A district judge in Manhattan has slapped down Amazon’s attempts to have a lawsuit against the online retailer moved to a more favorable location, likely setting the scene for the company to defend its COVID-19 labor practices in a New York court against the state’s attorney general.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said Friday that Amazon must answer the charges of state Attorney General Letitita James in a New York court as opposed to a federal one. James has claimed that Amazon has failed to protect its workers sufficiently from COVID-19 infection.
Amazon had sought to have the suit moved to a federal court in Brooklyn as a prelude to having it dismissed. Rakoff will issue an explanation for his decision at a future date.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
