WAPO is the worst now

Trish the fish @trishthefish.bsky.social · 13d

When ICE first came to LA my son was at the vets late with his cat when an elderly Hispanic women and her family came in hysterical and crying
The old women had started speaking out on her lawn and they killed her dog
So traumatic for them
My son and animal lover still has anxiety over the memory

I am not aware of any gun violence that happened when I was a kid.

by RFK Jr.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · Sep 9

RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns to school and were encouraged to do so. And nobody was walking into schools and shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs.

"What the Heck Just Happened" with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social

This talk felt empowering & positive, which is such a relief after so much doom.

There has been a shift. They discuss when shifts in history have made a difference in the past.

I’m a progressive, I live in So Cal
I was annoyed at his podcast and I was enraged about his position on trans lately
My future support (28) will largely depend on his stance on Israel and billionaires
I think he was a pretty great governor
His Biden support made me super happy
I liked Biden a lot

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · Aug 14

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

From Twitter: David Oscar Markus & @domarkus
X.com
Dear @MuellerSheWrote :
There is no such thing as work release in federal prison, so your reporting is false. All you had to do was ask any criminal law practitioner, and they would have explained this to you.
I wish we had work release in federal prison — and I wish we treated people behind bars better than we do. How about you?
I'm surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine's transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee. The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal. But it's still prison.
And despite the soundbites, prison is a truly awful place.

My response on Twitter: Hello, Mr. Markus. Here is the BOP policy that says Out Custody is eligible for work details outside prison. Will you go on record that she will not be allowed outside despite her waiver?
Also, who authorized the waiver, and in exchange for what?

The BOP policy reads: ₽5100.08
9/12/2006
Chapter 2, Page 4
OUT CUSTODY. The second lowest custody level assigned to an inmate requiring the second lowest level of security and staff supervision. An inmate who has OUT custody may be assigned to less secure housing and may be eligible for work details outside the institution's secure perimeter with a minimum of two-hour intermittent staff supervision.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.
