Telling people "these reforms are basically free" is an argument I used to make and it is a loser on every level. People who support the police do not care about the cost. That's why the method must be "defund," not "use a smaller plate, it costs nothing."
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
Quick addendum on this: the one part of the left that truly understood power was ... unions. Union organizers were never under the illusion that they could sweet-talk concessions from bosses with the right framing. They dealt in power.
That's why the right killed them.
Not just that people focus on this, but they focus on it to the exclusion of almost everything else! Like the amount of f'ing language analysis from the left & academia *dwarfs* the amount of, say, *power* analysis. Y'know ... power? Anyone? Power?
I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!
not anymore. Not. Anymore. Though I never ended up in a boot π
lifeβs too short not to spend a little time harmonizing with other humans

It was about a year or so ago we were told we should silently concede them the right to illegally rendition people to overseas torture camps in the name of addressing immigration. That was the *savvy* political play we were told.
Anyway, here are the same ICE agents some may recognize from immigration court arrests (tall skinny unidentified guy plus his boss/team lead #7880, name still unknown) grabbing someone in the West Loop this morning.
If youβre roughly my age, itβs wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
no spark just 18 years of being forced to attend church/events that I got nothing out of and that didn't make any sense to me.
Hey, friends. My incarcerated friend, Jeremiah, would like some help getting Bibles into the hands of some of his peers. I ask you to put aside any negative feelings about religion you might have to help folks in the way they have asked to be helped. /1
people have got to realize that we are not getting Medicare for All without taxing the middle class. we are not getting free child care without taxing the middle class. we are not getting better schools and free college without taxing the middle class.
I make $95,000 a year. raise my taxes, please.
At first glance this idea may SOUND good, but the truth is that no poor person will benefit from it, middle class people will benefit from it only marginally, but the well-to-do would benefit substantially. This is a perverse policy disguised as a middle class cut

If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things.
People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are.
β’ Claude didn't choose to work for the military.
β’ Claude didn't build data centers.
β’ Claude didn't defund mental health.
β’ Claude didn't refuse security protocols.
Humans did.

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

Hello internet friends! I am working on a feature about the people making whistles and popup leftist supply depots and looking for people to talk to; sometimes casting a wide net yields people I haven't found yet! I am in touch with Bree and Courtney, but if YOU are a whistle logistician...
