when ppl were protesting in ferguson, the police wouldn't let them stand in place, and made them march. Black ppl told y'all "this is a first amendment violation. if you let this stand, they will continue to erode the first amendment until you don't have one." now look.

'the economy' is just the three worst dudes on earth stacked inside a trenchcoat stealing everyone else's money

SCOOP: Ring’s controversial, AI-powered “Search Party” feature isn’t intended to be limited only to dogs, the company’s founder, Jamie Siminoff, told Ring employees in an internal email obtained by 404 Media.

"I forced the shape of English onto resisting tongues and then dared to call it 'broken.'"

Very important Olympic update

Nazis account for such a overwhelming percentage of mass shootings that in the rare instances a person who is an ethnic or sexual minority commits a mass shooting they are almost always also a Nazi

Oh, this is really, really bad. Suicide rates absolutely will go up. You cannot take a person with serious mental health problems and yank their meds away without serious repercussions. You just can't. This is beyond cruel.

Noem's jet is reportedly going to cost $70 million dollars. Bush I's chief of staff John Sununu spent 2% of that on personal travel and it was such a big scandal he had to resign for it.

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

It's apparently a LOCUST directed energy weapon. It's described as having a power of 20 kilowatts. By way of comparison, handheld laser pointers are limited by law to 5 mlliwatts, so this is the equivalent of 4 million of them. www.twz.com/news-feature... bluehalo.com/c-uas-autono...

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist

Prosecutors indicted the first woman in early January for fetal homicide despite an explicit exception for people who end their own pregnancies. Dropped the charge but still pursuing three others. Self-managed abortion is only explicitly banned in one state but cops use other laws to arrest people

One of the things that really fucking annoys me about AI is that people *do not understand it* (on purpose, bc these companies want it that way) and they assume it’s as reliable as the computers they’ve been using their whole life when it’s actually about as reliable as your least capable intern

I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.

Happening now on 50th Street in Minneapolis. Lined up over a ten block stretch.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.

This is the cultural rot at the core of ICE. Hurt people and then make shit up to cover your ass. You can’t retrain or reform this. You have to abolish it.

The "erasure of white culture" guy having trouble when asked what white culture has been erased is like when the woman who wrote a "woke indoctrination" book couldn't define "woke." Many observers keep searching for a material or intellectual explanation for this stuff, but there really isn't one.

Believe it or not, impeachable offense

Welp.

If you want to piss someone off who is hyper anti-vaxx, anti-tax, etc. just encourage them to go form their own separate society with people who agree with them. A big unstated assumption for a lot of selfish people is that they want the benefits of living in a society with none of the obligations.

This is a very good article describing the Trump administration’s attacks on the midterm elections. We should be concerned about what’s happening, and ready to call out the BS, but not resigned to defeat (of democracy), b/c the attacks aren’t going to work. We (all) aren’t going to let that happen.

British dude telling me Western Culture isn’t a thing for $500, Alex.

They knew damn well he was lying.

"People think of the USA as a nation of immigrants and the land of opportunity, but the truth is, this country can’t afford to welcome all the migrants who want to live here. In fact, we barely have any money at all, because destroying the lives of immigrants is very expensive."

If you’re autistic, you’re constantly breaking unspoken rules that you didn’t know about. Especially when you are happy or excited. It makes one really tired and sad at times.

Authoritarians cannot understand regular people because they themselves are cowards Fear motivates them, so they assume it motivates everyone. They can't imagine risking their lives for a stranger, for free It's why they've beat a public retreat in Minneapolis, and it's how we'll ultimately win

This is a violation of the Constitution’s appropriations clause.

The effects of trauma also don’t just disappear.

Shutting down a trial. For a herpes vaccine.

The founder of the company loved this idea so much he cast himself in the ad and pitched it to America and it tanked the entire brand. lol.

if an adult plays the trombone in the peanuts universe it sounds like words

Interesting CCPA situation happening to me right now as brand new California resident: WA residence I’m leaving is forcing me to use—as far as I can see— a data selling honeypot. For pet vaccine records. Absolutely refuses to look at one booster record themselves.

Tell your dumbshit MAGA friends they voted for a rapist. TRUMP. IS. A. RAPIST. Say it out loud with your full chest. "You voted for a rapist!" No, he has not been convicted of rape in criminal court, but he has been legally designated as a "rapist" and been found guilty of rape in civil court.

Every worker deserves a union. Cool to see a big national union like CWA support sex worker organizing.

The plate carriers they wear are for propaganda purposes. No one’s shooting at these uniformed cowards. They’re the ones shooting, gassing & pepper-spraying unarmed people.

Pay attention and don’t stop Minneapolis. And look at Maine too.

Post ya trees you took pics of!

No one can catch a beer thrown by the crowd onto a moving truck better than the Seahawks receiving bench..

Rabbis and protesters blow their shofars in front of ICE HQ. #JewsAgainstIce

The President is the biggest snowflake there ever was and I cannot wait to bring this up in an argument.
