Restructuring

If we were to double down on “States’ Rights”, the Federal government could become more analogous to the European Union.

The US is too big and has too many cultural differences to be run as it has been.

Were any of those other incidents documented with the level of video footage that Good and Pretti’s were?

Trump wouldn’t recognize an insurrectionist if one stormed the White House while he was in it.

This is a single-day event.
Consider it a test run, an opportunity for everyone to get their feet wet, to gain a glimpse of what they could potentially do without.

If this shit continuous, this precursor sets the stage for longer, broader strikes that will have a broader impact.

Only if it sells flesh toned couches with voluptuous features

How can I ensure any videos I record on my phone aren't deleted by the cops?

With reports that the witnesses in today’s murder by ICE were all detained (and their phones presumably confiscated), I’ve been thinking nonstop about if I were to record ICE or the cops doing something, how could I ensure that any videos I record are not able to be deleted, assuming my phone was confiscated? I’m talking ...

Lots of discussion around encryption states at boot / disabling FaceID

For iOS, Invoking the shutdown dialog (Lock+Volume) or activating Emergency Mode (Lock 5x Fast) puts the device into a “Lockdown” state where FaceID no longer works, PIN authentication is the only means to unlock the device.

I’ve seen photos with feminine appearing stature / eyes doing on the street enforcement, I would assume them to be in the extreme minority in that context.

There’s also back-end desk work where physical characteristics aren’t really going to matter.

LEBANON, Ind. (AP) — An Indiana homeowner accused of killing a house cleaner who mistakenly arrived at his front door was charged with voluntary manslaughter on Monday in a case that could test the limits of stand-your-ground laws. ...

He said he loaded his handgun, went back to the windows and saw the people “thrusting” at the door […]

He fired one shot toward the door […]

When told he had killed Rios, he put his head down on the table and said he didn’t mean for anything to happen to anybody.

The fuck did he think was going to happen when he shot at a door with people on the other side?

AI-Generated Sora Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook ( www.404media.co )

“Watch your step sir, keep moving,” a police officer with a vest that reads ICE and a patch that reads “POICE” says to a Latino-appearing man wearing a Walmart employee vest. He leads him toward a bus that reads “IMMIGRATION AND CERS.” Next to him, one of his colleagues begins walking unnaturally sideways, one leg ...

Stopped using Facebook over 10 years ago, but I’ve been back lately to check marketplace listings for a few items I’m hunting for.

Every now and then, I’ll autopilot into scrolling the main feed.

Within 60 seconds, there will be some suggested content of AI generated bait.

I’ve also had older family members sending “shocking” generated videos they came across on Facebook / Instagram, believing them to be real.

A more appropriate caption would probably be something to the tune of “we sure showed the lesser evil”

Wow, you got me all figured out from that one sarcastic comment! That’s a supernatural ability you got there!

The hostility is definitely going to work wonders sway people to your cause lmao

Not a liberal 🙃

Not chronically online with this account either

You might want to consider alternative interpretations of things people write / say before jumping to conclusions and filling in the blanks from your imagination.

Ooooh I get it now. My bad, I failed to assimilate.

“It’s like a war zone. There are times I’ve had to have a gas mask on inside my own home,” says a resident near the ICE facility under siege in south Portland.

Oregon is effectively “stand your ground” by way of not having a duty to retreat law.

Use of deadly force is permitted in response to a felony in progress.

Kidnapping is a felony.

It’s likely a matter of time, and the incident will probably be used to justify further aggression

Hegseth’s speech was met with a relatively muted response from the military brass. 

Trump took the stage after him, noting that: “I’ve never walked into a room so silent before.”

Probably because this meeting should could have been an email.

“Preppers” are not tied to one set of politics or another.

You’re describing an imagined caricature.

CascadiaRo ,

Still part of the caricature.

The notion that firearms ownership is a conservative / MAGA thing is also a farce imo. You don’t even have to go full leftist to find armed progressives.

Ultimately, there’s more to the “prepper” mindset than the catoonified arsenal of weapons for the zombie apocalypse.

Having a deep pantry is prepping.
Hell, owning a fire extinguisher is a form of prepping.
