Wait I thought they said we needed to be nice and peaceful or we would allow fascists to do fascism... 🤡

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

Wait I thought they said if we protested peacefully we wouldn't give fascists the excuse to be fascist and do fascism... I can't believe this is happening 🤡

Yes but you all seem to forget that Obama sent the national guard to brutalize peaceful native Americans protesting a pipeline. This has always been America. This in particular is not new.

RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

Their shape was based on the chemical structure for dopamine. Big thanks to my client for letting me play around with this idea!

I should be able to start some semblance of a job by the end of the month but until then I only have commission income. If you want to pitch in literally anything, I’d be grateful as hell.

Lmfao imagine believing Ghandi succeeded because of peaceful protests and not because GB was way too strained due to WW2.
It's the powerful who have taught you to fetishize peaceful protests so they can easily ignore us

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% & their risk of death by 64%”

Benefits were seen even if 0 risk factors

Annual COVID Vaccines Protect People against Severe Disease, Even with Prior Immunity

"The new research also “calls into question the idea that younger individuals and those without risk factors don’t need the vaccine,” Viswanathan says."

Annual COVID Vaccines Save Lives, New Study Shows

How loosely available is Discord’s age verification ID information if compromising an outsourced support agent can give them access to it?!

If it wasn’t clear, I have been very against this from the start. NEVER give your ID to a social media company. Call your reps!

Discord did not respond to a request for comment.
In an email, a ZenDesk spokesperson told 404 Media "Our investigation
indicates this incident did not arise from a vulnerability within Zendesk's platform. Zendesk's own systems were not compromised." In messages with the infosec X account VX-Underground, the hackers reportedly said they compromised an outsourced support agent.

Okay. But that's worse.
You do get how that's worse, right?

His arrival was foretold! Got these lovely void kitty pins from @kikidoodle.bsky.social some time ago & happened upon them while cleaning. It's obvious why I got the tuxedo, but I thought the chonk was also cute. Little did I know that my wife would be adopting an actual chonk almost 3 months ago 😂❤️
