3 nights ago in Logan Circle, DC.

Paul Bryant, a corporate attorney in both DC was swarmed by MPD, FBI, and Trump's masked thugs.

He's an attorney, West Point graduate, and Army veteran.

Handcuffed for over an hour, his car unlawfully searched.

Pirro's office then tried to charge him.

Not here to defend anything either of these fools says, but is he actually referencing the Nazis? Or is this more likely a reference to Republicans’ other historical nemesis, FDR and the New Deal?

How integral do you see the audio as being - it’s obviously very effective as part of the piece, but am wondering if a multi-screen display might work in a more open display area, such as at this year’s Internet Governance Forum (where AI governance is a major issue))?

US speaking in the UNGA earlier this week: β€œβ€¦Therefore, the United States rejects and denounces the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, and it will no longer reaffirm them as a matter of course.”

Honestly, still shocking…

That a β€œfix” will be necessary (practically and politically) to many of these cuts is incontrovertible; but having broken the system beyond a point that it can be repaired, the only option will be to contract the private sector - the plan is crystal clear (and many will suffer through it).

If you're coming from the Global South, the information below may be the key to joining this year's IGF to Oslo in person! But the deadline is approaching very fast (17 February), so don't delay! #IGF2025 #internetgovernance #digitalcooperation #wsis #wsis20 #digitalgovernance #aigovernance #ig

This close to the election, Harris is the best of bad options, IMHO.

…Republicans also love an octogenarian candidate who has trouble stringing together a coherent sentence… there are no good options here.

Sure. But none of that is a reason NOT to ban (or very heavily restrict ownership and use of) guns.

Ah, mystery solved - thanks! I didn’t see it, but between this and that whole β€œSS isn’t pretty” brouhaha, it’s been quite the pop culture event!
