the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

It's weird that the guy who made the spyware app that Mike Johnson uses to spy on his son's porn-watching, and vice versa, was found to have a stash of CSAM and that just blipped right out of the news.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Also Gangle got self-conscious about not wearing clothes after seeing some kind of file that described everyone with what clothes they wore (I even realized during the dream that Zooble doesn't wear clothes either but the dream brushed it off)

There was also a scene where everyone was on a raft and it broke apart and everyone was left with their own piece as they went down a river or something.

I had a dream that the amazing digital circus released episode 7 but they did a crazy format change and now the series was done in first person from the perspective of a new seventh character (some kind of Muppet-style character) they just introduced but they weren't obvious about at first

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Another thing to do is to take this towards other parties, tell the greens you will support them if they take on the path against this.

Make it so the other parties start picking up the anti OSA, pro Paypros regulation, anti censorship route and if they do be loud about supporting them.

If youre in the UK and havent signed this petition, please do despite their response here. At 100k sigs they have to discuss it again

Petitions arent a silver bullet on their own, but they help communicate how many people do/dont support something. Its low commitment and worth doing!

According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

The focus on pornography and blaming it for every social problem has led to actual predators flying under the radar until it's too late.

Stop blaming porn and start finding actual solutions.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
