At Protests, #Guns Are Doing the Talking
Armed Americans, often pushing a right-wing agenda, are increasingly using open-carry laws to intimidate opponents and shut down debate.

I do not like that this needs to exist, but I'mma boost it until it's not. Do likewise, as you will.

This is very cool.
A new, modernized National Archives Catalog just launched. The new Catalog’s focus on scalability will allow the agency to reach its goal to get 500 million digitized pages in the Catalog by September 2026.
The fully redesigned online public access Catalog makes accessing the agency’s holdings more intuitive for the user and improves the search experience by generating faster results.

Future Americans will look back on this as the era when billionaires ruled U.S. elections. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/billionaires-provided-15-percent-funding-midterms

If folks want to prevent these outcomes, for example to preserve a system where everyone logs on through small communities where they know the admin and moderators personally, the governing principles need to be put in place now. The technology won't do it by itself, and in fact it may create conditions that favor the opposite outcome. /fin

I could hear this crowd, this mob that had gathered outside....And so this woman collects us and takes us all to the office...
And one guy says, 'Maybe what we're going to have to do is let them hang one kid while we get the other eight out. At least we'll save eight.'
And then another white gentleman - I believe to be assistant chief of police of North Little Rock, stood up and said, 'No, look, I'm a parent, I'm not doing this. I'm getting them all out. We're going. We're going to do it.'

A single innocent life saved is priceless. Always rescue the suffering. You may just be rescued too. Dogs and their rescuers are sacred.

In 1938, kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick wore slacks to court to testify as a witness in Los Angeles, CA. Judge Arthur Guerin was appalled & rescheduled the case, instructing her to “return in a dress.”
The next day, Hulick showed up in slacks again, declaring, “I will stand on my rights…I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”
She was sent to jail. https://web.archive.org/web/20210315143406/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-11-15/from-the-archives-wear-slacks-to-court-and-go-to-jail #HistoryRemix

Elon Musk just banned the culture jamming anarchist publication CrimethInc. from Twitter after a request from Andy Ngo, the fascist activist who's beloved by multiple mass shooters.
CrimethInc. has had a Twitter account since 2008, has never violated Twitter policies, and has never been suspended until now.

CNN and others have been reporting that Putin met with the mothers of soldiers. Dennis in Ukraine is reporting that the internet has exposed some of these women as propaganda plants.

As you read more about Tump having dinner with Holocaust denying/white supremacist Nick Fuentes remember two things. 1. Trump has Secret Service protection so his SS had to vet Fuentes + Trump had to approve him being there. 2. Kanye West the open anti-Semite was also at dinner

I refuse to accept an economic system in which school teachers pay a higher tax rate than billionaire investors.
