Blue state vs red state policy & how it shakes out - points from @carmitage.bsky.social in this post:

Red policy leads to early death and more gun violence amongst other things. Blue states also carry red states, so they need them yet we're trapped in red policy.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

ICE came to MY town today. They kidnapped people. They were at a mall, they were at a car wash, they were cruising for street vendors. It’s real, and it’s everywhere.

Thank you for this.

This is how I feel......a lot

@aftynbehn.bsky.social Aftyn, I encourage you to contact SMARTelectionsAct@gmail.com about the election. I don't believe you lost, and the data looks hinky. Please - you only have a short window to contest.

these are the people who’ve created and are perpetuating the genocide. They think all the land should be Israel both from a political and Religious perspective, and anyone who gets in their way should not exist. They are MAGA. They were on the fringes for a long time, and now they’re mainstream.

It is a declaration of war against the American people.

Good luck enforcing the law after you gutted it in the public square.

If the 14th Amendment is struck down, we would no longer have a duty to disobey only unjust laws.

We would have a duty to disobey the law, full stop.

Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment is one of the foundational pillars of our country’s legal system.

An attack or repeal of any part of it, is not just a violation of our rights.

It is an attempt to revive the Dred Scott decision and to declare the Confederacy as the winner of the Civil War.

Without Birthright Citizenship, you too could be ripped from your home in the middle of the night.

Without the Equal Protection, the Privilege and Immunities and the Due Process Clauses, you and everyone you love could be declared subhuman and stripped of your most basic and fundamental freedoms.

It is already happening to my neighbors and friends, and now will be happening to those of us who dare speak out, too. What is everyone waiting for? Would you rather be dragged to your death in chains, or go down fighting?

Get a rake: Dispatch from suburban America's forever war Why is it so hard to ban gas-powered leaf blowers, our most hated appliance?

I remember a while back reading about a contest in which an old grandma with a broom and rake cleared yards faster than a crew with gas powered devices - AND made herself healthier in the process, instead of sicker!

Please hold strong, EU!

We love you for holding the line against deliberate baby murder by withholding necessary innoculations.

Why is there a question mark after your title? Idon't think there's any question in anyone's minds.

An additional 500 National Guard members have arrived in Washington, D.C., bringing the total deployment to 2,750 troops, according to the National Guard and bringing the cost to taxpayers to roughly $1.6 million per day.

I wish the NationalGuard were doing what it swore an oath to do. Protect Americans against all enemies, foreign and especially DOMESTIC!

It doesn't matter that some judges are "not having it". Rulings against the fascist regime are having little to no actual effect.

We need to gather and storm the gates of this concentration camp to save these people.

Bradley committed horrible crimes and must be held accountable. He was a coward.

It's so hilarious when demented ignoramuses try to make fun of brilliant, principled men! He truly doesn't realize what his paralyzed, spray tanned, slack jawed face looks like to normal people! And his insanely garbled pleas for attention are even funnier.

“Simply calling them terrorists does not make them so. It does not unlock some hidden lethal power.” Retired Army Lt. Col. Daniel Maurer, a former Judge Advocate General, on legal questions surrounding the September 2 strike on an alleged drug boat during which a second strike killed two survivors

Too little too late. How about next time, people get a clue BEFORE they vote instead of after?

Yes, amazing, isn't it? We have let empty-headed children and billionaire hoarders take over our country.
