NEW from DSM: A video published on YouTube showed a documentary filmmaker ordered to back away while filming the Eugene Police and subsequently learned that the department has its own "press."

We've spoken to experts who agree this is very bad.

The jury found that both officer Tykol (defendent), and Rodriguez (deceased) were negligent, but that Tykol and City of Eugene’s negligence amounted to 45%, and Rodriguez’ 55%.

The city won.
This closing arguments have concluded, and the jury is deliberating. We’ll update here when a verdict comes in.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

SMOOTHIES????
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

So @alexvitale.bsky.social, who wrote THE END OF POLICING (which I cite heavily in my forthcoming book THE OVERSEER CLASS), has been tapped to join Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s Transition Team to work on “community safety issues.”

This is an extremely promising development.

I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.

Substantial update!

I called Support, again. As @lcrw.bsky.social told me, I "out Karen'd them" and didn't take no for an answer, eventually being transferred to a supervisor. He was the most helpful out of anyone so far.

I've filled out another form for the delay in reply. Should hear back soon.
Another day has passed without any reply or even a confirmation that @netflix.com is aware of our article.

You'd think Netflix would want the general public to easily contact the company and report that its name, logo, and theme music are being used in Proud Boys propaganda but what do I know 🤷‍♂️
Another day without any response from @netflix.com about whether they approve of far-right propagandists using their logo, theme music, and name in a Proud Boys compilation reel.

Does Netflix support Proud Boys? The question is begging to be answered.

Devoogd replied on X that she, in fact, made this edit and @netflix.com has zero to do with her Proud Boys propaganda reel.
