“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Troops. In an American city. Using full force.

Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Just came back from a trip abroad. Used @asklumo.proton.me before and numerous times during the trip to get ideas of things to see or do, historical background, etc. Very impressed. Was truly a travel assistant along our journey.

What did Google do? Gave them a verified badge. The moral of the story is that Big Tech cannot be trusted to curate these things - do the research before downloading.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Yes, Lumo has been out for a bit. Did you mean to put your comment in that thread?

If a company doesn’t have an AI offer at this point they are falling behind. At least Proton’s would be private.

Also, what AI was in this announcement?

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.
