Greg Bovino, other federal agents investigated for Operation Metro Surge actions Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said her office is already investigating 17 incidents involving potential unlawful conduct by federal agents.

Glad to see them finally step up. Your local and state police can and have always had the legal authority to file charges against federal agents even when the crime is committed on-duty and a part of that duty.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies β€” the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

a thing that doesn't really get enough discussion about platner is that, even if you assume the latter here is true (and i do), it's going to make him strongly susceptible to malign influences if he gets elected to the senate; the framework to think about him isn't fetterman, it's gabbard

Thousands of pollution incidents in England downgraded without site visit, data suggests Exclusive: Whistleblower figures show large rise in β€˜serious’ to β€˜minor’ downgrades based on water company evidence

Corruption in England's water industry and its regulation

2,778 serious pollution incidents reported in 2024.

Officials downgraded 2,735 (98%) to minor incidents.

Only 496 attended before downgrading; the rest were deemed minor.

Regulators collude with industry, inflicting harms to people.

They still want us to think cars equal freedom. But car DEPENDENCY is the opposite of freedom.

Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices.

A chart showing traffic tickets issued in San Francisco, with a sharp drop that began in 2014, hit bottom in 2022 when just a few tickets were issued, and has now rebounded almost to 2014 levels.

Of course. Why would you invest in soft power?

It just helps in the kind of warfare that:

a) Russia has shown it's actually good at;
b) Russia is waging on the West already;
c) The UK/NATO nuclear deterrent is useless in preventing;
d) Costs a fraction to fund compared to military hardware.

Trump's justice department knows they will not be able to convict Don Lemon, the former CNN journalist they arrested this week for covering an anti-ICE protest.

But the point is to send a signal of intimidation to all journalists covering the regime.

Complaints about traffic are basically:

Dont believe eye witnesses.

This is exactly what I worry about. We got our kids safely into our house for tonight after ICE drove by 3 times today. But we may need to evacuate the kids in the morning. #FuckICE

I keep saying this. No postponement for war. We have always had elections during official declared wars and police actions. No mechanism to suspend the electoral process.

Do the Dutch cycle in the snow?
Do the Dutch cycle in the snow? YouTube video by BicycleDutch

Some municipalities do: youtu.be/ViaDwkkXzC8?...

People had to clear the sidewalk in front of their home. This rule was abandoned when appartment buildings were built and it wasn't clear anymore who was to move the snow in front of those. Now you can walk on the cleared cycle paths.
