There IS a way back for the MAGA folk: change their ways. Change and show they've changed in how they behave, what they say, over time. That's always been an option for them. They just don't want to do it. They want the easy out of the Confessional: mouth the right words, say a few Hail Marys,...
I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side.
But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Agreed. I write complex enterprise software for a living, have for 35+ years, and no way does a system crash delete data like that. You lose data that's being processed at the moment, not data that's already been written out to storage and certainly not data that was stored 2 weeks ago.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.

As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

Anecdote: something I've noticed increasingly during Trump II is the number of young (under 25) white men who want to file a lawsuit against their employer for things like "a woman laughed at me at my job" or "my female coworkers are always talking to each other and then go silent when I walk by."

I'd note that you can get full-face respirators at most hardware and building-supply stores, or at any industrial safety supply store, or on-line. 3M makes good ones, obviously, and the filters you're looking for are N95- or P100-rated particulate filters and multi-gas/vapor filters.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Fun little #Scifi story stolen from #Tumblr about an alien captain that takes on some human crew and then gets reminded that humans are deadly and vicious predators not to be taken lightly.
It makes me curious on how an intelligent herbivore species would mesh with humanity.

Agreed. @adamsmith.house.gov , sign it. Yes the GOP will block it. Make them block it. Even a lot of GOP voters are angry about ICE's antics. The more the GOP covers for her, the more pressure those voters put on the GOP.
Hi, @adamsmith.house.gov. Look, we all know that this is a dead end. Sign it anyway.

Personally I think when a bank does this they should be legally required to inform the account holder exactly _what_ activity caused the lock or closure and exactly which policy or term it violated in what way.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

This is why cryptocurrency is always a scam. Because, even on the remote chance the currency itself isn't, the people creating it are grifters who'll grab your money and run the moment it looks like the easy marks are gotten.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.
