if you control the police and do not have them arrest people for doing a thing (or god forbid, actively work to prevent an occupation force from doing a thing) then you are allowing it
Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I keep thinking about how important this is, and who benefits from the narrative that only a guy named Edward can be the hero who intervened to protect Jewish lives, not a guy named Ahmed
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

There is so much in the news cycle these days that the complete dismantling of the Forest Service -- so *our* forests can be auctioned off to Big TImber -- is unfortunately getting little air play. But if this happens, US landscapes may be almost unrecognizable in a decade, and never coming back. 🌍
Using an emergency declaration, Trump’s timber production executive order would ease environmental protections so as to greatly expand logging in the national forests.

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket

This is a Rule 8 dismissal, which is not common when you’re represented by a lawyer, but is very common when you’re a sovereign citizen suing without a lawyer.
This judge is treating the president of the United States as a pro se litigant.

A federal judge has thrown out President Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times.
The suit, he says, "stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements" of federal court rules.
It is "decidedly improper and impermissible."
