This is the volunteer firefighter conundrum. People think they are covered because eventually people show up but they don't realize that the service they are getting isn't the same level.

I do some of the largest scale mutual aid work on the planet. You absolutely cannot mutual aid your way out of state capacity.

You can reduce some of the short-term harm via mutual aid. But that's a stop-gap measure, and here's why.🧵

Sorry best I can do for you is Shelby Soup representing herself in court on copyright infringement charges

It just depends on how you want to do your time and how vulnerable you are. If you aren't doing anything grimey or getting into people's business and are religious that is often respected. Depends on your charge too bc no one wants child sex offenders.

Yes, it depends on how you want to do your time and how vulnerable you are. Getting ink definitely isn't necessary or even a thing crews would want you to do unless you were committed. Take a look at the linked thread -

So Trump's base is absolutely going to get scammed buying Argentinian pesos like they did with Iraqi dinars right?

At some point we just have to contented with the fact that running for office means there is probably something deeply wrong with you 90 percent of the time. The more I meet politicians at every level the more I realize it attracts a certain type of arrogant, self-serving, scammer.

This is like people getting caught in undercover busts but like backwards? "you aren't a cop are you?! Because you've got to tell me if you are a cop!" - except in this case the person was wearing a police uniform and you walked up to them to confess and complain about previous police work they did

I honestly don't think she was - from what I have seen - she is just not bright and most importantly entirely out of her depth.

Lindsey Halligan is a fucking moron.

What other things can we tax more for? Uhhhh okay if you buy video games that I don't like to play then you have to pay 15 percent tax

How it started / How it's going

No man, they are just a great country where the same family has been in charge since the inception of the country because they are so well loved. No country can be bad while the USA exists.

Spending a dime at businesses who's owners support trump. It's not just Disney it's tons of small and mid sized businesses.

Part of the other thing is that some people have jobs that provide a needed service to individuals. Your HVAC company doing a general strike just ends up with people switching companies or freezing in winter lol.

I've always been a much bigger fan of building cooperative economics. We should not be

I'd bet pretty big money this guy has served time. Giving big white prison gang energy.

Putin is a war criminal.

I should clarify the 1.1 is from their whole chain I think out of the new factory it'll be roughly a third of that. It's not only arms though it's also space and telecom where it makes a lot of sense not to be relying on Elon musk and starlink stuff.

My read is that euro nations realize what is going on and are playing for time. They are rapidly increasing domestic production capabilities. rheinmetall will have the largest munitions plant in Europe. Moving from 70k shells per year in 2022 to a goal of 1.1 million in 2027

Put it on my tombstone

Going Full Venezuela No Kings day feels eerily familiar to me.

"It never once occurred to me that Venezuela was a forerunner, that the authoritarian playbook Chávez and Maduro were enacting could play out one day in a place like the U.S." But now "every day brings new outrages that either rhyme with what Venezuelans went through or just repeat it outright."

hostility to No Kings by tankies elucidates the problem of their theory of power, in which they pretend to support "new social movements" but only as an extension, a surplus of sovereignty from the Party apparat into the arena of cultural-social hegemony. that's the opposite flow that we need.

A growing number of white nationalists identify with Vladimir Putin Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke in Moscow's Red Square during a Victory Day celebration, telling troops that they are fighting in Ukraine "so that nobody forgets the lessons of World War II."

In honour of Nazi Hegseth’s Russian flag tie. Why do white nationalists love Putin?

Wikipedia Volunteers Avert Tragedy by Taking Down Gunman at Conference

My friend Andrew Lih @fuzheado.bsky.social is a freakin hero. A gunman came into his Wikipedia event, and he grabbed and disarmed him. Thanks to him and another brave volunteer, no one was hurt—not even the gunman.

Now let’s ask why we accept a society where this can happen at any large gathering.

Many such cases in Metro areas
