It’s good to see that not all men are shitty. Two academics, Norman Finkelstein and Joseph Chaney, are in the Epstein files calling out who he is. 💪

We're working on live public transport schedules as the first step to public transport routing. Here is the helper web app that shows currently supported GTFS feeds in different countries and cities and helps to match bus/tram/train stops from OpenStreetMap.org with stops from GTFS: https://gtfs-osm-matcher.organicmaps.app/
If you are interested in public transport schedules in your city, please let us know about feeds for your place/country, and help by adding/editing stops in OpenStreetMap.org

The U.S. is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939
—six years into the Third Reich and just before the start of World War II.

What's happening with Section 702 of the PAT RIOT Act, which allows massive collection of Americans' communication because they get lumped in with the communications of foreigners.

This is great news! I don't live there anymore, but I hope more places follow their lead!

Another reason to not use #Google - they'll readily share your data with the government and give you minimal opportunities to respond. It's not worth it.

@26pglt I read the title and the fist sentence or two and had the craziest sense of deja vu. And then couldn't find the date and it deepened. And then I scrolled all the way down the page into links to other articles and started hoping real hard that this wasn't a new essay and I'd done all this before, because if this was new, I couldn't be more positive I'd dreamed it exactly.

Seeing 2016 was relieving. Nope. Not a computer.

Guess what? We're not computers. The framing we use to think about how our brains work is JUST A METAPHOR.

When we're trying to understand stuff, examining our assumptions is essential.

Are Privacy[.]com virtual credit cards legit? I remember reading about the service in Michael Bazzell's book "Extreme Privacy", but when I visited their website earlier today they have an accept/decline cookie pop-up.

And just not tracking cookies at all seems like that should be the way to go for a site called Privacy[.]com...

Anyone have intel on their legitimacy? Or are anonymous VCCs not really a thing and this is scammy?

A Salem woman, identified only as Maria, was injured when ICE agents racially profiled her, broke her car window, and pulled her out, leaving after discovering her passport. She suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff, and bruised ribs, and remains terrified to leave her home. Her injuries mark the first extensive harm to a citizen in Oregon linked to such profiling cases. Union leader Johnny Earl condemns the violence, emphasizing that immigrant workers, like Maria, deserve dignity and respect. Advocates demand accountability and justice.

See ALL that is in the "Epstein files," which is coalescing the story a bit, but that story was happening LONG before we knew the shit in the Epstein files and a TON of people saw it and nobody fucking TOLD it, because how dare we impugn the integrity of a Titan of Industry and Smartness Like Peter Thiel (who said out loud that democracy is anathema to freedom and single-handedly bankrolled a the senate campaign of an Ohio senator and later vp of the United States presumably to enact his, Peter Thiel's, ideology).

But even as the story coalesces to prove what actual leftists who read shit have been SCREAMING for twenty fucking years (or more), there's not one fucking medium with a major platform in the United States who will put it together in those terms, i.e. the terms of what it fucking IS.

Because, along the way, see, the cabal people became their bosses. Bam. Big twist, right?

"“Chain of Command” works as television because it’s well-researched, well-written, and powerfully acted drama. The performances are career-defining. The tension is expertly sustained. And by centering the shout over the confession, collective memory has repackaged it as a hero’s journey—the captain who held the line, the will that would not break.

"But “Chain of Command” works as psychoeducation because it externalizes the internal.

"Watching a man of Picard’s legendary mental fortitude be systematically dismantled makes visible the invisible and shows from the outside what the target experiences inside. We see a competent, intelligent professional losing his grip on reality under sustained assault—and we understand that the loss is not his failure but the predictable outcome of a specific type of abuse."

With the dawn of what would be our 250th year anniversary, we all need to look seriously at what it will take to recover from the Orange Turd. He has destroyed the Constitution and the 2 other branches of our government.

There are 2 giants in Constitutional law alive and well able to help structure a modern Constitution, Professor Laurence Tribe and Dean Erwin Chmerinsky. I'm sure there are qualified others but we should recognize the obvious.

❗️ Concerning: Northern Ireland is following England and Wales in allowing police to use facial recognition to generate biometric matches.

The Irish police are exploring possibilities that live facial recognition programmes across the UK have to offer.
