Permitless carry doesn’t make the law simpler. If you choose to carry, you are responsible for understanding when force is lawful and when it isn’t. Training isn’t about permission. It’s about preparation. #Utah #ConcealedCarry #CCW #OpenArmsTraining #2Aforall #WeKeepUsSafe

Easter is coming... 😔🐇
Graphic with text that says "five things that rabbits are not.  1. Toys
 2. Easter decorations
 3. “Starter pets” to teach children responsibility
 4. Low maintenance pets
 5. Inexpensive pets.


Rabbits are a significant commitment! They live 
10-12 years and they are delicate animals with highly specific dietary needs. They also require a lot of room to exercise and play. They’re prone to many ailments which require expensive specialized vet care." There are photos of three rabbits down the right side of the image.

Excellent episode from Robert & Karl. Training standards are only part of the problem; the rot within cop culture runs deeper. Grossman, sheepdogs, warrior cops, all that toxic masculinity and emotional ignorance perpetuates cycles of abuse and trauma for cops and the public.

It is important to keep in mind that Bovino leaving is a good thing, but his replacement could be worse, someone competent could be next. Celebrate this win, but brace for the aftermath.

What I can say from living through and studying the last quarter century of revolutions is that are two ways basically guaranteed ways to start an uprising: raise the price of food 500% or kill people in the street one at a time over and over and over again. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Strikingly, of the 45 Minneapolis Police officers whose videos we've just released, more than 24% have killed community members while on duty, and a large swath of other officers had numerous accounts of egregious actions against the community. 🚔

I know everybody is doing their best but these pieces always get the same thing wrong: OpenAI is not sending money to Oracle to send to NVIDIA. Oracle is self funding or having other parties buy the gpus to provide the compute. OpenAI isn’t sending anyone billions! They don’t have it!

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle
One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing,enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

As a heads up this is disinfo. The rifle used is suspected to have been a 30.06. Turan (the company that makes the pictured bullet) only makes up to 5.56 rifle caliber rounds. So unless the feds are wrong about the caliber of the rifle they found (unlikely) this can't be an explanation.

We don't really know anything about the shooter. Entirely possible this was a veteran I guess but nothing I've seen so far suggests that over, for example, a competent hunter. Could be an AR but just as likely it was a bolt action in something like .270 (in other words, a deer rifle)

if there are reprisal terrorist attacks in the U.S. they are less likely to backed by Iran than they are to be independent actions by individuals unconnected to any state. think the San Bernardino ISIS shooting this is just how political violence works today, it's nothing specific to this conflict
