Washington state legislators‼️
Please publicly address why you think a bill (SB 6239) that forces survivors and their stories behind closed doors, is a good call?

An "accidental" tattoo is getting a tattoo in your late teens/early 20s that you think says "love" in a foreign language but actually says "cunt"

That's cringe but we all grow

Not getting a nazi tattoo.

Russia continues targeting urban areas far from active front lines.

The pattern is consistent:

- pressure civilians to shape political outcomes.

Kyiv was attacked again overnight.

Residential buildings in Darnytsia and Dnipro districts were damaged.

This was not a battlefield strike.

It hit civilian neighborhoods.

Here’s what happened:

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Rep. Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in the audience of Pam Bondi's House DOJ hearing to stand if they have still been unable to meet with the Department of Justice.

All of the survivors in the room stand.

Jayapal then asks Bondi to apologise to them. She refuses.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Peter Thiel thinks most humans are not worthy to live. He wants everyone controlled.
I am so glad people are catching on to this. No, a surveillance state isn't about finding your cute lost puppy. No one is building camera networks for that. Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the broligarchs are shooting their shot at a corporate techno state. www.ms.now/opinion/ring...
Opinion | Ring is using lost dogs to make the surveillance state adorable
The same technology the Amazon-owned company uses to find lost dogs could easily be turned against their owners.

Was it a slow week in headlines or was I just kinda tuned out due to personal obligations?

look you actually can't tell how brilliant someone is by how they communicate via shorthand. you should judge someone's intelligence holistically, and when we do that for Jeffrey Epstein we can honestly say the man was pretty stupid
Noam Chomsky and Stephen Pinker say Epstein was an intellectual force with a mind like steel trap and then his e-mails read like the ending of Flowers for Algernon.

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns

the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this
My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.

Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

Love those LinkedIn notifications on how I “work incredibly hard.”

No, I’m pretty sure I barely get out of bed for roughly 30% of the year

I keep seeing dumb shit posts about how Democrats aren’t doing enough to stop republicans.

I’m sorry few understand basic civics but republicans have a triumvirate in government and both chambers of Congress, so blame the real bad guys.

That’s all, dumbfuck (thinking of you, Adam McKay)

I'm hearing about this in a few states. My big question is whether it is preparation for a crackdown on resistance to ICE operations, or a preemptive crackdown on anti war protesters after the planned invasion of Greenland
my friend is a postal worker in minneapolis and they all got letters at work today to show to police to prove they are essential workers authorized to be out. i guess we're to the "papers please" era now officially.
