Missouri House Democrats plan to continue sit-in over weekend Missouri Democrats have surpassed 24 hours of their sit-in on the House floor protesting a special session.

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either.

This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem

This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now

It was mentioned by some local stations yesterday

Trying to stop new maps and stop the MO GOP making citizen initiatives harder to do.

@democracydocket.com y'all did an article on this yesterday - did you know about the sit in?

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.”

Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.

We tried to warn you. If RFK Jr.’s lips are moving, he’s lying.

I’ve been following this man for years—it’s a fact.

The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.

I don't trust Republicans to read the whole list. If Marjorie Taylor Greene is offering to read it, it's so she can skip any names *she* doesn't want to release.

Today marks a year. A year that I have been stuck in the same fucking group text thread with a bunch of people I have never met. I don't have a lot of real regrets in my life, but not signing up for Google Voice sooner is one of them.

The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime.

A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering.

Oh for sure. Anyone and everyone who was responsible for the arrest happening. Cop, Cop's Supervisor, Cop's parent who should have taken their kid to therapy but clearly didn't, Police Commissioner, DeSantis... All the way to the top.

People who get arrested for something this stupid should be legally allowed to punch the cop that did it when they get out.

This is SO STUPID. How can anyone, even a cop, feel good about themselves for arresting a guy for having chalk on his shoes?? This is the stupidest timeline. This is the stupidest country. I'm ready for the next giant meteor, we deserve it

We won’t notice it at first

Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected

Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year

But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths

All because of two men

Trump and RFK, Jr

The thing about Robert E Lee is he should have been executed in front of the gutted husk of a torched Virginia plantation mansion, and that should have been his official portrait, and we should have put it on our money.
