Just feel like sharing one of many studies showing militarization does not reduce crime or enhance officer safety, but it does erode public support for police.

"Militarization fails to enhance police safety or reduce
crime but may harm police reputation"

If you’re new to Bluesky, the only thing you need to know is that we go by prison rules so you have to go find the biggest account that you can and kill them to gain respect

Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

I'm going to repeat this.
The Olympics should NOT be here. Any country that sends their athletes is endangering their people.
Any country sending their people to the World Cup here is endangering their players.

Boycott, do not attend. Louder? BOYCOTT, DO NOT ATTEND.

Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

I mean - Violent crime is at historic or near-historic lows in SF. Also, property crime, endemic in SF for decades, has dropped precipitously. There were 35 homicides in San Francisco in 2024, the lowest tally since 1961.

So I therefore conclude…

@mbenioff.bsky.social must be I’m the #EpsteinFiles

At some point people decided they were gonna wear the worst parts of themselves as badges of honor. When they should be ribbons of shame.

I’m tired of people like Stephen Miller. I thought we decided no psychopaths in govt back in the 1970s.

I’m tired of this Haldeman/ Liddy/Goebbels love child.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Trump (1) reveals he doesn't know what habeas corpus is and (2) punts to Noem, who famously revealed her own ignorance at a Senate hearing when she defined habeas corpus as "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.
