Middle aged white American citizen male retired police officer jailed for quoting Donald Trump’s own words on social media.

How many people have been jailed for shit like this that aren’t white male retired police officers?

Mask bans likely won’t solve police abuse of power.

First MAGA railed against anyone wearing masks, now they insist federal law enforcement employees ought to wear them on the job.

Surveillance tech companies are doing secretive government contracts with public officials who are avoiding public input.

The parallels with the secrecy with tech industry data center projects are uncanny.

The war on bicycles is a war on the environment, youths, and the poor.

Ticketing bicyclists more seriously than cars makes no sense. An ebike or powered kick scooter will never ever be able to do the kind of damage to someone else in an accident like a SUV is capable of.

Seems like this isn’t a good standard to set.

Are the masked bandits in plain clothes that refuse to show badges even actual trained law enforcement hired through civil service?

Trump fired the people who investigate fraud waste and abuse.

Any claims that this new Elon Musk dog crew is actually looking for fraud or waste is a lie. We already had positions that were all about rooting out corruption, and the Donald got rid of them. THEY FIRED THE WATCHDOGS. NOW, NO ONE IS WATCHING. | RepresentUs – Mar 12, 2025 Trump fired 19 […]

The surveillance state already exists, including at healthcare appointments.

Members of law enforcement agencies may have the ability to track the medical appointments of any patient of Kaiser Permanente (which owns Geisinger in Pennsylvania), without a warrant and without any probable cause, for any reason that may interest them.

Gaslighting & manufacturing normal to minimize concerns is not the right direction to go in.
