I think theyโ€™re killing it as Ellie, tbh. And the changes that Nick and Craig made for the show were either changes that Nick wanted in the game in the first place, or both of them recognizing that handling converging story arcs in a game is VERY different from television. Payoff has to come sooner.

I swear on all that is holy I, an avowed home automation and gadget nerd, will never buy another gadget that needs to access the internet for anything. And Iโ€™ll pay more if it itself can be controlled on my LAN via a simple and documented API.

Deported over a speeding ticket? Dozens of US studentsโ€™ visas abruptly revoked Nearly 40 students report canceled visas over minor infractions as Trump intensifies crackdown on universities

Once fingerprinted, FBI's NCIC and NGI databases had permanent records for these students.

This story proves that DHS is correlating their data with FBI data without analyzing it.

For DHS, just being in NCIC is the context that establishes their desired pretext: you're a national security threat.

Everyday Americans Support President Trumpโ€™s Trade Action President Donald J. Trump is finally doing what politicians have refused to do for decades โ€” fighting back against the one-sided war waged on American

Just the federal government posting an official news release that bypasses the paywall of an American media outlet.

(the "Guardian Bikes CEO Brian Riley" link goes to an archive.ph link of a @wsj.com article, I'm sure they're totally fine with that)

Simply put: I'm assuming the crowd size reached its apex when 20 N-S city blocks were filled.

It's a formula used by professionals (e.g. civil engineers, fire marshals, sociologists, etc.) to estimate crowd sizes.

A pelican with a cast iron frying pan for a beak.

Feeding is, naturally, where the Panican's unique morphology truly comes into play. The wide, shallow pan acts much like a traditional pelican's scoop, trapping unsuspecting fish. But then... a subtle difference.

Not just that: they send a message to corporations that we, the only consumers left for their tariffed-to-hell products, have strong opinions, and maybe are worth something.

And it can show our terminally-decorous elected officials that we'd like them to, if they don't mind, start some shit.

We may disagree on that point, but I truly hope we can reach the same ultimate conclusion: a unified movement against a fascist regime demands both pragmatism and the setting aside of purity tests. At this point in history, all our battles should be in service of a single war.

1. They are literally not. Police are racist assholes, but not a tool of a fascist regime. Fascist regimes _replace the independent police with their own enforcement militias_. Please research what happened in Germany and Italy.

2. Ending discourse with "lmao" doesn't help show solidarity

Just gonna tap this sign. And the post after it: Yes, ACAB, 100%, but if I'm fighting a fascist regime, I'm not going to give them a pretext to counterprogram by reframing protest as violence by purposefully fucking around with cops.

You know who really wants us to be openly confrontational of LEOs during a protest? Fascists. Because then they'd have pretext to turn us into "others".

ACAB, but while I'm busy fighting a fascist authoritarian regime, I'm not going to antagonize one and give Dear Leader the talking point.

That's an inclusive group right there, blocking someone who explicitly gives away their whole fucking game.

The constant efforts by uber-leftists or whatever the fuck you want to call yourselves to divide liberal and social justice groups because they're not at the center of your hypotrochoid Venn diagram is purposeful division, and I will not stand for it any longer.

And all those groups that are terrified of police, and yes, with good fucking reason? They can't "work with police", but those of us with the privilege of being cis while males sure as fuck can advocate for them during a protest, stand in front of them, and make it clear we're all non-violent.

Fascist governments systematically dismantle independent police forces & replace them with paramilitary militias that serve the regime. _Those_ were the SA that you (obviously haven't) read about. 50501's engagement with democratic law enforcement is precisely what sets it apart from fascist regimes

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I've done plenty with local organizers of other groups.

And I'm not speaking ill of either HandsOff or 50501.

If you, in fact, represent 50501, that's great. You did good work.

And I heard of 50501 long before #HandsOff. Itโ€™s an exemplar of our state of fractured organization, not an attempt to foment rebellion within our ranks.
