The utility of forced passed changes has been formally debunked. Who is still doing that these days?

Biden did a great job of restoring function to the status quo. The masses are ready for a big change to the status quo. When will the democrats realize that the voters don't want more neoliberalism done well? Also, Biden failed at the single most important task he had: Bringing Trump to justice.

I'm a software engineer and volunteer firefighter. I'm 47. It's not just my body that feels old when I go to a fire. My mind is tired too. Solving difficult problems makes your mind strong, but also wears you out. I can't imagine working into my late 60s. My mind is already spent

This was on reddit this morning. I'll update with the source if I am able to find it.
NEW: FBI reportedly contacting media outlets and influencers telling them to "back off" Epstein story or lose access to Trump.  <angry emoji> Mob boss extorts cops so they back off...  it never works.  Just makes you look more guilty...  which he definitely is.

Do you have any more info on the use of LAPD here? I think this is a potentially important development in anti ice tactics

It's the default algorithm. You can customize your feed algorithm, but most users don't even know this, let alone do it. The default algorithm seems to favor content from bigger users over smaller ones. 🧵(1/2)

I read a thread on reddit yesterday where people were complaining that there is no engagement on here for people who aren't major accounts. The only way for regular accounts to get engagement is to reply to major accounts. And that rings true. Nobody sees my posts unless it's a reply

Why are mayors allowing this? Why aren't mayors telling the police forces that work for their cities to treat people who show up without warrants to haul someone away like the kidnappers they are? The police work for the citizens of the city. The mayors need to make sure it looks that way!

Furthermore, local police should treat those who claim to be LEOs but refuse to identify or provide warrants as if they are attempting kidnapping. As it is right now, anyone with a costume can claim they are ICE and start taking people away to do whatever they want. Police should intervene.

The people who study this kind of thing say that 3% of the population engaged in a movement is enough for it to effect change. And since I'm on that... sign up for the general strike that will be triggered when 3% of us have signed up: generalstrikeus.com

And furthermore, the police in these communities should actively oppose ICE when ICE agents attempt to take people without proper warrants or without properly identifying themselves (kidnapping). The police work for us. We should not tolerate them working against the causes we support.

There's no reason why police departments of blue communities should be working for the fascists. Democratic mayors and city councils need to take control of their police. Police departments being more harsh with liberal protestors than they were with conservative ones should not be tolerated 🧵

Good for him for on pointing out the emoluments clause of the constitution. But if he's not willing to vote to convict in an impeachment trial over it, I don't care. If he's not willing to take actions to protect the constitution from Trump, then it's all performative and no substance.

Thank you I feel the same way about Gomez Adams! Pickles is the short version of his name... His full name is Pickles The Drummer The Cat (bonus points for knowing the reference). All he wants out of life is cuddles and he has no prey drive (see the pigeon behind him in the first pic I posted)

Jet engines are probably the big ticket item there. There are only three manufacturers of large commercial aircraft engines in the West and one of them is in Connecticut

Inflation was about 3 times as high a century ago, and twice as high about 45 years ago. Our recent inflation was A) caused by Trump's policies in his first term, and B) handled very well and kept to historically moderate levels Unfortunately, the people who need to know this will never believe it

There's a very good reason to allow felons to hold office. If felons can't hold office a corrupt government can make the opposition leaders ineligible for office very easily. Trump would just need to tell the DOJ to go after AOC on some manufactured charge, and then she'd be ineligible.

The decline of the US and the rise of the rest of the world in science has been going on for decades, but it's still the case that in most fields a disproportionate amount of the progress comes from US based institutions. Trump policies are accelerating the fall of the US in science.

It won't be long until the US is undeniably no longer the global leader in science. As an asteroid hunter this pains me greatly.

As a response to those that did shout pro Trump messages at us or flip us off, I decided to shout at them (with my shout honed by a decade of searching the wilderness for missing people, I can be very loud and intelligible at the same time) that we care about them.

I almost forgot to mention it because I crammed it in the middle of a busy day, but I went to another protest Saturday. This time on the bridge between Lewiston and Auburn. It felt good to see so many drivers giving us things up and honking for us. Only a few middle fingers.

If you like having new technology, you better get comfortable with having autistic folks in your society, because engineering and science are fields full of autism (I say this as an engineer who works in science)
