Clever that the "transgender" part of the story missed every news outlet *I* looked at this story on. (TBF, not that many.)

Sitting in my favorite diner in the best shopping area around enjoying the view of the hill.

looking out a window under a porch cover. Diner has aUS flag flying. Over several cars in the parking lot, are 2 vertical ad flags for a thrift store & the tattoo parlor. Across the street is a produce stand with many pumpkins outside. A big wooded hill looms behind the scene, fall colors starting & fog steaming up.

Fact:

Automation of manufacturing took jobs from blue-collar workers. AI now gets the white-collar ones as well.

Breaking news: The DOJ placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they filed a document in court that referred to the Jan. 6. attack on the U.S. Capitol as a “riot” carried out by a “mob,” two people familiar with the matter said.

Two U.S. prosecutors suspended after describing Jan. 6 attack as ‘mob’

The suspensions come in the case of a 2021 Capitol rioter who faces sentencing for unrelated weapons charges.

This is just another reason why people can’t keep believing the lie that compliance will save them. It does not matter how well behaved you are if the people coming after you don’t care about the law. Fight back and help others when you see ICE attacking them.

Joseph Cox @josephcox.bsky.social · 6h

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

1. This will be a forced labor camp; 2. Utah is already planning to make it easier to commit people to it.

Brian Goldstone @brian-goldstone.bsky.social · 7h

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

The first year that Trump was in office, I sent Melania a message, urging her to read this book. Clearly, the country would be in a better place had she read it and then acted on the advice it gave. Still available at AMAZON.

Cullion 1. A base, despicable , or vile fellow; a rascal. A rude, mean-spirited person.
