A new investigation from Bloomberg using exclusive #DDoSecrets exposes how debt collectors and the housing industry take advantage of people

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Been working on it.

""We cannot control who sees what, we cannot see what users are doing, and we cannot verify that the software itself is secure," the memo says."

Hey there, @nytimes.com. The judge didn’t “decide not to immediately block.” She ordered a response from the government Wednesday and set a hearing Thursday. Let me know if you need help with this.

"it just feels like they are swinging a machete around wildly with their dick out. except it's our dick too. our metaphorical, collective dick."

Oregon AG with the reminder that the courtroom isn’t Storytime Hour. Judges expect facts, not fiction from would-be authoritarians.
