As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

This is a First Amendment question combined with a practical question. The answer is as follows.

First, the First Amendment protects advocating the moral and practical necessity of breaking the law in the abstract.

Sex. They want sex robots.
one of the things I really do not understand is why so much of the development of robots seems to be focused on making them bipedal like humans. Why? It's an insane allocation of resources when it would be much easier to give them three or four "legs" or come up with some new system

How the fuck did the NYT manage to report this story with zero detail about which laws he’s claiming were violated
An FBI agent-in-training filed a lawsuit after he was handed a letter signed by the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, saying that he was being “summarily dismissed” because of “political signage.” The only thing that could be, he quickly realized, was a rainbow pride flag that had hung near his desk.

He described his dismissal as the latest move by senior F.B.I. officials to play politics, damaging morale and hindering the bureau’s ability to carry out its public safety mission.

🧵*11/18/2025 noncooperation thread*

A daily-ish thread of acts of noncompliance & defiance by individuals, communities, & institutions.

Late start for the thread today but, well, look what I just read. How could I not start a noncooperation thread? We the people. A nation of heroes. ❤️
Well, that was something. Showed up for deportation defense training in Borough Park, trainers arrived, said there was “evolving situation” in Bensonhurst, were we up for heading there, we said Hell yeah, went and met folks on the ground, ICE ended up driving out of the hood with no one detained 🔥✊

NONCOOPERATION THREAD OF THREADS

My daily threads of noncooperation will be here.

We have a deep history of resisting authoritarianism on these shores; we need to listen to & learn from the communities that have led those fights, draw on our collective muscle memory, & fight like hell.

LFG.

According to the news
due to current measles outbreaks
“The US could soon lose
its standing as a country
that has eliminated measles,”
which is yet another reminder
that this is not
an era of plague,
but instead
an era of plagues.

Basically, the United States ran up until 2024 based on nothing more than the presumption that the administration would not do relentless crimes, and would stop if asked.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.
