do... do people not realize that all major tech companies have law enforcement portals and LE liaison sections that streamline records requests and warrant service and returns? Every website has to work with LE at least some because its the fucking law. Elon absolutely knows this and he's mischaracterization it in the #twitterfiles for his bullshit right wing sycophants to rile them up.

1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.

2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.

3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.

4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.

Kevin McCarthy’s chances were never very strong after committing three huge errors going into this leadership battle. I explain where he miscalculated, misstepped and messed up, then plot some probable courses for what’s in store, in today’s piece.

@GreenFire We can't let the other Republican politicians distance themselves from Trump though. He's their albatross. They have to wear it to the end. If we don't make them own it, the next guy will be worse and & we might get a successful coup - they've had practice.

That bridge is doomed. As the Ukraine built UAVs get better and better, they are going to take that bridge out in a dozen spots some day soon.

@Left_Indy you're right we should just give up and let russia do all the warcrimes it wants.

Republicans also want to bring back a rule that allowed an individual congressman to insert an amendment in an appropriations bill eliminating the salary of an employee they don't like. The Holman Rule. They also tried to implement a rule against their staffs unionizing.

Good morning Resisters.

This one is my own picture. In front out by the road. I have red lilies that bloom first. Then the white ones. Last are the cream colored ones that have not done as well.

And it's thanks to this man and his team of lawyers that it's winning. Thank you Marc.

As I understand it, the official count is whole bodies recovered. Not counting partials and it does not matter how many are missing. I bet they wiggle out of paying death benefits on the missing.

Let the brave reporting and the dire warnings of these three journalists not be lost under the avalanche of distraction and fake reality.

Let their words be beacons to help the West see a clear path forward.

I believe those who possess words of truth in a time of mass deception are necessary.

I will never forget their work and their bravery. I will always cherish the decent.

I did not realize human life had any value in Russia. This is the place where they rushed conscripts to the front with no training and equipped with rifles made in WWI. Then when they die, the bodies are thrown into unmarked trenches or burned.

Wives of Russian mobilized men are asking to move their husbands to defense lines. They are saying the soldiers don't have proper weapons.

The value of human life in Russia keeps decreasing.
