I need to be able to pass a background check to keep my day job. Since this app is no longer filtering CSAM, using this app may cost me my job (and my family and freedom).

I will not be accepting that risk. Follow me elsewhere if you wish. Details in screenshots.

Which, why should it? If an elections official starts harassing or intimidating other elections officials, shouldn't they be prosecuted? Being elected/employed/selected as an election worker shouldn't give you a license to intimidate.

[David Colborne @DavidColborne]

In the amended filing, she no longer argues SB406 doesn't define "election worker" (she still struggles between the singular and the plural) — instead, she argues the bill fails to define the protected class in a way which protects the class from prosecution.

@votereese I accept corrections. Wouldn't be the first time I've needed one -- or several.

[David Colborne @DavidColborne]

@BobMooreNV Also, for operational security reasons, every employee (esp. if they deal with goods or money) should be out of the office for at least two weeks anyway, if for no other reason than to provide fresh eyes on whatever processes you regularly participate in.

Putin and Prigozhin could have avoided this if they just debated their differences on Joe Rogan’s podcast

I've been joking around about this, but the way you can tell the Supreme Court corruption scandal is genuinely scandalous and genuinely corrupt is by following the logic of their own jurisprudence on public corruption issues.

To all of my followers: Please take a minute (that's all!) to read this brief thread: Since we founded @TheNVIndy in 2017, I've heard from many of you how you have come to rely on our coverage of Nevada and the issues affecting our lives in #WeMatter State. Thank you.

@RalstonReports Well now I feel a little left out.

I've lived a lot of places, but old men meeting in a diner (or any place that serves coffee and eggs) to loudly complain about "the problem with the world today..." is ubiquitous.

I look forward to joining them.

The majority of human beings cannot fully go far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

This sounds incredible to those who can, but I'm pretty sure it's true.

In my latest for @TheNVIndy, I explain why, if the members of Douglas County’s school board want to serve as partisans in partisan political offices, chasing every hot-button issue as it surfaces in whatever media they consume, they should resign and run for a partisan office.

[Nevada Independent @TheNVIndy]

OPINION:
"The reasons stated by board members and public commenters to enact the policy in the first place don’t make any logical sense."

Douglas County school board chooses culture war nonsense over helping students

Hear me out:

$380 million to move BART to Clark County.

[BART @SFBART]

What does failure look like?

-No trains on weekends.
-No trains after 9 p.m. on weeknights.
-Reduced service to @flySFO and @IFlyOAKland airports.
-Some stations closed.
-Entire lines potentially shuttered

BREAKING: In a stunning move, JEB BUSH has announced his candidacy for President of the United States via a Microsoft Teams call.

Wow, a lot more vasectomies in the US after the Dobbs ruling. You could say it made a... vas deferens

Guys, give Twitter a break. What large-scale social media company could handle 150,000 simultaneous users watching a live stream? Okay fine, other than Twitch? Other than YouTube? Other than Facebook? Other than Instagram? Other than TikTok? Other than...

[David Colborne @DavidColborne]

Okay, fine, but what if America needs a Latter-Day Saint Salazar?
