They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

The reason affirmative action, DEI, & anti-discrimination is such a threat to JD Vance, Elon Musk, & Stephen Miller is because you can’t get away with shit like lying about having 2 degrees when you dropped out of college because someone sees themselves in you and wants to give you a second chance.

I miss the morning dew, crowning tufts of grass, crickets asleep, so don't harass, the rising Sun, prancing through the liquid beads, shimmering reeds, seeping across my fingertip, brought gently, to my waiting lips.

Didn't know this!
Just had to help my spouse with this, so I thought I'd pass it on for other people who have a hard time eating now after a COVID infection:

Leftovers and foods kept at a warm temperature for a long time (think buffets, the meat at Chipotle) are high in histamine and can trigger reactions.

Really recommend listening to this episode (and any episode of reveal). In depth on Chicago, resistance to and impacts of federal occupation as well as a more broad view of surveillance tools ICE is using. With apologies to whoever said it first, imperial boomerang goes thwack
Your weekly dystopian update: The government is using face-scanning apps to check if random people on the street are citizens.

And they say you cannot refuse.

This week on Reveal, @404media.co shows us how the US deploys its tech against its people.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
Here he is taking the photo.

We have to start demanding that journalists, reporters, authors, editors, social media managers, etc. use correct language when talking about sexual assault.

What the fuck is an underage woman? A GIRL. A MINOR. Underage women do not exist.
Epstein, who sexually abused underage women at his homes and one of his private islands in the Caribbean, also kept images of sex toys, according to the new release.

One of the photographs shows novelty condoms with Trump’s likeness on them. A sign reads, “Trump Condom $4.50.” (6/x)

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

For the umpteenth time since at least Watergate, there are going to be no actual legal, personal, or professional consequences for the lawless authoritarianism from the GOP. It’s the signal feature of 🇺🇸 politics & why all the awful & illegal things keep happening again & again & again.
Aside from how he's wrong right now on the history, process, strategy, and merits, this is Jeffries heavily signaling that even when they're in the majority, he'll oppose any impeachment that doesn't first get slow-walked in needless committee dithering for as long as he can delay it there.
Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

This is a frustratingly common false equivalency.

Where we're at now is the unteenth itteration of slave patrols combined with nationally implemented Jim Crow laws.

There has NEVER been any accountability for those who have historically implemented the above, and I don't see any on the horrizon.

Salem PD regularly violates public records law and apparently learned no lessons in Hush season 1.

Records this old should not need any redactions under Oregon law and should be released for free. This is a money making scam because SPD doesn't want to spend money to follow the law.
Today I found a new low in public records hell: I paid $980.15 so a person employed by Salem Police could watch me view 33 year old records. My arguments with them went nowhere; they let me know any further viewing or copying would incur significantly more $.
