I've seen this headline, or one like it, a half-dozen times now, and it keeps feeling like propaganda because the emphasis is on the "police officers fired" part when it should be on the "using controversial mass surveillance cameras to spy" part. It's as if the message is "no really folks, Flock is OK because the people abusing it are being held accountable, pinky promise!"

I don't like it at all.

That's, like, literally the entire point of conservatism.

Is that French for "listen here you little shit?"

I figured that much out at "childhood gender transitions," before I even got to the part you quoted. She started the list off with a fictional boogeyman.

(Puberty blockers are literally the opposite of "childhood gender transitions" as the entire point is to stall for time until adulthood.)

I've seen a few other articles about this in other communities that I chose not to crosspost because of overly-soft language.

Pretty sure that acronym isn't new.

(Also, it really is an acronym pronounced "mammal," not an initialism.)

The status quo has changed permanently. It doesn't matter what the US does; Iran now controls the strait and nobody can stop them from charging whatever tolls they want, only letting through ships for their allies, etc. Trump permanently ended the concept of freedom of navigation that Iran had previously abided by when he idiotically decided to attack them anyway, because Iran has zero reason to trust US diplomacy and respect for international law ever again.

Mine was literally the cheapest I could find (Amazon flash sale during COVID for maybe $30?) and isn't even powered, but still manages to have a continuous knob to adjust pressure, along with three buttons for where to aim the spray (butt, front, and self-clean).

This is cope. The unconstitutional mandate is still a bad thing and needs to be stopped.

It's not "solely for the desires of a foreign nation." Although bribes and blackmail are surely factors, the other reason the US (and especially the Republican Party) does whatever helps Israel is to appease American evangelical Christians who want to fulfill a Biblical prophesy of Jews returning to the Holy Land to kick off the End Times so they can get Raptured.

It's literally an insane death cult controlling US foreign policy.

It's stalking, not merely "public". "Public" does not imply a panopticon!

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”

The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.

A new big-data analysis of the U.S. pinpoints how urban design aids the health of city residents—especially when cities provide walking opportunities, greenery and mixed-use streets with a blend of commercial and residential activity.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
