My Discord account was compromised over the New Year - if you've ever heard of the good old "just try my game" attack, well, I fell for it.

If everyone just lets this go, that's the ballgame. Anytime they want to kill someone they'll just say the FBI is handling it.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

In 2016 or so everyone was like "man Skype sucks. We should move to something that isn't Skype." and then everyone overnight just packed their things and moved to Discord. No drama, no hand wringing or complaining about discord being cringe, we just did it. Surreal to think about now.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

Yes exactly. If protesters stand in front of cars, it’s fine to kill them, if someone is *inside* a car, then it’s fine for law enforcement standing in front of them to shoot them in the face.
This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations
Noem: "People need to stop using their vehicles as weapons ... it's clear that it's being coordinated. People are being trained"

You are not required to traumatize yourself. All that does is make you less able to help and more likely to inflict further trauma on yourself.
I went in *knowing* what I was doing - it was not my first exposure to traumatic imagery, I had been trained previously - and it still something I'm not going to get over.
so yeah: you do not have to watch the video. and you absolutely should not watch if you won't have access to help.

One of the things you learn living somewhere with cold weather is that communities are safer when ice is cleared off the roads.

Regurgitative AI is now implicated in multiple deaths but still there is no sign of regulation.
Meanwhile, governments are working to ban trans people from public life based on imaginary scenarios that haven’t happened.
Not even AI could write a situation as stupid as this shit.
