Trump finally has a mugshot & has been made to post bail — standard practice for criminal defendants that he's been spared up till now.

His defenders who complain about a "two-tiered" justice system are half right. There's one for the rich & powerful and one for everyone else.

Rosa Update!
Imagine almost 7 months ago this little lady came into our lives at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue & Sanctuary.

193 days of uncertainty and little chance of survival.

Vets said "those wounds will never heal", people said "she cant possibly see" volunteers questioned her future quality of life.. yet we never ever gave up on her.

The efforts of sex work advocates are better invested, says Stabile, in campaigning for new laws that would make it illegal for banks to discriminate against sex workers on the basis of their profession, than in developing an alternative financial system.

    And another message. There was absolutely no need for this and we got the companies wanting to create an AGI god, putting these students in this awful situation. These "AI detection" tools need to be banned.

    2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

    4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

    763,044 Covid deaths, an armed insurrection & theft of classified documents: They cheered, and want Trump to be president.

    Last Wednesday evening @nova had a climbing accident and died.

    All of us that loved her are heart broken and stunned. She was an amazing person that lived out loud and built connection and community wherever she went. She will be horribly missed.

    RIP @nova. You were an awesome person, and the world will be worse off without you.

    The person I cherished more than any other, @nova , died unexpectedly late Wednesday in a climbing accident.

    I have no words, only despair. The light in my soul is gone.

    Joe Beda @jbeda and Nivenly are posting announcements. Others will also.

    Watching Twitter's death spiral is just sad. I mean yeah, it had tons of issues, but the fact that so many communities and movements are going to be broken/fractured because of this is depressing.

    @BlackAzizAnansi Not to mention years and years of posts about things like Arab Spring have been mass deleted in recent days. We’re losing history because Elon doesn’t want to pay for storage.

    It is with immense sadness that we must share with you the news of the loss of our friend, our leader, and our mentor, Kris Nóva.

    It was Nóva who inspired us to come together to build Hachyderm, whose vision created Nivenly, and whose mission we continue to carry forward. In her working life beyond Nivenly, she has left behind a legacy of professionalism and strength of vision, and we all miss her terribly.

    Yes, absolutely the ex staff members who did this should be prosecuted. BUT it tells us so much about their "security culture".

    Questions like 'why could they access so much information?' leap to mind.

    Let's not forget the same CEO wants to get people to send selfies and Gov ID documents to be "verified" on his social media site. Yeah, that's a hard no.

    Angelo John Gage, a neo-Nazi who recently started using the name "Lucas Gage" and whose Twitter feed is a constant stream of antisemitism and racism, says he received his first payment through the platform's revenue sharing system.

    It's was $165.52 — not much, obviously. But it's also not nothing.

    Elon Musk has not only welcomed Nazis. He's now directly paying them too.

    Pro and Anti EV fundamentalists are two very tedious groups. Both claiming the other of cherry picking facts, which is correct. Both do but pretend they do not.
