You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

It's not a coincidence that #trump starts pushing for direct control of the #elections almost immediately after this special election result.

It’s wild that Nazi shock troops are moving through our country like business travelers, booking hotels, renting vehicles, and popping into restaurants to sample the local fare.

Shouldn’t there be barracks and troop transports and mess halls/field rations? Is this a “homeland security” […]

The Great Financial Crisis was papered over by increasing the money supply and lowering interest rates. Then COVID made the music stop by making inflation real and noticeable.

The job losses are real — but the AI excuse is fake
Both of these statements are true: Across the whole US economy, there’s not really a visible effect of AI on hiring and job mix; Some sectors are absolutely devastated directly by AI. But also: Nobody cares if it was technically AI or not that took their job; The wider economy is visibly screwed already. Even […]

The new TikTok is shadowbanning and silencing critics of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism. Since the US-Israeli takeover of TikTok, there have been endless complaints about censorship, banned content and banned content creators.

And any search for the word “Epstein” apparently may get your profile flagged for violating “community guidelines.” It has been hemorrhaging members who are going to the new UpScrolled as an alternative.

Reform are now saying that Black and Asian and other ethnic minorities are not necessarily British, even if they were born here.

Think about that.

This is literally one of the first steps on the road that leads to fascism and concentration camps.

How can #loops #video work over the long term? Storage and bandwidth costs for all that video will add up quick. How will it be sustained? For both the project and for individual servers.

I don't count it as a victory for #Minnesota or a concession by #trump to remove #bovino from heading those #ice operations. That is still a consequence-free action. It's like the catholic church moving a pedophile priest to a new parish. It's cover. It's protection.
