anyone want to take bets on how long it takes for english-language news to acknowledge the war that is probably happening

People really do be believing that police departments do what elected officials say huh

happy new music Friday I’m keeping my mouth shut today

Senator Murphy also lays out a clear set of codified demands that Dems can stand for. Among them: *no more using budget to punish enemies *no more using FCC to censor critics *restrictions on ICE lawlessness in interior *clear ban on troops in cities 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

I see people quoting this saying they are glad a nazi got hit/punched etc. Am I watching a different video? It looks like crowd successfully deescalated the situation and arrested him.

Yeah there’s no way I’m putting all this in a cage

Weird things happen when you define The Community as people who weren’t excluded by a neighborhood’s exclusionary zoning. We shouldn’t let them decide who lives where, IMO.

Products and marketing from Google and OpenAI have done so much damage to the average person’s perception of AI that I quite understand the backlash

Little nazi learning that speech is not free from consequences. You love to see it.

ICE has been waiting for commuter buses to cross from Maryland into DC and then boarding the buses and detaining people. They’re learning an awful lot about the city very quickly.

During a shutdown, the federal government furloughs all but the most essential employees (the 8chan recruit who posts groyper memes to the DHS X account).

Boston area oomfs where should I go for the best New England Greek pizza?

The Worcester City Council has voted 8-2 to oppose the pursuit, exploration, or entering into a 287(g) Task Force Model agreement with ICE or any other agreement or arrangement that gives federal immigration powers to Worcester officials

Last night, the ADL took down its "Glossary of antisemitism" which included an entry for the term "globalist," describing it as a far-right codeword for Jews. Hours later, the official DHS account authors a post with a common far-right meme, saying that "globalists" will be denied entry to the US.

Purple is a fruit or You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel

“That man ate all our shrimp! And two plastic lobsters”

They oughta call it a LARGE island iced tea

if you try to sell your soul to fascists they just take it

okay i switched to tidal and i already have my most prized playlists transferred over and it only took an hour

It's cool how many news reports I'm seeing about impending federal layoffs and safety net cuts that fail to note that all of this is very obviously illegal.

So Trump is defunding the police.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Watched the latest CityPlannerPlays video and the state of the game is unfortunately depressing. The devs can’t figure out bicycle animations 2 years since release, there are no roadmaps, they have vague ideas of plans. They still don’t have console 2 YEARS after release.

Big fuck you to Bitnami for rug pulling their images from their docker repo. I guess shame on me for not copying the images onto my own repo

I enjoyed this.

Atlanta discourse is inundated with accusations that we can’t build homes because new neighbors will make traffic worse, and that is **measurably untrue**. I genuinely believe we absolutely can add tens of - even hundreds of - thousands of new neighbors without placing a square foot of new asphalt.

The language is stunning, but it's also one of the most clear-eyed and comprehensive statements I've seen from ANYBODY involved in government thus far as to the nature of the constitutional revolution that we are currently undergoing.

Judge Young: "This case ... squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.' 'No law' means 'no law.'"

If I had an opportunity to address all the brass in this room, I would probably give them a polite reminder that the doctrine of immunity for official acts does not apply to military officers who carry out illegal orders.

Trump literally declaring war on Americans. I wonder if there’s a term for that

well.

$2 billion in subsidies and Atlanta gets another Shake Shack. Now, that's how you do "economic development." What a "Project Win!" Someone at the Metro Chamber gets a gold star for "landing" this one.

If I see one of these fuckers in a bike lake I'm going to go full Seth Rogen in "Platonic" on it.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

nostalgic for my childhood? no, im gay

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Simply have a developer propose housing on the site and watch the city freak out @maxdubler.com

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

otc everything

it's absolutely baffling how badly dems as a block have pushed corruption as an issue. corruption is straightforward. the only explanation i can find is that most of the people who would push this are also dirty, so they don't want to go turning over rocks

Important to note at all levels of this regime. Somebody has to push the buttons after all. And just following orders is not a valid defense

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

LOL "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place... www.kgw.com/article/news...

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

For all intents and purposes, the most powerful person in the federal government is Stephen Miller, not the President.
