🤔Um... This is exactly the America I grew up in. Do y'all know how many times I've been stopped by the cops for no reason and searched?

Ok, so she's 4'11 and under 100 lbs. I was 4'11 once, but today I'm 6'3 and over 300 lbs. What exactly is the height/weight cutoff where it's OK to pull me over?
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

The fallen sons of Eve
Even the smell of roses

But more than mind discloses

state rep. karina villa is on scene, per live feed, and used a bullhorn to call out to the person agents are ostensibly looking for.
Happening right now. Community members in Elgin, IL are in a standoff with Feds who are trying to abduct their neighbor.

On this day in 1941 my great uncle hurt his knee quite badly while playing softball, an injury only notable because he was in the Navy and stationed in Pearl Harbor, HI. Months later he was startled to be awarded a purple heart for his injury received on December 7th.

Cisgender women keep winning and confirming that all this hatred and exclusion of trans people is almost solely the domain of morally reprehensible men (a techbro owns this league).

This wouldn't even be a gendered hobby if certain men weren't incredibly creepy about women wanting to take part.

“Microsoft has quietly set a new date for Teams starting to share your location with your boss. ‘When users connect to their organization’s WiFi,‘ Microsoft says, ‘Teams will automatically set their work location to reflect the building they are working in.‘ The idea is others can easily find you.“
microsoft promised to "empower every user" and google to "revolutionise knowledge and technological innovation" but in reality what they have given us is an invasive surveillance dystopian nightmare hard to escape
