It is not a stretch at this point to say that, if you are using a Ring doorbell, you are an ICE collaborator.
Amazon readily provides data to LEOs and ICE.
Don't want to be an ICE collaborator? Then don't use Ring.

A half dozen senior Republicans in Congress have now made clear that pending congressional hearings, they have no intention of expending political capital in support of Pete Hegseth. The odds that he's going down have just doubled.

You cannot be on the left and oppose trans rights.
You cannot be on the left and desire nationalism.
Once you start to demonise one out-group to bolster support for the state you open the gates to all sorts of discrimination and, thence, nationalism becomes ultranationalism, which leads to fascism.

As nominally left parties enact transphobia please remember that the German "National Socialists" worked on eliminating trans people¹ before they eliminated the Socialists from their own party².

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

The thing about useful idiots in professional spaces is that the whole game, from the perspective of the fascist, is to constantly game them into taking ”innocuous” positions on any given day’s culture war issue, thus forcing them to perpetually conflict with everything left of the fascists.
This won’t be a popular opinion, but I don’t think the instructor was right here. The assignment said that the goal was for students to demonstrate they completed the readings *and* they could do so by reflecting on, among other things, their personal experiences. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

The 1-2 punch of "gangs provide identity and create financial, social *and emotional* support where it is otherwise absent" and "cops are indistinguishable from gangs" does lead to some in-hindsight obvious conclusions about secondary, unspoken motivations cops have for closing ranks when questioned

I don’t think it’s necessarily great that the CIA operated Afghan military squads but we certainly did do so and we made commitments to those people and we failed to keep faith with at least our moral responsibilities in this case.
