#Syndicates
You can’t explore Enfys Nest without addressing the conditions that made her necessary and also exploring the level of desperation that her family goes through to take up arms against the syndicates and the Empire that Enfys **KNOWS** is supporting them. By Solo, the coaxium is to fuel a revolution!

daily reminder that dems are racist capitalists pigs too and they all suck the same money dick as the repubs. it's two fascist parties in a country that's 20 organized crime syndicates in a trenchcoat. you are being controlled like cattle.
of all the things about this deal that are pissing me off this might have pissed me off the most

Left underdiscussed: all the neighborhoods that went for Cuomo yesterday are strongholds of ethnic (not just Italian) organized crime syndicates.

That's an insult to crime syndicates. They're a cult.

I mean this is actually one of the great strengths of atproto in the context of blogs imho.

Oh, I can run my own blog and own all the content and publish it in a way that automatically syndicates it to platforms with discoverability features...

Guardian - House Democrat accuses Trump’s DoJ of ‘gigantic cover-up’ over shut Epstein inquiry

Transnational organized crime syndicates neither like nor follow the rule of law.

#WIPSnips 4 November 'steel'

In The Many Shades of Midnight, Alyas has a matching sword and dagger made from Isyr steel, an extremely valuable metal. If weapons were characters, these blades could be my MC. They cause so much trouble.

Sarah Kendzior writes in detail about the international crime syndicates weaving through all this: "Hiding in Plain Sight" and "They Knew".

Without television, except CSPAN, newspapers, syndicates, wire services, or radio ("the press"), the options do seem a little thin. If mailing "Understanding the IRA" to every household is too extreme, maybe a podcast?

@bellingcat.com CEO @eliothiggins.bsky.social:

Democracy relies on:

Verification
Deliberation &
Accountability.

IMO, all have been heavily degraded by hybrid cognitive war tactics from global organized crime syndicates who leverage communications technology and crypto.

We should've really followed in our predecessor's footsteps and created more crime syndicates

oh huge issue, money used to go abroad very regularly but one aspect of the Xi era has been to try and target that with some success, the price of getting money out has, I hear, gotten much steeper. a lot of it traditionally goes through gambling syndicates in Macao which were also targeted.

Associates of the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese crime families syndicates allegedly backed a multimillion-dollar poker con that uses elaborate technology to cheat unsuspecting players — and brought rare, unappreciated light to the mob's shadowy operations, officials say.
NBA gambling scandal shows that La Cosa Nostra is still alive and well
A string of federal operations decades ago nearly decimated New York's major crime families, but they haven't completely gone away.

Even in a vacuum, "Venezuela's spontaneously loses leadership/government is toppled" is a DEFCON 2 level security event for Colombia. They already struggle from the instability brought on by the movement of drugs, arms, and humans along their borders via crime syndicates and militias.

6/6... logistics and personnel eaten by that task likely allowed for the continued operation of, and expansion of operations by, pirates and criminal syndicates. Which sets the stage for the post-Endor universe where those groups are still essentially unchecked.

Yeah I mean, organized crime syndicates don't typically do background checks for obvious reasons

the Syndicates failure to use Coypright Magick (and other legal avenues) to shut this shit down shows they dont *really* dislike it as much as you claim

i mean, i know you are the PR team and all, but there is that old saying about pissing on a leg and telling em its raining

I’m ignorant about the economics of doing this, but I don’t understand why groups of creators don’t create Salon-like syndicates that allow consumers to consume multiple creators’ content for a single price.
