Cara needs your help. We have been scraped a third time. This is now a targeted attack meant to cause artists pain.

Scrapers know we're a volunteer project with no financial means to respond. So they say it's legal, believing themselves untouchable.

We're taking action. 1/

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

HE MADE HIS GRANDSON PERFORM ORAL SEX ON HIM DURING A CRUISE TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to make as many posts as I have to go make sure this information goes viral.

Ron DeSantis appointee and former Republican state Rep. Michael Caruso has been arrested on FIVE felony charges involving the alleged sexual abuse of a child under 12.

Kidnapping.
Lewd molestation.
Lewd exhibition.
Luring a child.
Child abuse.

And here’s the kicker:

Caruso previously supported Florida’s brutal new penalties for people who sexually abuse children.

The call keeps coming from inside the damn house.

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

Angie Nixon Just Gave Democrats a Lesson in Fighting Back

“If wanting your neighbor to afford their insulin is radical, then call me a radical.

“If believing a mother shouldn’t have to work three jobs to keep a roof over her family’s head is extreme, then call me extreme.”

Nixon was outspent roughly 16 to 1 and still won Florida’s Democratic Senate primary by 12 points.

Then she looked directly toward November:

“Ashley Moody can call us whatever she wants. But in November, she will call me Senator.”

This is what fighting for working people sounds like.

This might be the best case to ban all ALPR Cameras after flock cameras just ruined an innocent Florida woman’s life.

Cops used one ALPR hit to pin a triple-fatal hit-and-run on 23-year-old Lindsey Isaacs. Seized her undamaged black Durango, claimed “damage,” then arrested her 6 months later after she sued to get it back.

She sat in jail 13 days facing life in prison.

They ignored the maroon paint transfer, the partial plate that didn’t match, the airbag that never deployed, and witnesses. Just took the first Durango Flock flagged.

7 months of hell. Charges finally dropped when they got the actual driver.

[shelby @thetrueshelby]

Imagine having to pledge allegiance to Israel before you can get an Arkansas state contract.

Sarah Huckabee’s administration requires state contractors to certify they aren’t boycotting Israel and won’t in the future.

Yes. Really. These are the actual state contract forms. 🧾

My name is not raising your gas prices.

My name is not the reason we’re in an illegal war.

My name is not the reason you can’t afford your healthcare.

My name is not the reason that you can’t afford your rent or your insurance.

[dei youngboy @AntifaScapegoat]

When Abdul took over the Detroit Health Department, the Health Department also absorbed animal control duties from the Detroit Police Department. After doing so, Abdul oversaw a 50% decrease in euthanasia at city run animal shelters. Don't let this AIPAC slander campaign work.

“Do You Support Israel’s Right to Exist?” Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK

Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point:

“Do you, or do you not support Israel’s right to exist?”

If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map.

But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument.

Number one: Right to exist where?

Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders.

So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law?

So, right to exist where?

Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from?

States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries.

The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
What happened to their “right to exist”?
People have rights, not states.

And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist?
Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map.

The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.

Just this once again, all of the funds from the game goes to a complete hag who's money goes directly into oppressing an already oppressed minority.

Fuck Harry Potter and Trans rights are human rights!!👏🏳️‍⚧️

If someone told you God whispered in their ear 3,000 years ago that all of your stuff actually belonged to them, and that they had to drive you out of your home and take it for themselves, you'd call the police because you're talking to a dangerous psycopath.

[theleahfiles @leahfiles]

Fun Fact: The DEA's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigated Jeffrey Epstein under Operation Chain Reaction for drug trafficking, prostitution, and money laundering.

Out of it came a 69-page memo from May 2015 naming Epstein and 14 associates tied to suspicious wire transfers. Marked unclassified.

Senator Ron Wyden asked for the unredacted version. The DEA was ready to hand it over. Then Todd Blanche personally blocked it. Todd Blanche then dismantled OCDETF entirely. The same unit that had been in existence for 43 years. The same unit that caught El Chapo. They no longer exist.

Todd Blanche is a pedo protector and every single one of you who voted to confirm him are complicit with his coverup if you ask me.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

A video recorded at Slayter Creek Park in Anna, Texas (~40 miles north of Dallas) reveals that 8 government Flock surveillance cameras have been installed directly facing a kids' splash pad, playground, and skate park. Parents are raising serious privacy concerns, questioning why automated license plate readers are aimed at children wearing swimsuits and areas where families change, rather than at the parking lots. Original video/coverage by Marztrip to raise public

[Orwell Day @OrwellDay]

Flock is the fox guarding the henhouse.

More Flock cameras at kids splash parks, this time in Slayter Creek Park in Anna, Texas.

[Zara Quinn @_Zaraquin]

A president who refuses to send aid to states that didn’t vote for him, is a literally enemy of the state and the nation.

[Josh Brooks @F530Josh]

Did a bit of research on this yesterday.

This shootout happened right in front of a Flock camera.

There are 17 other flock-style cameras within a one mile radius of this event. The police have zero suspects, and have made zero arrests almost four days later. Some are owned by Motorola, some are owned by Flock Safety, and some are owned by Axon.

@Flock_Safety and like-minded systems are not about protecting citizens or enforcing the law. They are an attempt to nationalize the HOA system to increase non-tax related revenue from minor infractions in complete violation of every American's 4th Ammendment right.

Your local government doesn't seek to take criminals off of the street. It seeks more money from your wallet now that taxation has reached its natural cap, and the "ALPR" system is how they've elected to increase revenue from fines.

This will become more insidious when city governments start selling off that revenue to foreign nations for fast budget bumps, like when Chicago sold their parking meter revenue over 75 years to Abu Dhabi in 2008.

With a government run surveillance system this large, it should be impossible for crime like this to go unpunished for longer than 12 hours. Since we are not seeing that level of security, we should all believe instead that the system is not about security at all. City and state officials pushing ALPR cameras need to be removed from their office by any means nessecary.

I don’t usually get involved in political stuff, but some things need to be said.

Spider-Man and Stan Lee would never support ICE.

Not now. Not ever.

Fuck ICE. 🖕
