My comment was a play on the fact that most people call cops pigs.

Cleveland Rapid Response could use donations if you can.
https://rhizomehouse.org/mutualaid/ is a good list of people you can help.
Shit is going down in Minnesota but they’ve never been more organized than they are now. Only we keep us safe.
If you want to help you can donate to a few groups.

11·2 days agoI mean, that’s been on the platform for over a decade. Not a lot has come of it. If they’d actually built up any of this into the power grid, it wouldn’t be something the right wing oil and gas lobbyists could politicize.
Look, if we fix the bridges, roads, ATC towers, staff them, nationalize the toll roads, inspect the gas pipelines, replace the lead pipes, reform the corn subsidies, schools, fire stations, rural hospitals, nursing shortage, elder care, vaccine crisis, citizens united, dark money, and pedophile ring then what will the Democrats run on next year huh?
With the Buc-ee’s avatar I’m assuming you’re around TX. Holy shit, I used to weld in the oil patch. I tell you what. You’ve never seen crumbling infra until you’ve watch em hook up a 2 million dollar primary stage HRSG to a pipe that got laid in 1922… It was literally leaking out of the pores of the pipe.
Huh, surprised the Trump admin and Senate didn’t cut funding for these. Hopefully it sparks new interest and we can get the next generation to vote out the NIMBYs and get us some real high speed rail. US air travel is a fucking joke, it’s getting to where I’d rather take a train. I mean If I’m gonna be stuck in Denver because I missed a connection I’d rather be at the train station able to go to a hotel and see the town, instead of stuck in the airport, with a 2 hour gated wait because of TSA and the dangling rotten carrot airilines call standby.
But they’re making us safer Jo! Don’t you know that when the TSA scans your genitalia when you fly to grandmas it makes us all safer. What do you want? You want the terrorists to win?

They’re making up lists. Act accordingly
This is exactly where I’m at. I’m withholding praise until they actually do their fucking job.

Thought this was a still from Robocop for a second.
Any IR blocking lenses will work. I got some cheap wayfarer knockoffs and I like em ok. But I like cheap gas station shades.

Oh, yeah so all public forums are archived and time stamped and usernames are compared against others. Also it’s not just scammers that look at or buy databreaches

This isn’t some mass revolt. This is a subset of the oligarchy trying to get Trump out so they can get back to getting maximum wealth from our labor. These two are doing the literal minumum of their job description and our government is in such shambles as to make them look like heroes. Massie and Ro Khanna both have taken dark money.

For all the people that are misreading what I’m saying. This shouldn’t be the new normal. Prosecuting sex trafficking rings, pedophiles and CSAM material was not political 4 years ago. The Biden administration dropped the ball on the Epstein files. Politicians are not your friends, they’re not supposed to be charismatic movie stars. They’re supposed to listen to their constituency, respond to the needs of their community and keep the status quo. These two are the only ones who remembered the first two. This is good. They’re doing their job. I’ll celebrate when something comes from all of this. But otherwise, don’t let this be the new normal. Demand more of your representatives. Otherwise we’ll end up with even worse ones.
Literacy in America is the lowest in generations.
Civics courses are no longer required.
Third spaces are disappearing.
The public forum has been commodified in a digital space where your attention is sold to the highest bidder.
We are our own panopticon and now with GPT image and video generation reality can easily be warped.
Not to mention underfunded social systems that are letting our youth rot on the vine.
Politics are not bigger than politicians. Billionaire oligarchs are crushing us using the levers of government through dark money bribes (sorry book deals luxury trips) to have the politicians legalize their greed.
13·2 days agoWe’re gonna need a lot of folk from the communuty watching theirs and their neighbor’s polling locations just like any other fledgling/failing democracy
Here’s a search that’ll hopefully help you find where to volunteer for your local elections if you have the time. There might be a general strike that day so hooefully you can get the day off, or atleast leave work early. If you can’t afford the time, maybe encourage a cool older relative. But only if they never ratted you out to your parents.

Make sure you update often though. Youtube/Google/Alphabet are playing whackamole.
You can use yt-dlp -U to update if you are using the release binaries
If you installed with pip, simply re-run the same command that was used to install the program
It’s a lot more locked down now, so you can’t just curiously fuck around with it and see what you can do without breaking it
All the more reason to learn more cool shit
Hence my surprise. But you wouldn’t care would you Archer? It’s your privilege to ride as a rail baron in the Tunt Family private rail cars.
Actually, I do remember you having some trouble with Canadian separatists while you were doing it. Do you still have contact with the Nova Scotia Liberation Front? We could use their help in the upcoming border wars the Trump administration is sabre rattling about.
