If you send me a DM here, I won't be able to see it, because I'm not giving sensitive personal data to some random company for them to let it get breached. My DMs are open on Twitter, though.

Bluesky is now requiring 'age verification' in order to be able to access chat. The only way to do this is to give sensitive personal data to a third party provider in hopes they don't get breached. So fuck that.

Those who counsel docile acceptance of state terror, punctuated only by the odd non-disruptive symbolic 'protest', are giving Trump exactly what he wants.

'Gender Critical' transphobic hate group 'SEEN In Journalism' - run by ex-BBC journalists Cath Leng and Jo-Anne Pugh - claim they're "restoring accuracy and impartiality to media coverage of sex and gender"

So why are they using their X account to create a pile-on of a young trans journalist?

there's no such thing as "abusing a right" either you have rights or you don't

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 23h

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

a lot of these stories assume The Free Press is a business success. but is it? they generate a ton of subscription revenue but they spend so much that they needed to raise $15M last year. we can't see the financials, but there's a good chance that the operation is a money pit.

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.

What's also worth studying is how the Social Democrats in government came down harder on the communist community defence organisations than they did on the Nazis, thus facilitating their rise to power.

I can’t get over how beyond despicable it is to detain street vendors, people that keep our streets vibrant and safer because of their presence. Street vendors are some of the most vulnerable and visible yet we are being told their detainment is to keep us safe. Ridiculous.

Really, they've already got millions of Americans used to that. That's why there's been this bipartisan obsession with 'tough on crime' policies and related propaganda in the media going on for decades.

Walker Bragman @walkerbragman.bsky.social · 5d

They are actively trying to get millions of Americans used to the idea that there are some people in this country who simply need to be controlled, criminalized, and eliminated for the nation to prosper.

It’s dangerous. It’s a familiar tune. It’s ultimately cannibalistic. But it’s what we’re facing
