Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion

ICE AGENTS KILL DOG
DURING UNLAWFUL SEARCH, REFUSE TO RENDER AID, AND LEAVE WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES

weratedogs This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE.
Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

People often cite the initial lines of the Declaration of Independence but rarely the end:

"we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

They tried that in June in Denver but they were nowhere near the real protests in time or space so it was easy to distinguish.

Here in Denver though most of the crowd is white, the recent marches have been lead by Native Americans and Latinos. We are all in this together.

The Strid, near Bolton Abbey is a dramatic, narrow stretch of the River Wharfe where the broad river squeezes into a tight, moss-covered channel. It looks deceptively peaceful, but beneath the surface the water surges with astonishing force. The banks seem close enough to leap

Ironically many of the AI generated websites were already stealing content from other websites.

You are a villain of the worse kind. A well-worn, well-read book is not the same as an abused book. Abused books have shorter lives. I have books that are 100 years old, some 150 years old. They are still around to be read by me because their prior owners treated them with respect.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

No. There is no basis for invoking the Insurrection Act.

That was in June. They got a lot of complaints. They did not do it again during the Labor Day protest.

Every morning we open a window to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and share some of its special qualities, like this view of moorland at Oxnop in Swaledale.

No. The protests sre not scheduled for nighttime for lots of reasons. You need to go home and stop causing trouble at night.

We are united against kings and dictators. Together, we will peacefully mobilize, yet again, in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power—it’s in our DNA as a country.
