The really innovative part about stablecoins is that they lose value if the crypto market crashes so many of them are fucking useless actually

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

yeah, it depends where they think they can make money I guess. Is there a Just Eats in Swindon? I've seen other smaller delivery services in smaller towns. Deliveroo has the brand recognition

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

The pattern is they fire a ton of people, say they made a mistake, and then selectively rehire back only the most mediocre white men.

This is why Black women's unemployment has spiked, the federal government used to be the largest employer of Black women until these monte carlo firings

Joshua Weitz @joshuasweitz.bsky.social · 16h

New reporting: many apparently fired at CDC in 'error'. This is a failure by design given that the admin does not care about fulfilling agency missions. This is the kind of error that should have political consequences.

Unserious people cause real-world harm.

They'll fire a thousand people, and then selectively offer to rehire like the 100 worst fucking people.

They've been doing this across the entire government for almost a year. So much so that Black women's unemployment has spiked massively due to it

For decades lawmakers have funded and outfitted cops with military gear who are trained to unload on anyone for any reason they see fit, and now getting indiscriminately beaten and arrested by them is apparently the only defense from the actual military doing worse.

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 15h

Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.
