DC man who played Darth Vader theme at national guard troops sues over arrest

Sam O’Hara was arrested after a guard member allegedly complained about his blasting Star Wars song at troops

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In late August, Sam O’Hara began filming National Guard troops in D.C. while playing “The Imperial March” from his phone or a handheld speaker and posted the videos to his TikTok account.

He was detained Sept. 11.

Leave your phone at home ideally and if not, remove facial recognition passwords and put it on airplane mode!

Tell trusted people where you'll be but tell them to STFU if the cops call them!

Document brutalities but don't post the faces of comrades!

Wear sturdy, closed toe shoes you can run in!

The frogs were introduced to Portland to protest ICE and keep down the cane beetle population, but once they start multiplying they're hard to get rid of. Don't lick them; you could get high.

The termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social is insane. They’re claiming that white men are a protected marginalized group

So, "Sinclair," "the nation's largest ABC affiliate group" is a big wussy company with no backbone, and it's just cowtowing to whoever behind the scenes is pulling the strings and forcing this censorship.

Not the kind of critical-thinking, independent media I'd be interested in.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

So Bluesky is not available in Mississipi now,

because of the state's new anti-privacy "age verification" mandate,

which is data-mining and surveillance,

and also makes it hard for smaller platforms to honor the demand, so they just stop their service in the state instead.

Bluesky blocks access in Mississippi, citing free speech and privacy concerns - Mississippi Today Social media app Bluesky is blocked for Mississippians over a state law passed in 2024 requiring users of websites and other digital services to verify their age.

I see that Bluesky is shut down in Mississippi, so local news and commentary may be slower to get to here mississippitoday.org/2025/08/25/b...

Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For If you live in Mississippi, you may have noticed that you are no longer able to log into your Bluesky or Dreamwidth accounts from within the state. That’s because, in a chilling early warning sign

Bluesky and Dreamwidth blocked all Mississippi users from using their services because Mississippi’s oppressive age verification mandate makes it impossible for smaller platforms to comply. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

These aren't high crime areas. These places are where the rich urban liberals live! There is no need for any of this excessive shit. Even if it were targeted at higher crime areas, but we all know, this isn't about crime, as the biggest crook is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW.

Josh is a good storyteller, &his show is pretty family friendly, which can be helpful, as sometimes even adults don't want to handle more.

YouTube video by NBC Bay Area What to know about mystery benches popping up in San Francisco

Just a nice two-minute story.

Jesus was there when the Heavens & Earth were made.

He literally designed the system.
AND the players.

It is rigged in His Good Favor & therefore ours, b/c he rigged it.

Of course he wins in the End.
And that means winning all humanity back to God.

He will work it all out. ♥︎

Re: Christian universalism. Imo.

In the End of all ends, all is very well.

There may be intermediary places of waiting, healing, or for shedding the dirt of this life.

But in the final concl. of the story of human history, Jesus will win&has won all humanity for his Gd&Father.

Jesus always wins.

LOVE thy body (&you) for your body's ability & willingness to store energy for you.

Have NOT ANY disgust.
Rather, that's BEAUTIFUL & amazing, what the body can do to keep balance. You can adjust as you desire.

But it's a wonderful mechanism that which lets you keep energy for later.

Creating a world that is more accessible for people with disbilities, by raising the baseline standard for all, humanizes and improves the world for everyone.

If the world only ever allowed female leaders from here on out, we could forever avoid the antichrist coming to power, though. :) ♥︎

(I may be in the "bargaining" stage, lol.)

New plan: A good, free email should provided as a basic public service to all US residents.

It is such a basic public good.

Create an independent, not-for-profit e-postal service agency with security & privacy for the task.

(Not under this Admin, but by the next).

I just got this notification last night. Very disappointing.

Cutting the free email storage service by 1/50th is wild.

1 TB cut to 20 GB and presented almost as a good new offering–if you didn't have the context.

Also, unfortunate to see Yahoo fall like this. Tho they still have time to repent!

Yahoo downgrading email storage from 1 TB to 20 GB.

So tech companies can withdraw the service they had committed to giving for free?

(and downgrading the storage for paid users too)

This commodification of every essential element of our life is just wrong. And tiring.

With a u-won't-get-or-send-email warning:

"If your mailbox exceeds the new storage limit...
rest assured it will remain active, but you won't be able to send or receive new emails until you free up space or add more storage."

Not assured.
They should keep it at 1TB.
As it's been. Plz & thanks.

So, a new message from Yahoo email tells me they will now be limiting email storage to 20GB.

"Starting soon."

It used to be 1 TB.

Oh, also turn off their "AI Summaries" if you use the app.

eww.

What an ego waste of money.

( I say to myself )
