You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.
So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

I think the worse the quality, the better Youtube videos will do in the future. Think about it. A.I. basically "averages" it's output. It makes everything CLEAN & SHARP. Crusty old 144p camcorder rips are more trustworthy at face value. "I like this on account of how bad it is" Embrace visual snow.

If you are grandfathered in to Ring you can turn off all the settings for Police and “pet” surveillance permissions, which are of course default on. Control Center —> public safety and Control Center —> Search Party (this is the one from the Super Bowl ad)
Ring has done this before. They partner with cops, get backlash, withdraw a bit, wait for it to calm down, and then go right back to working with cops. Don't believe this spin.

If the name on your birth certificate doesn't match the ID you currently use (passport, Driver's License, etc.) you will need to produce documented reasons why-marriage/divorce docs, legal name change, etc.). This could disenfranchise millions of married women, divorcées, adopted children, actors...
The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Steve Jobs had the most treatable form of pancreatic cancer around and he refused conventional treatments which he admitted at the time of his death cost him is life. I'm BEGGING you not to use celebrities who only reveal tiny bits of their medical diagnosis to make a larger point about society

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Note: Just like Mohsen Mahdawi, ICE snatched Leqaa at what she thought was a routine immigration check-in, after she protested Israel’s genocide of Gaza.
They then took her from New Jersey to Texas—where she’s been detained for nearly a year.
Now she’s hospitalized and her whereabouts are unknown.

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure.
Her whereabouts & health are now unknown.
The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.
