it's RFK this time but it's indistinguishable from fauci, walensky, biden, wen, or any of the other ghouls whose names have graciously escaped me at the moment who have helped normalize the abandonment of people like me to this ongoing pandemic

I was telling some friends today that it's amazing we haven't all died from stress... and realized that's survivor bias talking.

Plenty of people are definitely not surviving the stress.

But we muddle through

On April 14, 2026, Judge Chen extended Plaintiff’s deadline to take the deposition of Apple, Inc.’s corporate witness, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6), to May 14, 2026. (Dkt. No. 352 at 4.) Judge Chen ordered the parties to meet and confer regarding the deposition topics, and ordered them to file a joint discovery letter before the undersigned should they be unable to reach an agreement. Id. at 4-5. During the parties’ meet and confer efforts, Plaintiff agreed to narrow the topics from 14 to 10. (Joint Letter, Dkt. No. 356.) They could not, however, agree on the remaining 10 deposition topics and filed the instant joint discovery letter on April 21, 2026. Id. Plaintiff contends that she seeks information regarding the remaining topics (2-9, 12, and 14) that was not provided by the other deponents or Apple’s responses to written discovery. (Joint Letter at 1.) In opposition, Apple argues that no Rule 30(b)(6) deposition should occur, and that the noticed topics are not proportional to the needs of the case and/or are unreasonably cumulative of discovery that Plaintiff has already obtained. (Joint Letter at 2.) During the meet and confer process, Apple proposed responding in writing to “certain discrete questions” from Plaintiff’s notice” in lieu of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, but Plaintiff rejected that proposal. Id. at 3. Apple is being unreasonable. As an initial matter, deposing individual fact witnesses is fundamentally different than deposing a corporate witness under Rule 30(b)(6). In the case of

Rule 30(b)(6) designees, the corporation is responsible for preparing the corporate witnesses and the testimony binds the entity they are representing. Louisiana Pac. Corp. v. Money Mkt. 1 Institutional Inv. Dealer, 285 F.R.D. 481, 486-87 (N.D. Cal. 2012); see also Storms v. Paychex, Inc., No. LACV2101534JAKJEMX, 2023 WL 4291436, at *8 (C.D. Cal. May 24, 2023) For that reason, courts in this district have generally required the production of a corporate witness in this circumstance, because, “[e]ven if the general topics to be addressed at the 30(b)(6) deposition will overlap to some extent, the questions asked and the answers given might not.” Mitchell Eng'g v. City & Cnty. of San Francisco, No. C 08-04022 SI, 2010 WL 455290, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 2, 2010). Thus, Apple’s argument that Plaintiff has already deposed individual employees rendering the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition “unreasonably cumulative” is unavailing. Moreover, to the extent that Apple is asserting privilege on multiple topics, whether the privilege exists depends on the questions asked. Apple does not know what questions will be asked, and surely some questions will not be privileged. Nothing is stopping Apple from raising privilege objections during the deposition in real-time. Furthermore, despite Apple’s protestations to the contrary, it is not Plaintiff’s responsibility to identify what nonprivileged information she is seeking beyond the noticed topics before this deposition can go forward. (See Joint Letter at 3.) Finally, as a practical matter, answering 10 written questions is an inadequate substitute for a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, and Apple should know better. Accordingly, the Court orders that the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition go forward. The only topic that the Court finds irrelevant to the remaining claims is Topic 12, which seeks information pertaining to post-termination social media communications and monitoring. All other topics (2-9, and 14) pertain to pre-termination issues or the terminat…

Apple's still hiding lots of info about my suspension & termination, & refused to let me depose Apple Inc as the corp (Rule 30B6 depo). I had to raise it to both federal Judges in my case & both ordered Apple to sit fr my depo, & today the discovery Judge even said Apple was being unreasonable. ⚖️🫡

Congress can (legally) remove Trump.

It takes 50%+1 of the House & 2/3 of the Senate and we are not starting from zero.

We must compel & pressure our congressional delegations as part of our diversity of tactics.

Trump et al must be removed from power ASAP.

Trump’s nuclear launch authority and his unconstitutionally broad command of USA military forces are Bad for a large variety of reasons, some of which are all too obvious in this very moment.

We are in mortal danger so long as we leave him & the Regime in power.

6/5

And the nuclear launch authority and military command are things we’ll have to address in the coming reconstruction.

"Red states" don't exist.

Politically disenfranchised and voter suppressed states exist.

It is not coincidental that these states have enormous Black, Latino, and impoverished populations.

And yes, this does make it racist to argue that "red states deserve what they get".
