A legit company would just send you the goddamn equipment. The internet has removed the geographical barriers to that process, so if someone asks you to use a _check_ - report & run! (3/3)

lmao, there’s a possibility that a bunch of us are going to get martyred over voter rolls, and honestly, that’s probably as random as being upset about taxes on tea

Democratic members of Congress are not bound by oaths to protect sources/congregants/patients like journalists, priests, and doctors are. If your GOP colleagues are saying privately that they decry what ICE or Trump is doing, time to name names.

i think a strong, consistent personal commitment to pacifism is worthy of respect but "listen up, fives! a ten is speaking! the plan is: we're all gonna get killed, and then we win" pacifism is just some fucking horseshit — 10000x so if you're not the first person getting their head bashed by a cop

And they've been they're for a year

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

"...he’s disarmed and lying helpless on the ground before they start spraying bullets into his body. They could have just arrested him, even though he hadn’t done a single illegal thing—but ICE killed him because they felt like it." Heartbreaking from @lebassett.bsky.social

hot tip: every Brecht poem hits insane right now

I have about 5100 followers on here and I follow around 2500 people myself, and there are hundreds of other people who say really interesting things almost hourly on here. But I've only actually met 7 or 8 of you, and I only KNOW (as in "would tell deep secrets to") like three of you, all of whom

You can be angry. I'm mad as hell right now. Those fuckers straight up murdered him after they disarmed him. But do not let your emotions get the better of you and start talking on a public forum in anything approaching detail about criminal activity you may feel moved to commit. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

REMINDER: DO NOT SAY THINGS IN A PUBLIC FORUM THAT WOULD SINK YOUR DEFENSE IN A CRIMINAL TRIAL. DO NOT PLAN OR PLOT TO COMMIT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE STATE ON HERE. DO NOT TALK HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT POSSIBLY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE CONTEMPLATING.

these people genuinely do not live in reality, which is why we are well past just convincing them why this is wrong or welcoming anyone under 'the big tent'. They need actual fucking cult deprogramming because they DO NOT RECOGNIZE REALITY. bsky.app/profile/arii...

remember, you can yell scream and curse at the political fundraising texts, but DO NOT reply with an actionable threat because the US attorney’s office considers the volunteer batch sending them to be a live human recipient of that message. it’s not just a bot. those cases can and do get charged.

Quoting regime figures without noting that they LIE ALL THE TIME and that their account is refuted by VIDEO EVIDENCE is stenography, not reporting.

"The leading Democrats in Washington wield raw power only if absolutely forced to by grassroots uproar...Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, simply lack the temperament and strategic ability to counter Republican power moves with power moves of their own."

This. I am glad the video exists because it rebuts the lies that will and are happening. But watching it is not necessary and can even make you a less effective person fighting against it, because the moral damage of being helpless to stop it can trigger a "freeze and only scream" kinda response.

🌹 Letter incoming for ~ My moots💌 📨 → 📃 “I just wanted to say that I love you all and appreciate you more than you could know! It’s been a hard year mentally for me but getting to talk to you guys everyday and seeing what you’re up to and seeing your own struggles makes it feel as tho I’m not alone-

This is part of a continued, coordinated assault on our Constitutional rights — with specific focus on individuals and groups who disagree with this President. I will be voting against the Dept. of Homeland Security funding bill this week.

again: utterly, mindblowingly absurd that this is what they’re going with when you can see from angle after angle that Pretti did not have his gun out and was in fact restrained on the ground when they disarmed and then shot him these are bad lies and they’re going to backfire horrendously

A republican has chimed in.

Clearly, there are certain brain-states (relaxation) that trigger steady breathing that create the magic sound we all love, but this study suggests that purring is an unintended side-effect, not a blessing or endorsement from our feline masters. Meaning: they can't help being this cute.

It's amazing how many 2nd Amendment "defenders" are suddenly twisting themselves into pretzels to justify the execution style killing of a man who happened to be open carrying, but was disarmed AND made no attempt to draw or discharge his firearm.

DO NOT GET THE CHAT SUBPOENAED.

My birthday is in two weeks now, and all i want is to be able to pay our rent and bills. We need at least $1500 USD, ultimately. Gonna try to hit up my dad for some of that but if you can help, please, please do.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

boosting this on request from Ben, this is my sister's House rep and Cat HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES her come through, Washington

seems fairly clear that the ICE guys have been told by somebody "if you kill somebody, local police aren't allowed to investigate the scene, and you need to obstruct them"

This has been the border patrol playbook for decades, so makes sense. Border patrol had (probably had again) units specifically dedicated to fucking up any evidence they didnt like at shooting scenes and pushing their preferred narrative.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

"...but most remarkably, it exactly matches a casting mold found 43 years ago."

"X-Files" style paranormal investigative procedural which preserves high stakes over the length of its run by keeping the same supporting cast from episode to episode, but the sexy lead duo can die at any time. Many pairs last only a single episode, especially the gratuitous celebrity guest stars.

All net proceeds of all these shirts, hoodies and onesies will go to aid organizations in Minnesota working to protect their neighbors from terror. Fuck ICE, stand with Minneapolis.

Every non-hype defense of LLMs starts with "you must already understand your work really well." Vibe coding isn't being done by those people. It's being done by execs who are making a prototype because it is now easy to do. This kills the systems of intention and maintenance necessary for good UX.

If you work at ice: quit, now. If you believe in an immortal soul, do it for that. If not, do it because there is going to be a reckoning one way or another and the longer you stay the more likely you are to be one of the reckoned.

Since everyone else keeps bringing it up for other reasons: Remember the part in 1984 when he's being asked how many fingers are being held up, and the right answer is however many fingers the party tells you? Even if it doesn't match up to reality? That's their press releases.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

For now...I just hope folks understand that the National Guard being mobilized does not mean the state is finally helping those on the ground. It means there are more people with guns, and those guns might not be pointed where you think they should be.

This is Piper’s weather! It’s 21° out and feels like 7°. As far as she is concerned, the colder the better!
