I think it's amazing that we somehow fixate on the horrors of overseas prisons and jails here in the United States.

I'm not seeing any national press on the priest that was shot in the head with a rubber bullet as yet and I don't love that.

One of the most nefarious actions that actually takes place on a regular basis is that laws & rules meant to protect those historically violated by our status quo and the individuals upholding it are weaponized against us.

It's also why I think Ethics should be required continuing ed for lawyers.

Like on its own, it's simply sloppy as shit.

In the context, it's sloppy as shit *and* indicative of a pattern of people who don't give a fuck and don't know enough to finally hire a person who does.

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 6h

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

I genuinely don't think we're contending with or accepting just how bad things have become, and just how much danger we're in.

Fundamentally I think people are expecting that normalcy will somehow reassert itself, and that's just not going to happen here.

you'd think Democrats would realize that effective messaging can shift public opinion and electoral outcomes after watching Republicans wage relentless and super-effective propaganda warfare on the nation's dim electorate for going on five fucking decades

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
