It's so fucking infuriating that hundreds of academics are doing an entire discourse about the academic freedom to do literal race science and meanwhile the US government is putting out lists of words you can't say in academic research and universities are purging Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Ok, there has to be SOMEONE else out there who just remembered that Hayden Panettiere appeared on DPRJones' annual charity livestream, only for the community to eventually figure out that the "Hayden" was actually an imposter, right?

Canada is seeing a rollout of Flock cameras, but the scale and rapidity of the spread of them in the US is alarming. Like we have ~600 ALPRs nationwide compared to over 130,000.
