truthout.

🆘“President Trump is the largest union buster in U.S. history, and his interference with the independence of the NLRB will result in the further weakening of our nation’s labor laws.”

Cellular Starlink od SpaceX działa już na Apple Watchach. Na razie w dwóch krajach

To, co do tej pory było jedynie technologiczną obietnicą, właśnie stało się faktem.

Zgodnie z najnowszymi doniesieniami, usługa Cellular Starlink od SpaceX jest już dostępna dla użytkowników najnowszych zegarków Apple Watch w Kanadzie i Japonii. Pozwala to na łączenie się zegarka bezpośrednio z satelitami Starlink w miejscach bez absolutnie żadnego zasięgu sieci komórkowej.

BREAKING: SpaceX’s Cellular Starlink now works on Apple Watches in Canada and Japan, letting you connect directly to satellites even when outside mobile coverage.

Partnering with Rogers in Canada & KDDI au in Japan, the service supports Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3. pic.twitter.com/fVaxXm1kFC

— DogeDesigner (@cb_doge) November 10, 2025

Partnerami wdrożenia są dwaj duzi operatorzy komórkowi: Rogers w Kanadzie oraz KDDI (au) w Japonii.

Usługa jest kompatybilna z najnowszą linią zegarków Apple z 2025 roku, czyli modelami:

• Apple Watch Series 11
• Apple Watch SE 3
• Apple Watch Ultra 3

Co ważne, T-Mobile w USA, mimo że ma usługę Starlink, jeszcze nie potwierdził wsparcia dla tych konkretnych modeli zegarków.

To nie jest Alarmowe SOS od Apple

Co kluczowe, nie jest to ta sama funkcja, którą Apple wprowadziło w 2022 roku. Dotychczasowe Alarmowe SOS (dostępne w serii Ultra) łączy się z satelitami firmy Globalstar i służy wyłącznie do wzywania pomocy.

Nowa usługa to „carrier-provided satellite feature” (funkcja satelitarna dostarczana przez operatora), co potwierdza nawet zaktualizowany dokument wsparcia technicznego Apple. W tym przypadku operatorem satelitarnym jest SpaceX, a usługa jest znacznie potężniejsza.

Według japońskiego operatora KDDI, funkcja ta pozwala nie tylko na alarmowe wezwania, ale także na wysyłanie i odbieranie wiadomości tekstowych oraz udostępnianie swojej lokalizacji. W Kanadzie operator Rogers udostępnił usługę w formie darmowej bety dla wszystkich swoich klientów posiadających kompatybilne zegarki.

In September,
the day after the debate between Harris and Trump,
I spoke again with the lobbyist #Ed #Rogers.

“You know, I’m a Trump voter, a Trump donor,” he said,
“but I think Harris is going to win.”

Another Republican told me that, after Trump’s poor debate performance,
he had seen similar hand-wringing from other major donors:

“Can I stomach giving money to this guy and he keeps blowing it?”

In at least one notable case,
Harris managed to regain a major donor who had defected to Trump,
the Silicon Valley venture capitalist
#Ben #Horowitz.

Horowitz and his business partner, #Marc #Andreessen, who are both longtime Democratic givers,
had stunned the tech world in July by endorsing the ex-President,
citing, in part, Trump’s newfound support for the crypto industry.

But, in October, Horowitz announced that he and his wife planned to make a “significant donation” to Harris,
saying that, though the Biden Administration had been
“exceptionally destructive on tech policy,”
he had spoken personally with Harris, a friend from California,
and was “hopeful” that she would take a different approach.

“There was no real engagement by the Biden world with the business community,”
a Democratic donor who has spoken with the Vice-President told me.

“Harris has been very intentional about engaging.

She’s saying all the right things.”

Harris’s success with the moneyed class infuriated Trump.

“All rich, job creating people, that support Comrade Kamala Harris,” he wrote in a social-media post in September,
“you are STUPID.”

A couple of weeks later, he posted the
false claim that
Jamie Dimon, the JPMorgan C.E.O., whom Trump had also mused about as a candidate for Treasury Secretary,
had endorsed him.

Not only was this untrue, as JPMorgan swiftly announced;

it turned out that Dimon’s wife had donated more than $200,000 to the Democratic ticket
and attended a dinner this summer with Harris.

As if to rebut the doubters,
Trump appeared in early October at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania,
the scene of the first assassination attempt against him,
alongside his wealthiest benefactor, Musk.

