“Mexico’s national security law forbids foreign agents … from operating in the country w/o prior authorization by the government. American officials working directly with state-level authorities w/o federal approval would be in direct breach of the Constitution.”
Seems sub-optimal, this situation.
NYT email screenshot" "BREAKING NEWS Kenny Holston/The New York Times Fed Chair Nominee Asserts at Hearing He Won’t Do Trump’s Bidding Kevin Warsh told senators at his confirmation hearing that he would be “strictly independent” on decisions related to interest rates and that he was unbothered by President Trump’s calls for lower borrowing costs."
Trump's Fed Chair nominee will not answer a simple yes or no question re whether Trump lost the 2020 election and yet here is the framing from @nytimes.com
Wall Street Journal headline: "Alan Dershowitz: Why I'm Becoming a Republican"
Higher acceptance of sex crimes, same reason as everyone else who announces this
Hamilton, the musical, was state-sponsored propaganda.

Tossing teenagers in prison because the government failed to regulate corporate America's faulty and dangerous products is not a new practice, but we don't have to keep expanding it.

As I read it, this bill would give a Class D felony to teenagers who make AI slop of their classmates.
If that's true, it's really bad news.
my angry post about this case this morning is now an angry article
Roy Anthony Scott was in a mental health crisis and called 911 asking for help
Cops came and killed him, & now the Court is casting doubt on whether the cops can be held accountable for his death

So many new resources for local police to support the violent attacks on immigrants
Joe Biden threw unprecedented amounts of money at police. More than TWICE what Obama gave them in the wake of the GFC.
Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris was a former prosecutor and Attorney General, she had a Sheriff featured as a convention speaker. Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.
Ignoring this is also contributes to people being able to float the idea the problem with the opposition to Trump is an unwillingness to exclusively call people “inmates”
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
"For the second year in a row, the annual Cinco de Mayo parade in Little Village has been canceled due to immigration enforcement concerns, organizers said."
"People are still avoiding public gatherings out of fear, organizers said, adding, “there is nothing to celebrate.”

We drove down to Springfield to engage our legislators to close corporate tax loopholes and raise revenue for education, health care, criminal justice reform, and environmental justice.

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016
wonder if something happened then?
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.
Ah yes I have complained of this before 🧵
