🧵 Alpena County in northern Michigan voted NOT to add Flock Cameras by a vote of 5-2 as a proposed contract by the Alpena Sheriff’s Dept last week. There were concerns offered by the commissioners regarding Privacy rights as well as concerns who the third party owners would allow access to and why.

Idiot .
Frightening for US troops I would imagine. Fancy fighting for a CIC that actively supports a friend of your enemy.
FFS wake up America.

Yes!
Trump is now saying our navy is going to start escorting ships through the Straight of Hormuz. It’s like he’s actively trying to get our troops killed!

This is what I see, and no disrespect to the late, great Benny Hill.
He is begging like a dog, one might say.
This war and Trump’s alienation of our allies may go down as among the greatest foreign policy failures of any presidency in history.
I’m telling y’all we could use more of that energy on this side of the pond. Decorum doesn’t work with Republicans who are steamrolling norms and daring Dems to fight back.
📌 Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim accuses his own government of “complicity” in what he calls an “illegal US-led war.”

Ok. Here’s a tidbit. News will be throttled if it’s deemed by the regime to be a hoax? Trump thinks all news that doesn’t reflect well of him is fake or a hoax. Is the FCC really thinking of shutting down news reports?
I encounter them often on other social media. They will challenge us to name just one thing from Cheeto has done wrong. I give them a list and ask if they need more. Sometimes they try to argue one point, but never all. It's as if they are hearing about it for the first time...
Mentally competent patients typically have the right to choose their medical care — or refuse it. But there is one notable exception: pregnant patients. That inconsistency is particularly striking in Florida. Read this story by @amyyurkanin.bsky.social 👇
Aww that's a long time to feel icky. 😞Hang in there! Fresh air, fluids, rest ❤️ hugs from afar!
Nothing ever seems to happen, or even bother these "people" from day to day.
No stress.
No hunger.
No medical emergencies.
No family tragedies.
No financial problems.
No housing issues.
These people are heartless, ruthless, warmongering terrorists.
You can't convince me otherwise.
Feel better soon! I got sick this year with the flu worse than I've experienced in many years--and it lingered. Hopefully you'll be back to 100% very soon ❤️
The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.
This might be a good start! ☺️
"Killing human beings is not a video game. It's not pixels on a screen. And whatever you think of the war... the way this is being described is almost barbaric," David Brooks says. "It should be unnerving to everybody to see this level of triviality." https://to.pbs.org/4dlsz7l
Trump knew his war with Iran would raise gas prices.
Now he wants to illegally resurrect a pipeline shut down by courts and facing criminal charges. And it won't even cut prices.
I refuse to let Trump sacrifice Californians, our environment, or our $51 billion coastal economy.
So it begins..,.., the criminal did not inform congress let alone asked for their authorization, and did not, and still hasn’t, presented a coherent plan to US, before starting the Epstein Class war. How long before he illegally starts calling up the reserves? And then the draft…..,.
New data released by the NIH this week shows how the damage from those cuts broke down.

REP. BOYLE: “This administration is willfully choosing adventurism in Iran over providing for the health care of the 🇺🇸 people. It’s wrong, it makes no strategic sense, and I think it is unconscionable.”
