Hello!

[dizzy! @dizzydizzydazed]

this is an absolutely absurd way to apologize for leaking the personal information of all of your customers and not telling them!!!

if you have @Mintmobile, all your acct details minus your credit card were leaked yesterday in an app glitch that logged ppl into random accts

A week or so ago I was talking about how we basically live in an Oligarchy. This really kind of furthers that opinion I have. A judge approving an email address as a proper way to serve someone. And approving a case over what appears to be hearsay and violating his 1st amendment.

“If you want a living wage, get a better job” is a fascinating way to spin “I acknowledge that your current job needs to be done, but I think whomever does that job deserves to be in poverty.”

in america, you're allowed to chase down a black child over something he didn't steal, shoot him, leave him to bleed out, and be found not guilty. but if you're a black student with a self-defense claim against a white student, they purposefully keep black jurors off your case.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

"The regime found a fresh place to plant its culture war—the food on our tables. Late last year, the USDA told states they couldn’t get federal food money unless they first signed a loyalty pledge to follow Trump’s rules on “gender ideology,” immigration, and who gets to play in girls’ sports.

Sign the pledge, or watch funding that feeds 39 million Americans dry up.

Twenty states and DC refused, and took the regime to court. On Friday, federal Judge Myong Joun blocked the entire scheme.

New York Attorney General Letitia James put it plainly: “We won a court order protecting billions of dollars in USDA funding.” She vowed to keep fighting to “stop the federal government from punishing our state for refusing to bend.”

Trump’s message was simple: obey, or let families go hungry. A judge just told him their dinner isn’t his to take."

Moving to NYC has made me extremely paranoid about two things I had *never* given any thought to before: ticks and bed bugs. I always wondered if my paranoia about bed bugs was overblown BUT MAYBE IT’S NOT HIGH ENOUGH BECAUSE WTF

I don’t think in America’s history, including the one that was a child molester, there has ever been a more treacherous speaker of the house.

This is what Carney is trying to force in every aspect of our lives.

GenAI has a fundamentally racist bias and we know it. It will only be used to further marginalize already oppressed groups in Canada.

Don't wait until it affects you personally to oppose it

No to GenAI

I don't give a shit about phones but once you let this pass they will come for laptops and PCs.

Karmelo Anthony just received 35 years. A 19 year old Black kid is now facing a sentence that will take most of his adult life.

In the same state, the officers who killed Jordan Edwards, Atatiana Jefferson, and Botham Jean received less time combined than this one teenager will serve alone. That is the pattern.

When the defendant is a Black youth, the full weight of punishment drops. When the defendant wears a badge, the weight gets lighter.

You do not have to believe Karmelo is innocent to see that something is deeply off. One young man gets 35 years while those trusted with a badge keep most of their lives after taking Black life.

Remember his name and remember this number. Karmelo Anthony. Thirty five years. Let that sit with you.

In slave codes, whites received minimal, if any, punishment for killing enslaved people, while enslaved people were also not allowed to hit white people or testify in court. Slavery is with us still.

[Dodge This Security @shotgunner101]

People keep failing to understand this is all tied together. North Korea does this too....

Between this, all the en mass surveillance, id verification/doxxing, client side scanning and push to backdoor/bypass encryption shows where were headed.

A Catholic high school in Louisiana agreed to a massive seven-figure settlement in a lawsuit alleging child sexual abuse by school staff.

The settlement was filed in court a few days before jury selection, which effectively cancels what would have been a very devastating public trial for one of New Orleans' most prominent Catholic schools.

Jesuit High School's former president confirmed during a sworn deposition that at least 9 of his colleagues (mostly clergymen) were credibly accused of child sexual assault.

Another case involving a different victim and the same school is expected to go forward on September 21st.

AI for the poor, actual human teachers for the rich. This is a class issue and we need to recognise it as such, in order to fight this effectively in schools.
The rich wouldn’t accept this for their own kids!

Buried in a DOJ court filing on Friday is the part of this story that hasn't gotten enough attention.

The Department of Homeland Security is now exploring coordinating with the USPS to monitor mail-in ballot flows, identify anomalies, and generate "authorized investigative leads." The postal service - created by Congress as an independent entity - is being evaluated as a surveillance and investigation tool for federal law enforcement, applied specifically to Americans who vote by mail.

That is a separate track from the voter eligibility list story. Both are running simultaneously. The March 31 executive order requires states to submit lists of voters who have requested absentee ballots for federal eligibility approval before those ballots can be sent. On May 29, USPS began drafting compliance plans. Election officials in California and Wisconsin have already documented slower ballot delivery times since the policy changes began.

The NAACP sued Thursday, arguing the new rule violates a 2021 court-enforced settlement in which USPS agreed to protect mail-in voting and prioritize timely ballot delivery through 2028 - a binding legal commitment the agency is now moving to undermine. A federal judge in a separate case has expressed being "very concerned" about the harm the order could impose on voters.

The American Postal Workers Union's statement named what this actually is: "The Postal Service serves all Americans - regardless of party, religion, or race. It is not a tool for politicians to pick which Americans get which benefits." That sentence is a legal argument and a civic one. The postal workers who sort and deliver ballots in Elkhart and Fort Wayne and rural Hamilton County are being asked to participate in a process their own union has called unconstitutional. That matters.

A couple years ago I started rethinking boundaries as actions rather than points to be verbally communicated and it seems to work waaay better. And then I realized we’re actually constantly teaching people our limits through our actions and those actions are actually our true boundaries. Verbalizing boundaries is a beginning phase to having boundaries. It’s really more for the person communicating them than for the person they’re communicating with. It gives that person a chance to hear themselves say how they should be treated and what they should do if they’re mistreated. The actual act of setting boundaries is when we respond intentionally to mistreatment (decreasing communication, not discussing certain topics, possibly leaving the relationship entirely). For the most part, people who are regularly disrespecting you don’t deserve to know your next move.

something deeply and unspeakably sinister about this thin, wealthy, white woman looking for any possible opportunity to collaborate with a state committing genocide across at least two states

What’s insane is that the German feels more safe to drive across the south than i do as a black American southern woman.
