@acid195x @mattvanswol They're using it to accuse innocent people of crimes they didn't do. If like getting arrested, just turn yourself in but most people would rather not.

A civilization that incentivizes the destruction of its own children has abandoned the most basic baseline of intelligence: the instinct to survive.

@matthewstoller Federal Reserve was never independent. It has always been under the direct control of the US Congress since the passing of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913

@the_transit_guy Great idea, except for the cost and destabilizing the energy grid

250 years ago today, on June 29, 1776, New Yorkers looked out at the water and saw a nightmare on the horizon. The British fleet had arrived, and so many ships filled the bay that witnesses said the masts looked like "a forest of pine trees" growing out of the sea. The timing could not have been more brutal.

This was the empire's answer to the rebellion, and it was overwhelming. The first wave of around 45 warships and transports dropped anchor off Sandy Hook and Staten Island carrying General William Howe and roughly 10,000 troops. Within days it kept growing. Then his brother Admiral Richard Howe arrived with more. It would eventually swell into one of the largest seaborne invasion forces of the entire 18th century, hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of professional soldiers and German mercenaries, aimed at one city.

Now sit with the timing. While that forest of masts was filling the harbor, delegates down in Philadelphia were in the final days of debating whether to declare independence. They voted for it on July 2 and signed off on the wording on July 4. So at the exact moment America was being born on paper, the most powerful military on earth was already anchored off its coast, getting ready to strangle it in the cradle.

The people of New York understood exactly what they were seeing. Alarm bells rang, panic spread through the streets, and soldiers sprinted to their posts to stare at a force they had almost no hope of matching. Washington's army was outnumbered, outgunned, and about to get badly beaten in the battles for New York that followed.

That's the part that gets lost in the fireworks every Fourth of July. Independence wasn't declared from a position of strength. It was declared with an enemy armada already sitting on the doorstep, knowing full well what was coming. They signed their names anyway.

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th.

"Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications." -- EFF https://t.co/4vVQcYPDct

The bill has bipartisan support and large corporate donors, who all have a vested interest in eroding your privacy and freedom of speech. Similar bills have already passed in other countries and individual states and led to ID scanning mandates, faulty AI moderation, the removal of encrypted messaging, etc.

If passed, some platforms will require ID scans from all users, some may try to deploy faulty 'estimation' technology that will randomly trigger and cause your accounts to be either permanently deleted or locked until you fork over an ID. These systems have been a disaster where deployed in other regions and led to many account losses and data breaches.

@ThaaatColin @alex_fasulo Owning land isn't a license to break laws

[Bort M @bort17]

@RupertLowe10 But then who would run the government

[Bort M @bort17]

@GabeGuidarini What unions are they busting? What strikes are they breaking?

[Bort M @bort17]

@JDVance Weird to start a war then complain about violence

[Truthstream Media @truthstreamnews]

Does anyone really believe that a privacy and freedom murdering Orwellian hellscape that turns us into food for the machines is being erected around us for our safety?

Lol. LMAO even.

@FenixAmmunition You can tell this is total bullshit because X doesn't even allow users to filter accounts by country.

[Bort M @bort17]

@measureduntil @bobbyfijan haha good point. although it's a much bigger difference going from 1 to 0 than from 2 to 1.

@WeTheBrandon What exactly were boomers supposed to do differently to keep the ladder down?

@AndrewKaufmanMD Also there is nothing stopping flock customers from backing up that location data indefinitely.

[Bort M @bort17]

@alexsands_ This is long overdue. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out, especially given developments aren't going to stop generating more traffic.

@andrespandas @underscore_qua @CompletedStreet IBC allows single stair for 3 story buildings with up to 4 units per floor. This building looks like it satisfies that.
