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:”

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.

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Nixon’s crimes look like harmless high school pranks compared to the now-daily unprecedented illegal & unconstitutional crimes being committed daily by this president & his staff

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Protests are not about trying to appeal to the government and make it change its mind, they're about drawing attention to the issues by increasing general public awareness

Many people are politically detached and truly have no idea what's really going on unless it's mentioned on the evening news

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

There is no "debate"

One side is decades of research & scientists whose entire career is built on being as accurate as possible

The other is one guy who has absolutely zero evidence or credibility & the only reason his idiocy is even being discussed is because of his meaningless title

Do better

Skeletal Minion @skeletalminion.bsky.social · 2d

We see raw footage every single day of feds & officers joining hand in hand to brutalize & terrorize the general public over some ridiculous immigrant bogeyman Dems have spent years legitimizing, yet they feel "kitchen table issues" are the REAL problem.

The Democratic party lives on another planet

This album still absolutely whips ass. While other bands at the time were toying with acoustic stuff or trying to increase their radio friendly appeal at the behest of their labels, Spineshank leaned into their aggression and kicked out an album of high energy bangers

Turns out not dealing with the institutionalized rot that festers within law enforcement by holding them accountable when they themselves break the law has left them lawless and more loyal to their own fascist ideology than to any politician who even lightly suggests they need to be reigned in

I see people saying stuff about how Dem leaders like Pritzker aren't calling out the state police for backing up ICE or how some Dems are afraid cops will ignore lawful orders

And it's so frustrating because it's like, yeah, that's bad! Progressives have been sounding the alarm on this for years

Genuine question: are Ed Zitron's info/takes on AI solid or not? I've now seen more than one post implying he doesn't know what he's talking about, but no plain explanations

I've been following him for a while. He seems legit to me but I realize that may be due to my own ignorance so idk
