1. Openly admitting that employees aren't happy enough to smile on their own 2. Attempted involvement in the operation of people's own personal faces: how did they not know this would create a scandal

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Man Dems should be spreading far and wide that the federal government is trying to ban prayer

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper. They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer. If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help." 🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

TIFFANY CROSS: “No… There’s a deal on the table Republicans can accept. They don't want to extend 1 year of subsidies for people to have affordable health care… part of me feels you're getting the government you voted for, but they don't deserve to be w/o health care.”

The implications of this are horrifying. @davidgerard.co.uk youtu.be/_dOPo6eVv6E?...

Because, as I have said, it’s only good universal use case is disciplining labor.

it’s all rooted in racism and god forbid we are allowed to have good things because a Black man was president

there is no consistency here, do not try to make it make sense, only marvel

Lieberman caucusing with republicans to warp and distort the ACA as originally passed leading to Trump proposing universal healthcare is one hell of a political through line

Didn't the administration try to claim that this woman didn't even work at the daycare -- that she just happen to run into the building after fleeing an immigration stop? Seems pretty clear that was a lie.

The USA has integrated its infrastructure with corporations such as Palantir & NVidia. Market faith in Palantir & NVidia is falling because the US state is doing a fascism. The US economy is going to erode as faith in those infrastructure businesses fails. Cui bono?

The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

This time Russell really really means it, you guys! If regular evangelicals don't get the message he's going to wag his finger even harder

One of the key things the Supreme Court is supposed to do on an emergency motion is to balance the hardships to each sides. Here it is not even close--people starving v. the government not tapping a reserve they are supposed to tap anyway in the event of an emergency

We think they're counting on people seeing the link and immediately donating that way rather than ever bothering to look for particular congregations b/c the whole operation relies on the public being ignorant of the disconnect between national and the congregations web.archive.org/web/20251105...

UPDATE: ope, that does make this stunt even harder to interpret charitably on their own announcement page, and presumably press release, TST links to themselves first, and the list of local food banks, etc., only at the bottom web.archive.org/web/20251105... So why even bother to point this out?

if you're still a TST member, sure, give to your food bank in the name of your local Satanic Temple group. whatever. but for anybody else, don't be confused about what happened here or think the guys in Salem deserve credit for "doing something" when backed into a corner and asking you to do it

the news release — sent out on Election Day three days after SNAP benefits were supposed, which again, suggests this was after-the-fact — is still trying to prop up the Potemkin village facade of having a large, functional "Satanic Good Works" that has never been www.reddit.com/r/SatanicTem...

we may have missed one of the links, but it *doesn't* look like anybody is trying to directly divert money into The Satanic Temple over this. it's just reputation laundering, trying to get people who heard how cool TST is on TikTok to donate money, then take credit for those people doing stuff

now, this face-saving is *absolutely* the best case scenario in terms of how The Satanic Temple was going to react to this the Google AI summary was on their side, but highly-ranked Reddit links were not, and TST was never going to admit, "hey! that's bogus. we can't do anything about this problem"

but, it's some of those links end up just being a local's email and pretty obviously, this is not in response to "food insecurity", which everyone knew was coming Nov. 1, but in response to the memes being spread about them transparently, that's why these all went live today rather than last week

Apparently in response to this (not necessarily the article, but the general misinformation), The Satanic Temple is trying to make it look like the fake info was real all along web.archive.org/web/20251105... archive.ph/jWINc and OK, they are (for the most part) directing people to food banks now

A photojournalist was arrested by ICE at gunpoint — and his DACA status revoked. “Ya’akub isn’t being accused of breaking immigration law — his DACA protection doesn’t expire until May 2026. In fact Ya’akub’s lawyers say he hasn’t been accused of any crime.” thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/04/h...

"'Communities rejecting Flock aren’t choosing to be less safe; quite the opposite,” [@eff.org's Sarah] Hamid said. 'They are coming to terms with how such a massive, sprawling, and ultimately ungovernable surveillance system puts themselves and their community members at risk.'"

Since then I am verrrrryyyyy cautious about muting and hiding accounts. I would *much rather* see a bad actor behaving egregiously and then block them then have no idea it’s happening. And with a big account this kinda thing happens a lot.

Way back in the day on ye-olde twitter i had muted someone that was bothering me. They were so furious they started going through all my posts and replying to every single person and attacking me broadly and I had no idea IRL friends started texting me to see if I was ok! That’s how I found out!

I am a person who receives death threats. If I can’t see that happening because the algorithm has deemed that account toxic and hidden it I am now in danger and have no idea it’s happening.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me* I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden @pfrazee.com

twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it. it kept him out of jail.

@pfrazee.com can we please address the safety concerns with this automod? this is putting people like me in danger. (i am tagging you because your team refuses to use official channels to announce rollouts and policy changes. this is a change that was announced by you.)

Disgusting Nazi shit happening in South Baltimore Apparently a bunch of people I know back home in Frederick know the woman who dressed up as a Nazi and she’s a real piece of work www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

I do not regret to inform you that people on Instagram have found the address of the woman who dressed as a Nazi and spent Halloween in Fell’s Point. She lives in Silver Spring and her name is Emily Welch

Maybe it’s the dog angle that hit me harder, but this story is crushing. They’re destroying people for no reason. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Also, it’s stories like this that make me all the more enraged at the hand waving from bullshit propaganda sites like PirateWires. radleybalko.substack.com/p/yes-the-tr...

New: Pablo Moreno González and Felipe Agustin Zamacona, two men formerly held at the Broadview, IL ICE facility, and now the named plaintiffs in a federal class action alleging inhumane treatment at the facility, are being released from federal custody per a successful habeas petition.

This has the telltale signs of being an attack influenced by online mass shooter fandom. A 17-year-old in Jakarta set off bombs at a school mosque, injuring 50 some odd people. He scrawled familiar white supremacist symbols & names on a toy gun, mimicking past mass shooters.

USians need to understand a characteristic of fascists is that they'll like to you. They just lie. Lie all the time. If it benefits them, short or long term, they lie. They're basically in a permanent coke psychosis.

If you understand that the Hillsdale folks are the DeVos folks are the Claremont folks are the Heritage folks are the Founders Fund folks are the Discovery Institute folks are the TPUSA folks are the Tanton folks are the Bircher folks are the Klan folks are the colonizing folks, its pretty clear.

People need to understand they're going to firehose SO much change at everyone to overwhelm multiple fronts. Then they can cherry pick changes they want out of what is getting social traction. Borders, policing, climate, journalism, trade, civil rights... They'll take everything they're allowed
