If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

if you are going to no King’s today, be safe and be mindful of your surroundings

shut off the biometrics on your phone and return it to just a passcode

Do not sit down if there is police or fascist violence

do not use milk to wash mace or tear gas out of your eyes ever. Only use water or saline.

Ive noticed "I dont know about that so I wont comment" and its various iterations have become a big strategy for Republicans, both elected and even the ones I (unfortunely) talk to.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.

The new WWE Senior Director of Creative Strategy will not only be using AI in WWE...

***He will also be acting as a liaison to The White House as Paul Levesque is taking on more duties with The Trump Administration***

There is no separating politics from WWE.

WWE is MAGA

Then. Now. Forever.

This appears to be legitimate so I'll repost it.

WWE is now using AI storytelling and will use it more and more now that Paul Levesque is neglecting his duties to try to get into politics.

So far the best it has come up with is Bobby Lashley (now in AEW) becoming Tensai.

WWE has a contract with Writer AI, a platform which has already been fed WWE content.

Cyrus Kowsari was hired last month as the new Senior Director of Creative Strategy. He had previously been a Producer for Buzzfeed from 2016 to 2022 and for ONE, the MMA company, from 2022 until last month. He was introduced to the creative staff by Paul Levesque.

In introducing him, Levesque said that Kowsari would lead WWE’s transition to AI based story telling and integrate AI into creative services like video and graphics. He said that this shift is inevitable when it comes to creative in pro wrestling.

Kowsari said he would both manage AI storytelling and be a liaison to the White House as Levesque is taking on more duties in politics in some form.

Thus far the AI software has come up with what one person with knowledge of the situation called absurdly bad storylines. They pitched a storyline where Bobby Lashley, who the AI thought was still with the company, could come back as a wrestler who was obsessed with Japanese culture and history.

The feeling is once bugs are worked out that AI will begin to have major impact on storyline direction.

Another promotion previously tested out AI for creative help and suggestions and found it couldn’t understand pro wrestling and storylines.

- WON
