Here's a thread with an annual reminder that VicPD is overfunded and overstaffed. VicPD likes to say it's a special exception as a "downtown" police force, but they cost more per capita than every other department in B.C., including Vancouver. #yyj 🧵

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

Sadly, this is not the first time I have seen Vancouverites fight the construction of an elementary school.

The high wouldn’t last. Seahawks safety Julian Love soon intercepted a throw from New England quarterback Drake Maye, and the Patriots never recovered. In the end, Kane lost a bit less than $100,000 in bets that favored the Patriots. “What are you gonna do about it? You get very numb to these kinds of numbers,” said Kane, who works out of his one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

There is no bread, but did you see the symbolism at the circus?

If you wonder why places like Axios and Politico and the usual big pubs give a platform to this crap it's because they're right wing owned and they know centrism is a losing strategy for their opponents. They know lots of influential voices in the party are feckless risk averse losers

"Eliminate presidential immunity" needs to become as common a refrain as "eliminate Citizens United"

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

these rich demons are mad theres maybe even one decent thing about being alive in this country right now for everybody else and they want to do something about it

Some very funny commentary on the emptiness of modern fascism to be like "This disgusting Latin devil-music perverts our heritage and is a profound insult to our beautiful 401(k)s".

I feel like everyone is posting about the same thing today.

Am I missing something?

Ch*p W*lson is in the Epstein Files but it's just two documents saying that he sucks and nobody likes him

What do you think happened?

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

This is a great starting point for alternatives for everything from email to cloud storage to streaming, etc.

There has not been a lot of upholding international law in recent years. Particularly when it comes to the us.

Remember Breonna Taylor. Now think about how powerful the federal government is in this moment.

Stay safe. Don't be stupid.

Prison guards:

- Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs.

- Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died.

- Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died.

All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.

This guy is stealing public funds in plain sight

Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

Holding an Estwing framing hammer like that should be at least a misdemeanor offense.
