If you're an Android user, one of the recent updates for me turned fingerprint unlocking back on after I'd turned it off.

Police can make you unlock your phone with your finger but they can't compel you to give to your passcode/pattern.

How many times this year has the government had to declare "Oopsies!" in court?

Who is saying they're building a base? It's a training facility and it's not uncommon.

It's a training facility for the jets they buy from us. It was set up under Biden.

At least Singapore has already done the exact same thing.

The topline headline sounds alarming but there's not really a story here.

Legacy would be a fun rewatch for me were it not for the horrific de-aging effects. 😬

Every time I see this name I think someone is referring to me but mangling the spelling.

Just missed most of Jaxson Dart's touchdown run as the screen froze of him at the 10 and then again as he did a TD dance.

Penn and Teller did that exact thing on their BS show - a water steward bringing various fancy bottles of water, all of which got glowing praise from the customers and all of which were filled from the same garden hose.

Republicans: I didn't see the comment about eating manatees.

DoJ: Eating a manatee isn't reviewable.

Democrats: Eating a manatee is a distraction from grocery prices.

Supreme Court: We will examine whether he can eat a manatee later but won't stop him in the meantime.

Trump: I'm going to have a manatee for dinner on live TV.

Kamala Harris: Trump wants to eat a manatee.

Fact checkers: He didn't say he would EAT the manatee. Harris is lying.

Trump: No, I'm going to eat it with a fork and knife.

Fact checkers: 🦗🦗🦗

Trump voters: I didn't vote for manatee eating!

I've heard the Black Eyed Peas are pushing hard for Greenwood so they won't be the worst halftime in history any more.

We have reached a level of authoritarianism, let’s use the word FASCISM, where the President, based entirely on lies about violence and disorder, and against the will of the governors of the states, can send hostile state’s National Guard to invade and sit on citizens

Wesley Morgan @wesleymorgan.bsky.social · 3d

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

It turns out the techie people are pretty bad at communications.

Does anyone know if something like that has ever happened before?

It's appalling the need for this exists but kinda awesome that it does.

This government is the dumbest damn thing I have seen in my entire life.

An ICE agent in Portland, OR, targeted a frog-suited protester’s air intake valve with pepper spray — a tactic that medical experts say could have been life-threatening.

No shit I'm furious. I spent eleven years learning to write well about complex topics in ethical ways, often for criminally low rates, because I believe that work's important. It's deeply insulting to see a total dipshit get fabulously wealthy for telling the rich what they want to hear!

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Picture adding in that this was at the request of President Donald Trump and telling someone from 2010 this.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Grudgie the Whale @grudgie.bsky.social · 5d

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 5d

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?
