To be clear, it’s correct that these few are not, apparently, “powerful” men. However, they are also not victims, and it’s highly unlikely that the DoJ has an open investigation looking into the people in this photo lineup, so they still were not supposed to be redacted in the first place. The law is very clear on who is allowed to be redacted.

A little context.

When contacted for comment on this story and told administration officials confirmed the document was a photo lineup, Khanna posted on X that “I wish DoJ had provided that explanation earlier instead of redacting then unredacting their names. They have failed to protect survivors, created confusion for innocent men, and have protected rich and powerful abusers. We must have full transparency and the truth.” He also thanked the Guardian for reporting on the connection to the photo lineup

Decided to go look up who this guy is.

In 2009, Wenders signed a petition in support of director Roman Polanski, who had been detained while traveling to a film festival in relation to his 1977 sexual abuse charges

This tech we need, is the leap from ICE to electric vehicles

Great news! I heard a rumor that they’re going to start making electric vehicles next week.

He’s the fucking PILOT, not your god damned nanny (no offense to nannies intended). Move your own blanky.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, noted the military principal that service members enjoy weakened First Amendment protections to preserve discipline in the armed forces, but said that no court had ever extended that doctrine to retired service members.

He said he would not be the first to do so.

This is so stupid. The fact that he’s retired isn’t the reason this should be thrown out.

When I was in the military (US), we were taught this from the beginning. My drill instructors weren’t exercising their freedom of speech. They were teaching us how to do our damn job! And the concept came up occasionally throughout my service, with supervisors reminding us that we weren’t supposed to follow illegal orders. Again. Not a freedom of speech issue. It’d be like a driving instructor telling students that they’re not supposed to run stop signs, and people being, “Oh, how brave! He’s exercising his freedom of speech!” Fuckin A!

I remember hearing about that one back in the day.

Well, then why did you retoricly ask,

When is the last time there was a wholesale makeover of police leadership? Never

The first paragraph is great advice.

The second one is such utter hogwash on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start.

• Police that are intending to disrupt a protest are planning and organizing in person, not over the radios. That’s just stupid.

• Regular police radios are frequently encrypted now. You can be damn sure DHS has been encrypting their radio traffic for decades. I can say, from personal experience, that my small hometown police started encrypting some of their radio traffic at least 40+ years ago.

• Even if it wasn’t encrypted, you have to know what frequencies they’re using. Scanners only check one frequency at a time for traffic, so it can take several seconds to get through all of them if you have a lot of candidates. This means that you will frequently miss the first part of a transmission, and occasionally miss the entire thing if it’s short. Once it detects something on one frequency, it stops there to monitor that frequency for as long as the conversation is going on. This means that you’re missing everything happening on all of the other frequencies you have.

• Lastly, RADIO SCANNERS DO NOT TRANSMIT! PERIOD. They are receivers, like the radio in your car that you listen to music local advertisements on.

It’s fairly obvious that the person that wrote that has never in their life used a radio scanner and has no idea how they actually work.

You don’t honestly think that DHS doesn’t know Lemmy exists, do you? If they’re monitoring Reddit, you’d have to be a fool to not realize that they’re probably here, too.

It’s definitely not clear. The reasons cited by two acts strongly suggest that they’ve completely dropped out of the entire tour. The others didn’t state reasons, so … 🤷🏻

My wild ass guess is that the rest of the cities are still scheduled just because there’s enough time that organizers think they can still find replacement acts. So, those tour dates may still fall.

Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.

My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

The link is to the comments past the end of the article. Just FYI

“You know what I mean!”

An actual response I got years ago when I made a similar point.

“No, actually, I don’t know what you mean, and I’m fairly certain that you don’t either.”

I thought this was just your humorously sarcastic take on the mindset of the people in the article. Then I read the article, and discovered it’s a verbatim quote directly from the article. There’s not enough room on my face for all of the palms this deserves.

How then could a department get rid of a bad officer before this bad behavior presents itself?

The public only becomes aware of the bad behavior when it goes too far and, for example, a cop unnecessarily kills somebody.

But that doesn’t just happen out of the blue. That cop’s coworkers and supervisors knew that he was reckless or emotionally unstable or whatever loooong before it got to that point. They need to step up before he kills somebody.

As long as no one being here illegally was voting,

Narrator: “They weren’t.”

there is no net political loss for Democrats.

Possibly the opposite. Many of those violently kidnapped and deported have friends and family that ARE citizens and CAN vote. Many of them probably naively voted R in the last election. I suspect many of them will not make that mistake in the midterms.
