One of Pepper the borrowed dog's neighbors offers free whistles in a Little Free Library.

Tucked inside a sandwich bag are the whistle and lanyard, along with signal protocol documentation and a wallet-card list of constitutional rights.

The face-eating leopard grows fat:

Brazilian influencer who defended US immigration crackdown arrested by ICE

Trump supporter Júnior Pena falsely claimed migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, were ‘all crooks’

"On Saturday, Pena was himself reportedly detained and sent to the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. One friend told the local newspaper the Brazilian Times that Pena had been taken into custody after missing a court hearing. The detainee’s lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, was reportedly trying to resolve the situation and prevent him being transferred to another state."

With the complicity of Democrat politicians who truly don't care if you live or die, the fascists who control the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

crimethinc.com/bodycams

The purpose of ICE is to terrorize the general population and impose a totalitarian regime through ethnic cleansing. Reforms and compromises are underhanded attempts to pacify us while they advance further down the road to fascism. There is only one solution.

ABOLISH ICE! 🏴

A screenshot of a social media post, reading: Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem I just spoke with @RealTomHoman @ICEDirector @CBPCommissioner . Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis. As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country. The most transparent administration in American history—thank you @POTUS Trump.

Police get away with murder not because no one sees it happening, but because they’re part of a larger system that legitimizes everything they do.

A medley of state & local police officers arrested nearly 70 protesters late at night on Jan. 28 outside of the Graduate Hotel. The arrests followed the third noise demo targeting the Graduate, a chain of hotels run by Hilton, for housing federal agents.

re: Neil Gaiman's staging a comeback 🤢

in the absence of hard evidence (which is of course very common for sexual abuse allegations), how do we as a society navigate this without destroying people's lives and reputations over ... accusations we simply cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt?

There were plenty of people wiped out by the MeToo campaign as well and some of those later turned out to be complete lies.

It doesn't feel like justice is served either way

What we do know now is that he's likely a filthy little sex pest, but so are most famous people sooooooooo

I really don't get how government officials quitting in protest helps anything at this point.

So the only judges or prosecutors or mid-level bureaucrats standing between civilians and total authoritarian carte blanche are going to abdicate whatever power they have left? That seems like exactly what the authoritarians want!

That strategy made sense a decade ago, but it's become increasingly less admirable or, in my mind, effective.

I get them refusing to follow orders. That seems good. But then, like, refuse to follow orders and let them fire your ass. Make it their problem. Hell, even just showing up for work each day and doing absolutely nothing seems better than quitting in protest.

@JustinMac84 It's not exactly the same. It takes time and effort to fire someone. There's a paper trail of who did the firing. It causes confusion for the other side, a new situation where the onus is on *them* to figure out what to do. Often in such bureaucracies, firing someone could take weeks or even *months*. Months of delay is gold. And then there are opportunities to use the bureaucracy against the authoritarians with official complaints and lawsuits.

This is a fight of a thousand cuts. Of attrition and creating obstacles and of making people take responsibility and facing themselves with having to make decisions.

By making that decision for them, they've created an immediate job opening for another unqualified Proud Boys reject who will be ready to follow orders starting next Monday.

It is not the same result at all.

A thing I really love about Tepublicans, in America, aren't that they will fight and fight so hard for whatever stupid bullshit they care for. They don't give up. They don't take no for an answer. They try to sneak it in. They try to March it in. Whatever it takes.

Imagine if the Democrats fought so hard for single-payer healthcare? People might confuse them with actually carcaring.

@menelion @afilina @derickr I hadn't seen those (not a reddit user personally). I went there originally by recommendation from some people from work who have pretty heavy usage there... and from my personal usage (since Nov 2024) I've had zero issues.

i7-8700, 2x 1TB M.2 and 64GB RAM for €35p/m.. great deal for hosting a few "personal sites" etc.. YMMV of course.. but I have backups if needed.

#artificialintelligence #AI
Wow just wow. My daughters apartment complex switched over to an #AI telephone response system. Appalling is too kind of a word to use to express the horrible result. Nothing is working. Can't pay the rent, can't speak to a person, can't submit a maintenance request - nothing works. Calls go into a loop of offering assistance to find an apartment...and never offer anything other than offering to help - which it does not then provide any help or assistance. We are doomed as a society..
