I’m just that guy… fighting fascism in my own way. I grow vegetables, brew my beer, forage fungi and bake bread… might add chickens to the mix… I occasionally post about stocks. Slava Ukraini

I really feel like it should be bigger news that fibreglass is in IV saline bags in the US. This isn’t a situation where you might get a little sick. Fibreglass going directly into your veins will kill you. IV saline is used for almost every medical procedure. This is unconscionable:

Historic opioid settlements were supposed to be a lifeline for underserved communities. But much of that money is flowing to law enforcement. More than a dozen agencies have used opioid settlement money to procure Flock cameras and other AI-powered automated license plate readers.

Who is Hasan Piker and why should I care? I’m supposed to not notice the entire GOP and SCOTUS covering up for a rapey president destroying democracy and the rule of law and engaging in scams and war crimes because of some rando I’ve never heard of with a podcast?

Since I praised my colleagues at NPR News for doing stories that might displease the Administration while under threat from them, I should and will extend the same admiration to the people at ABC News. abcnews.com/US/family-al...

Fun fact: Garrett Langley has his house blurred out on Google Maps. That's right, the CEO hellbent on invading all of our privacy, values his own privacy. Real "Mark Zuckerberg putting a webcam cover on his laptop" energy. www.businessinsider.com/flock-ceo-dr...

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

In Anthony, New Mexico, ICE goons pulled assault rifles on an unarmed family, aiming weapons at women filming on their phones and children still weeping from being pepper-sprayed for daring to ask questions. ICE and HSI’s sickening excuse for terrorizing kids? Officer safety and an imminent threat

Trump doesn't want to interfere with the money laundering and other corruption he's come to depend on. "The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to scale back scrutiny of the shadowy shell companies that criminals use to launder money and traffic drugs."

Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act. Trump vetoed it. Congress overrode his veto on a bipartisan vote. So Trump has decided to simply not enforce the law. I do not understand the role of Congress anymore. I guess they just make suggestions?

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.

“is the federal government assisting iran in their attacks on dem run states” is a legitimate question that needs to be asked

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w ago

Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
