Ring cameras are about to get increasingly chummy with law enforcement Amazon’s Ring partners with company whose tech has reportedly been used by ICE.

CANCELLED. DISCONNECTED.
FUCK RING AND AMAZON.

I've been working with Demos to turn the Verification, Deliberation, and Accountability (VDA) Framework into a report that lays out how it can be used to diagnose the state of democracy and build solutions around building the capacity for those functions in institutional and public spaces.

Finally! Bellingcat is on the job. It needs to be in America’s business all day, every day, and maintaining data offline for future use in legal proceedings.

I’d like to know who the judges here are, because Judge Ellis was clear that she wasn’t managing Bovino’s job, but being a neutral arbiter of the law.

Who is the idiot who asked this question in this way.

So 14 yo kids are adults now.

Please. No one should be concocting motives for her or Melanoma. UV is smarter and more accomplished than JD. Dignity for $$ is a trade everyone in this admin is ok making. Even UV. It’s patronizing to suggest otherwise.

She’s a wreck. SC arguably leads any contest for most embarrassing fed elected officials.

A standard flip. Nothing special about it.

“Mom, what’s for Thanksgiving?”

“We’ll find out when we get to the soup kitchen. Jeffrey Epstein’s ballroom isn’t going to pay for itself.”

Don’t threaten her with a good time.

Shes going to sit on a lot of couches before she makes her next purchase. Her next husband will be independently powerful and extremely wealthy in his own right. It won’t be PT’s hand puppet.

As I said yesterday, Ds have their nihilists too. Rs have the Maggots and Ds have the petulant one issue pouters-the “I wanted Bernie so F Hillary” crowd helped screw America in 2016 and the “Kamala and T are both the same on Gaza” crowd got us in 2024. It’s probably the same F-ing group. Toddlers.

He’s a good human being. And he understands the power of shared empathy. Be like Joe. Keep an eye on your neighbor.

I’d say these two were headed for divorce but she’s a carbon copy of Melanoma. She’ll eat 💩 for $$

So he’s been incentivized. Good job.

Since 1980. It doesn’t have to be a “ serious” policy position. The R base aren’t serious people concerned about America’s long term health. The R corp loving party knows it can find candidates to keep the base angry at Ds and it all works for them. The corps and their lackeys.

Of course you are. And what makes you think that as a Canadian your opinion is relevant to American voters. This thread is for our voters and for us to argue among ourselves. Go argue with other Canadians about your own country’s policies. We are a little busy down here.

Case in pt: John Karl on PBS News Hour giving hollow excuses for why he didn’t publish what he saved for his book. Woodward and Bernstein published. They didn’t crave “access.” Broadcast journalism is dead. Replaced by groupies who dutifully act as stenographers for liars. Farce-not journalism.

And term limits.

Rs could have told Maggats they were wrong and if that didn’t work that their racist kind weren’t wanted. But be real: that would have meant losing a few election cycles and THAT was what was unthinkable. All that money and power lost for a time. Which exposes their core: they’re common money grubs

It’s because John Galbraith was right: “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” When you’re for the people and not the corps, the moral outrage is easily accessed. BS offends.

These people-the nihilists from 2016 who voted for Bernie but refused to vote for Hillary (held my nose) and sat it out or went 3rd party are the same ones who pulled this 💩 again in 2024. They know who they are. But only the really stupid ones publicly ID themselves.

BS-you’re not an American and you can’t vote. Block.

There are polls that say people who pick fights on bluesky over one issue really aren’t even US citizens. Really, at this point you’re just boring me by proving my point. Now be off or get blocked.

Please-short Short. He wrote one legal brief for his boss to uphold the Constitution, in the penultimate moment, never reflecting on all he and his Boss did that got them to it. He and his rehab tour can FO back to indefinite purgatory. He was on PBS Newshour this week and I turned it off.

He’s probably having HS detention flashbacks this week.

We will blame people who didn’t vote because they’re to blame. Pick one. It’s not that hard given where we are versus where we’d be. This whole episode just illustrates how utterly lazy and intellectually checked out many Americans are. Which is clearly working to the $advantage$ of this admin.

Sell that to people losing their insurance on 1/1/2026 and not eating this coming week. But sure. Everything is the same, nihilist. This cleopatra queen account is so weak it’s got to be a bot. Laughable really. Reporting it as such.

So you voted to help elect T. What I said stands. You know it.