Trump had outsourced much of his campaign’s turnout operation
—the traditional preserve of the political parties and the candidates
—to Musk’s America pac.

Musk, whom the Times called “obsessive, almost manic” in his backing of the ex-President,
had all but relocated to Pennsylvania to oversee an effort to swing the crucial battleground state.

In Butler, he leaped around the stage in a black maga hat,
as the former President grinned with delight.

If Trump does not win, Musk told the crowd, “this will be the last election.”

A few days later, Harris’s campaign made a stunning announcement:

she had raised $1 billion in a matter of weeks,
the largest sum ever collected for an American politician in such a short amount of time.

Harris more than doubled Trump’s contributions in September alone.

Will it matter?

During the past two decades, the winner of the Presidential election has always been the better funded of the two candidates
—with the notable exception of Hillary Clinton, in 2016.

♦ By Susan B. Glasser
October 18, 2024

Trump was fund-raising off his conviction with small-dollar donors as well;

His campaign, which portrayed him as the victim of a politicized justice system, brought in nearly $53 million in the twenty-four hours after the verdict.

Several megadonors who had held back from endorsing Trump announced that they were now supporting him,
including
🔸#Miriam #Adelson, the widow of the late casino mogul #Sheldon Adelson;
🔸the Silicon Valley investor #David #Sacks, who said that the case against Trump was a sign of America turning into a “Banana Republic”;
🔸and the venture capitalist #Shaun #Maguire, who, less than an hour after the verdict, posted on X that he was donating $300,000 to Trump, 👉calling the prosecution a “radicalizing experience.” 👈

A day later, #Timothy #Mellon, the banking-family scion, wrote a $50-million check to the Make America Great Again super pac.

#Ed #Rogers, a longtime G.O.P. lobbyist, had never publicly endorsed Trump or raised money for his campaigns.

On May 31st, the day after Trump’s conviction, he sent his first contribution to the ex-President. “There was no case to make that that was not targeted prosecution,” he told me.

He predicted that other Republicans who, like him, had been “allergic” to Trump would now get on board as well.

“I tell people I am a Bill Barr, Chris Sununu, Nikki Haley Republican,” he said, listing the names of Republican officials who had criticized Trump in blistering terms only to support him again in 2024;

Haley, despite having called Trump “unhinged” and a threat to the Republic, had announced the week before his conviction that she would vote for him.

“The choices are 🔹Biden or Trump🔹, and I’m at peace with that,” Rogers said in June.
“I wish it was a different equation, but it’s not.”

❗️Many donors I spoke with at the time described
🧨Trump’s trial as an impetus,
but they tended to cite a litany of other reasons, too, including questions about
🔸Biden’s age and fitness to serve another term, concerns about his
🔸economic policies, and gripes about some of his
🔸appointees, such as the head of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina Khan, who has launched high-profile antitrust investigations.

Trump, despite his populist rhetoric, deficit spending, and support for market-distorting tariffs,
has sold himself as a pro-business candidate.

He has promised extensive deregulation,
nearly unfettered drilling for oil and gas,
and tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals.

“A lot of the donors have just come to the conclusion that, when you add it all up,
the risks with Trump are behavioral
—personal behavior and what he says
—versus the policies,” the attendee at the Fifth Avenue fund-raiser told me.

It was a “rationalization” adopted by “even those who were initially very put off, very alienated, by his behavior at the end of his Presidency.”

🆘 By late May, Trump’s campaign had more money in the bank than Biden’s.

The incumbent President’s disastrous performance in a June 27th debate against Trump only accelerated the trend.

“After the debate, Biden looks like a loser,
so these people who were never going to give to Biden,
they’re now even more attracted to the idea of giving to former President Trump,”
the attendee at Fanjul’s dinner said.

“Because he looks like a winner.”

The following month, as Democratic donors and elected officials frantically pressured Biden to drop out of the race,
Trump and the Republicans again outraised the Democrats.

“The Zeitgeist in the business world is that Trump is going to be President again,”
a billionaire C.E.O. who is not a Trump supporter told me at the time.

“Therefore, why fall on your sword on principle?”

He added, “Businesspeople
—their main focus in life is to make money,
and you make money by backing winners. . . .

They’ve concluded, O.K., he’s going to be President,
let’s hold our nose and do what we have to do.”
