Always on the hunt for quality interaction. Joined Mastodon because it doesn't run a model of engagement that requires an ever increasing spiral of hate.
Really enjoy the quality of information I pick up here.

josh buermannCory Allen McKay has "a three-decade record of violent crime that includes strangling a pregnant woman" and "was scheduled to stand trial next month on methamphetamine trafficking charges that could have locked him up for 25 years" but "the number of assistant U.S. attorneys in Minnesota has fallen from more than 40 prosecutors before Trump retook office to fewer than two dozen", so Pam Bondi has set him free.

Don MoynihanIf you think doxxing is a problem, lets talk about ICE/CBP seemingly have software to automate doxxing, accessing private records of the public without adequate justification, and then turning up at the homes of observers to intimidate them.

Electronic Frontier FoundationEFF intervened in a lawsuit last year to force government contractor Pen-Link to disclose the prices and descriptions of surveillance products that it sold to a local California Sheriff's office. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/08/victory-pen-links-police-tools-are-not-secret

The records disclosed in the settlement show that in late 2023, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office paid $180,000 for a two-year subscription to the Tangles “Web Intelligence Platform,” which is a Cobwebs Technologies product that allows the Sheriff to monitor online activity.

One out of 12 rams (male sheep) is uninterested in females and prefers the company of males. They are deemed “non-procreative” (worthless to a farmer) and sent to slaughter. So this German farmer, Michael Stücke, rescues the gay rams and forms the company Rainbow Wool, selling wool from the gay sheep. Collaboration between Rainbow Wool and Grindr resulted in a fashion show called I Wool Survive. It featured 36 unique looks by designer Michael Schmidt, made entirely from the wool of the gay sheep, and celebrating queer identity through knitted and crocheted archetypes like Fireman, Sailor, Jock, Daddy and more. Proceeds from sales went to LGBTQA charitable organizations.
In a culture of Stephen Miller and Peter Thiel, be a Michael Stücke or a Michael Schmidt. Make art, make beautiful things, make people laugh, promote inclusivity, promote fabulousness- and find a way to accept whatever you consider “useless sheep.” Maybe instead of killing them, help them become Rainbow Wool. RESIST. And do it in style, if you can.
@heidilifeldman but only 10 randomly selected and the chief make up the panel hearing the case, correct?
Chris GeidnerBREAKING: The full Ninth Circuit vacates last week’s 2-1 order granting DOJ a stay of the district court’s TRO in the case over Trump’s National Guard effort in Oregon. The court will rehear DOJ’s stay request w an 11-judge panel.
Today’s order means Judge Immergut’s TRO remains in effect for now.
