Tides of Time

@tidesoftime.bsky.social

Determined to fight MAGA/fascism in every way I can, in hopes that I live to see the US become a place where EVERYONE has rights, respect, and opportunity. I find solace in books, creativity, computer games, historical research, and small things of beauty.

Yes, Stephen Miller's cruelty is bad enough on its own. It's beyond the pale. But he's also cashing in on his own cruelty. Do not lose sight of the corruption and moral rot of this regime. www.commondreams.org/news/stephen...

Markwayne's not the sharpest knife in the drawer (in fact, there are sharper teaspoons.) He needs to have things explained to him, ideally in crayon. Or maybe a very simple picture book explaining what happened at Nuremberg.

Dems won both chambers. Markwayne Mullin’s answer? Deportations continue. Full stop. His lawyer calls oversight “political shenanigans.” Translation: they’re not scared yet. Subpoenas change that. Hearings change that.

The struggle is not simply to defeat one authoritarian leader, but to dismantle a system that makes authoritarianism possible and to build a world in which justice, equality, collective freedom, and human dignity become the foundations of democratic life.

So, we’re trying to get the Epstein redaction training videos from the FBI in court, but they argue that showing the trainers’ faces is a privacy violation. While I disagree, we could definitely concede to the FBI applying a cat filter.

I just found this quote and you'd better believe I'm quoting it ALL. @muellershewrote.com you want to tell the nice people whose faces FBI should replace with cats?

The government further does not explain why it cannot by use of such techniques as blurring out faces, either in the video itself or in screenshots, eliminate unwarranted invasions of privacy. The same teenagers who regale each other with screenshots are commonly known to revise those missives by such techniques as inserting cat faces over the visages of humans. While we do not necessarily advocate that specific technique, we do hold that the government is required to explain why the possibility of some similar method of segregability is unavailable if it is to claim the protection of the exemption.
