Every now and then, I look at the news, at the open crimes and corruption of the current administration, at the ways they are actively and intentionally making the country worse, making people's lives worse, and think, "we could just not do this."

Without accusing Abughazaleh of doing a corruption this is exactly the sort of thing we ban prophylactically to avoid corruption.

This feels like a skeet you could get a lot of use out of.
It did not "go viral". It was intentionally filmed and disseminated using a network of coordinated bots, amplified by an algorithm designed to spread this kind of content quickly. This was a harassment campaign, intended to silence everyone. Call it what it is.

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

The ghouls who run Google (just to pick one example) aren't victims of the tides of technology and economics: they wrecked Google on purpose. They had a choice, and they made it. This is happening everywhere you look -- knowing, affirmative decisions to turn everything into shit.

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

As a union man myself, I want it to be one way...but it's the other.
The history of american labor is disproportionately white unions continuously choosing racism over growing labor power
American labor reliably chooses to really fuck themselves in the future to save a few jobs today.

There's no firm burden of proof for "high crimes and misdemeanors," but it's properly closer to a preponderance of the evidence than proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It's not a criminal proceeding, nobody's life or freedom is in jeopardy. It's an employment review. Likelier than not is sufficient.

There was a time I kinda thought this but I now really do think the movie is actually about a boring guy encountering literally evil and satanic rapist murderers and deciding not to do anything about it bsky.app/profile/psga...
It clearly alludes to the devious sex elites are up to, but Eyes Wide Shut is more about a character study through Tom Cruise’s character and how that relates more broadly and sociologically in a gendered and sexual context.

I'm a millennial who grew up with early digital tech and loved it, I was a tech optimist for so long, I would in a tech-adjacent role, and what finally made me a tech critic was just watching and experiencing what these companies actually do. It is demonstrably causing a lot of real harm.
