important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

My constant go-to is Strom Thurmond, defender of Jim Crow, opponent of the Civil Rights Act, who volunteered to fight the Nazis in WW2, and this was pretty typical for people like him.

This obviously points to cash flow problems, right?

Strom Thurmond, defender of Jim Crow and segregation, opponent of the Civil Rights act, took a break from elected office to volunteer to fight the Nazis.

No service into or out of union city, and there is no single bus bridge. Riders have to take one bus from South Hayward to Union City, and a second bus from Union City to Fremont.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

The only thing wrong with Gavin's Prop 50 gerrymander is that there are still any Republican seats left at all.

he would not turn into a horrible far-right reactionary, even if he still is conservative. (He's a trump-blank-blank voter, I think)

My mom was a big time money maker, and had a first marriage fall apart because her ex was jealous of her success. She married my dad because of his endless ability to be happy for her success. He was/is conservative, but I firmly believe that this specific trait was a perfect indicator that

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

After being asked what if she is running against a Democrat: "Democratic voters won't vote for a Democrat who is courting Republican voters" easy answer. It's probably not true but it's way better than "I'm going to make sure I'm running against a Republican" and storming out.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"
