My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Wowza: Supreme Court of Hawaii bashes the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court: "The Court that now defines federal due process does not honor the work of 1954. It revives the work of 1857. The work of 1896." 1954 = Brown v. Board; 1857 = Dred Scott; 1896 = Plessy www.thebulwark.com/p/a-blisteri...

β€œThe Trump admin seems hellbent on secretly paying out Trump’s allies, including the violent insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on Jan 6th. There is a law in place to prevent this secrecy, & the Treasury Dept needs to follow it.” β€” Donald K. Sherman, CREW President & CEO 🧾 t2m.co/UY5tKd1p

CREW sues Treasury Department for concealing January 6th settlement detailsΒ  - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

The Treasury Department is illegally concealing who is receiving settlement money from its Judgment Fund, obscuring whether January 6th insurrectionists are receiving payouts.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver@lastweektonight.com Β· 2d ago

This week’s main story is about how police use surveillance tools like cameras, microphones, license plate readers, β€œcell site simulators,” and the practice of β€œpredictive policing,” to create a world that has been lovingly described as β€œBig Brother on steroids.” Full segment at the link in our bio.

This supposed 'deal' doesn't prevent payouts to violent insurrectionists in the future. It doesn't prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose.

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

Few days ago a massive and well coordinated campaign started in Moroccan Facebook/Instagram with message "Spain opened the borders, they let everyone in" The one responsible is unknown and even if we find the bot networks they might be 3rd world hires, a standard practice for many governments 🧡 1/6

ok i'm going to regret asking this but can anyone direct me to a not-racist or, failing that, least-racist explanation of what the hell is going on with Ceuta?

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

"Atlanta has experienced far and away the largest influx of ALRPs in the country, with over 5K various #Flock cameras now blanketing the city. Yet as data released by the FBI shows, the city’s massive web of #surveillance has had virtually zero impact on the APD's ability to solve crime" #deflock

Flock's business model is a threat to our constitutional rights. Join the growing push to kick automatic license plate readers out of our communities.

Get The Flock Out

Automatic license plate reader (ALPR) companies like Flock Safety are quietly trying to build a nationwide mass surveillance system. If there are Flock cameras in your city, they are tracking, logging, and sharing your movements without a warrant. But we're not powerless. More and more communities are rejecting these creepy cameras β€” and yours can be one of them!

If drivers had to deal with the crap and other items that cyclist regularly deal with, scaled up to match the size of their lane, they'd be singing a different tune. E.g. Road cones 4 ft across 6 ft tall piles of lawn trimmings that take the whole lane Traffic construction signs 2 lanes wide

My favorite thing is when drivers yell at me to "get in the bike lane" on a road that has no bike lane

Apparently, it’s not that important for Trump to have an Attorney General. Certainly, not if it conflicts with his ability to protect himself from tax audit or investigation, or to reward friends, cronies and insurrectionists with taxpayer funds. It’s always about him. Never about you.
