I mean, honestly, at least the Romans had a Julian and Augustinian period after their republic ended. We’ve just gone straight to Nero and Caligula…

So: young men 25-30 yrs of age are “boys”, who lack agency, but 16-17 yo girls are young women with agency to consent as an adult…..

Points for invoking the Albigensian Crusade travesty!

Q: How did they attack you?

ICE: They…they… DIDNT RUN AWAY! And…and…they … TOOK OFF THEIR CLOTHES!

GOP: [gasp]. That must have been terrible!

ICE: It was! We’re not used to looking at naked ADULTS!

Free speech is when Republicans can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/noup...

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Also, sounds like its time to give facebook the WaPo treatment….

Does she know what doxing actually is?

“Hi there! This is your AI shopping assistant. I see you’ve chosen that loaf of bread. Did you consider the Walmart branded one? It’s got 30% sawdust for more fiber, and it brings a higher profit margin. I’ve gone ahead and substituted it for you to make it easier.”

Spoiler alert!

He could not care less.

(I have no proof he’s not also an idiot, though)

Just as a reminder, there have been at least 5 major ceasefires between Israel and Gazan authorities since 2008. Each lasting a few months to almost two years (give or take some limited skirmishes). None have resulted in a Nobel prize. All lasted longer than the three days we have now.

I keep putting this up all the time but this is only a portion of what is going to hit when this bill takes effect. Look it up on @House.gov. read the whole bill it'll scare the shit out of you.

It’s interesting that the people promoting us having an artificial,online life with digital nice things are the same ones making it harder to do so in real life.

I mean, it’s literally his f*cking job to know and follow this stuff. Why do they let him get away with this crap? No follow-up?

It won’t stop if we start a shooting war, it will get worse. And if the good people start using violence, it will give the fence-sitters the excuse that ICE is just defending themselves.

Joe Bagga-Doenitz @baggajoe.bsky.social · 3d

At the first hint of a forceful response, Trump will go full on military action. That will be much worse. They are just waiting for the excuse. Follow Satyagraha

If you’re going to quote post, at least also post the source. In this case Salon.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

I just don’t get it. Is there a measles lobby somewhere with a lot of money?
