Honestly dude, I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala.... I just don't fucking understand how so many people can come to that conclusion, unless I really think about it, and then the reasons are all so sad and stupid. I swear to god the main reason, above racism, above hate, above the propaganda of the election cycle, the main reason he won over Hillary and then Kamala is that he had a TV show for many years. A lot of people over look the simple fact that in the American psyche, being on TV is validating, or at least it was when Trump was elected, before everything went upside down. People will stay in the same shitty town and keep the same toxic relatives in their lives for their wholes lives vs finding people that they actually harmonize with because they're familiar. People who grew up in shitty households find partners like their shitty parents because the shitty behavior is familiar. "Familiar" feels like family. Trump was a household name, and some people didn't even know Kamala had been swapped in half way through the election season. So they trusted Trump when he'd lie because he's familiar, but they distrusted her when she seemed to avoid a subject because she's unfamiliar and so inherently suspicious. They should have both been suspicious af, but he had a TV show and was president once before so they trusted him more.... which is very fucking stupid.

The folks up at Whipple here in Minneapolis have been chucking dildoes at ICE and local law enforcement. Helps that one of the major spots for local resistance is a sex toy store, and they've got a lot of "expired" dildoes around.

(If you see reports of "objects" thrown at fascists, it's not chunks of ice anymore, lol.)

Waylp that sucks for me. I knew about it and was lazy.

Please don't use official YouTube clients

YouTube lose would be a blow. All the knowledge there that would be lost is massive. And nobody is going to replace it.

Use a YouTube frontend. Don't give them any ad revenue. Make it cost them money to service you.

America isn't a country of laws anymore. The supreme court rubber stamps anything the administration wants to do, and the administration "declines requests from the judiciary". You've got administration officials that don't know what Habeas Corpus means, suspending Habeas Corpus. You've got a military openly/brazenly committing war crimes on the international scene (blowing up unverified "narco boats"/civilians). You've got a paramilitary gestapo-like force quite literally shooting citizens in the streets, your own government aiming to terrorize its people -- which's the whole point of the violent Ice operations targeting blue states.

But yeah, sure, Google and the big tech bros who have been supporting Trump's actions throughout all of this will totally draw the line at disclosing data.

I fully expect Google to give in anyway. The rule of law doesn't count for much anymore.

The creds were published on Reddit, and the feds evidently didn’t bother to activate 2FA

Don't worry. They're already working on exporting fascism.

The cloud act requires a warrant, this is them just demanding access.

"The CLOUD Act primarily amends the Stored Communications Act (SCA) of 1986 to allow federal law enforcement to compel U.S.-based technology companies via warrant or subpoena to provide requested data stored on servers regardless of whether the data are stored in the U.S. or on foreign soil."
