It hits Cali first because everywhere else already has stuff in transit...

Give it a week or two and it'll be everywhere

carrying an AR-15 alone at a protest is stupid.

It's undeniable that police are less likely to instigate violence when some protesters are carrying rifles. And even if you say we're not at the point it's smart yet, things keep escalating and the time will come.

That being said, all black is a poor choice, so is bringing your rifle case backpack and taking it out and putting it away.

Running with it out is a very very stupid thing.

But so is just fucking shooting someone because they get a rifle out.

trump is mad Russia isn't listening to him about Ukraine.

He thought it was a two way relationship, he didn't understand Russia viewed it as a one way relationship.

Tucker is a piece of shit, but he understands he works for Russia and not with Russia, you can't just fucking walk away from that relationship like trump is trying to.

Loads of his support was because Russia wanted him to be supported. If Russia yanks that away, trump can't maintain his razor thin margins in the House and Senate, at least a handful will side with Russia over trump due to various reasons.

They're unlikely to side with Dems, but they'll stop anything from passing till midterms.

Like most scenarios, trump doesn't understand the situation and is acting early which is going to fuck everything up for Republicans in the long run.

Another step closer to cyberpunk dystopia with a handful of corps...

But at least this way we might get a new game with the nemesis system

By the French in secret actually...

They wanted to use Israel as a proxy against Egypt, so they helped them develop nukes almost immediately after Israel was created.

If France launched a nuke at Egypt, they'd get one back.

So the plan was Israel would use a nuke if it came to it, then take the consequences while Europe escaped unscathed.

Spend 33 years attacking a nation because they might have unauthorized nukes while the entire planet knows for a fact you have unauthorized nukes...

Is probably the surest way to make sure they develop nukes.

Because if they do develop them and threaten to use them, it's the only way to stop you from attacking them. If Iran has nukes, then Israel has no reason to attack and a good reason to pursue peace for once in its entire existence.

They'll change their tune when/if Iran can actually wipe them off the map, but not a day before.

The top comment on OPs link said that, but now it's deleted.

I think they had a link to the actual original, but it's gone now

The alternative is believing Israel’s government…

That's what you replied too...

If I now said:

Everclear is the best 90s rock band

Does that mean that's the only topic you're allowed to respond to now? If you mentioned Nirvana could I tell you I never mentioned them so the band is verboten?

Maybe I'm just having a bad morning, but this shit is getting ridiculous

Christ's sake...

This is the fediverse, you can't assume everyone sees the same comments when everyone's on different instances. And that's not even getting into how people block other accounts.

This is like pulling fucking teeth. So speaking of block lists...

There’s plenty of evidence that points to Iran building a nuke.

By all means share it with the class...

Because Israel's government isn't. And neither is any other government.

So I'm sure lots of people would absolutely love to see your proof

Otherwise, it's more likely Israel is lying because they've been saying Iran is a few years away from having nukes for literal decades. It means as much as Elmo saying Tesla will have auto omous driving in a few years

You don't have to trust her.

But if she says the sun will come up tomorrow, it doesn't mean we need to plan to live the rest of our days in fucking darkness man...

Like. You understand that right? Someone can be a habitual liar, but that doesn't mean the opposite of everything they say is true.

And Harvey Weinstein's lawyers say he's totally innocent too...

trumps been using the DOJ as his own lawyers, they're always gonna say he can do whatever he wants. Literally, they said nothing about this can be weighed on by any court:

“Our view is that this statute commits the decision whether to call up the forces to the president’s unreviewable discretion,” Shumate answered. “So no, there’s no role for the court to play in reviewing that decision.”

It two trump judges and one from Biden. And while the trump judges clearly disagree, they're gonna kick it to the SC.

Which is what was always going to happen here. Newsom isn't dumb enough to think a lawsuit would fix anything, he's just grandstanding because he wants to run for president.

 

From 4/24/25, but hadn't heard about it:

Today, DNC Chair Ken Martin and ASDC President Jane Kleeb announced a historic “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy – a new four-year agreement to deliver more resources into Democratic state and territory parties than ever before – delivering on Chair Martin’s commitment to turbocharging investments in on-the-ground organizing and party building. Under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement, each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month, a $5,000 per month increase over the last agreement, and Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month. The combined investments total a monthly transfer of more than $1 million from the DNC to state parties – the committee’s largest investment into Democratic state parties in history

“Since the public can’t see or hear what’s happening in federal court firsthand, we’re using cutting-edge AI tools to bring these important proceedings to life, based entirely on official transcripts,” said Law&Crime President Rachel Stockman. “This is a pivotal moment in both popular culture and justice, and our goal is to provide accurate, transparent access to what’s actually being said in that courtroom.”

There's two "full time" Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin's personal accounts as a salary.

There's an issue where trolls will "@" people who blocked them because it will still send a notification.

Sometimes it's just people who always do it, so it's likely unintentional.

But it's pretty obvious from a post history glance when they're only doing it with people who never respond to them. And definitely obvious after someone tells them about it

Example:

https://lemmy.world/comment/15711438

Is there anyway to make mention notification abide by the blocklist?

If not should we be reporting harassment to our admins or the admins of the account doing it?

 
 

So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.

I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.

But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.

My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.

I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.

I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?

Or any other methods to show you're an ally besides just facing the right way?

I'm also a little hesitant to slap something like an antifa rose on because I can't see trump not declaring them a terrorist group at some point.

 

Somewhat satire, somewhat actual investigation.

Pretty much same vibes as the Daily Show
