I mostly agree, but if my sister were fleeing the fascism here in the US I would recommend she pick a safer place, since the trajectory of the UK, while different from ours, still doesn’t look great.

I’m guessing none of these Americans are trans.

Whoopsie. Oh well, nothing to see here.

Man, I am the same age and dodged a bullet a couple years back when I had a colonoscopy as part of a diagnosis for a different issue and they found a fast-growing pre-malignant polyp. The doc said for sure it would have been cancer within a year. I get checked every year now (until they tell me to stop, I guess).

Fuck cancer.

He is gonna hit the slurs pretty hard in public soon and we’ll hear Leavitt scold reporters for calling him a racist.

It mostly looks like a mild slow down of user-facing release and rebrand of unpopular features.

It is not a retreat. The marketing team is just trying to figure out how to reframe things that caused public backlash.

Because if middle managers even in other companies are tracking people’s locations then people are more likely to think that my software that asks for their location will be used to track them even though it doesn’t.

That is certainly a direction. I hope you have robust redunacies on the concentrator.

Using the Klan Act to prosecute a black journalist covering a protest on Martin Luther King Day. Our DoJ, ladies and gentlemen.

This will break a lot of applications.

This shit makes my job harder. I am required by law to provide a PSAP with the location data of any 911 caller (within a pretty tight radius). I have to use software in concert with softphones which requires the user enter their location when logging in the phone on their computer, just in case it is used to dial 911. This isn’t optional, we could face serious legal penalties if a user dials 911 and the response is delayed because the responders go to the wrong place.

My stuff is only used for 911. We don’t keep track. Really. There’s not even a mechanism to do that.

But when MS pulls this invasive bullshit it makes people afraid that my 911 software is doing the same thing. It makes them lie on the form or refuse to put anything in it. It makes them less safe and it makes my life difficult trying to convince them that the software we are using really is just for safety and that nobody, not even me, has access to it.

I bet he did Nazi that coming.

Also worth noting that the statement is a lie. Even if Walz capitulated ICE would continue to victimize Minnesota.

That’s not how rights work.

Willful disregard for human life is the legal term I believe.

It’s supposed to be online tonight. Hosted overseas because Noem said she’d seek charges against anyone exposing her gang member’s identities.

I think this warrants additional investigation. I am unfamiliar with Lisa Voldang so I don’t know how to evaluate the veracity of the material.

Shooting the driver of a vehicle doesn’t stop the vehicle. There is literally never a reason to kill a driver, especially in a populated area where the vehicle becomes a deadly projectile.

If the justice system fails the public, the public will find its own justice. This is not a positive outcome for anyone.

The right-wing propaganda machine is smoking for all the sickening trash it is spewing out about Renee Nicole Good.
