quote [ ?They?re looking for a Mum who?s going to have a really shit Christmas and I thought of you? ]
21st century Dickens in a pointedly written rant.

quote [ ?Baseball cards? of arrested protesters to try to understand their motivations and plans. Historically, military and intelligence officials have used such cards for biographical dossiers of suspected terrorists, including those targeted in lethal drone strikes. ]
Wow that's fucked up. We're living in a temporary dictatorship at this point.

quote [ ?My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism, like most of my uncles, so we would not have an American president brutalizing and kidnapping Americans for exercising their constitutional rights and trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do,? said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in a statement. ?Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office.? ]
THIS is what I want to see more of.

quote [ Facebook got itself into a sensitive data scandal when it did shady business with Cambridge Analytica, Instagram confirmed a security issue exposing user accounts and phone numbers, but these apps are basically online security havens compared to TikTok, according to one senior software engineer with about 15 years of professional experience. ]
Ah well, if even TikTok did not use HTTPS on their endpoints, maybe SE is not that far behind.

quote [ POLICE OFFICER TELLS PROUD BOYS TO HIDE INSIDE BUILDING BECAUSE THEY'RE ABOUT TO TEAR GAS PROTESTERS. THE OFFICER SAID HE WAS WARNING THEM "DISCRETELY" BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANT PROTESTERS TO SEE POLICE "PLAY FAVORITES."
#BLUEFALL #PoliceBrutalityPandemic #PoliceBrutality ] Just the police exhibiting professional courtesy to some white supremacists. Nothing to see here.
Interactive map of Police Brutality incidents in this past week or so. Heard about the fascist NYT Op Ed by Senator Tom Cotton that's got everyone up in arms? Maybe you heard it was disavowed by the Editors? Nope, it was actually invited by the editorial staff. That good old "left wing" newspaper that's constantly giving a voice to fascists and writing puff pieces about lone wolfs.

quote [ Police asked the public to upload videos of protesters via its iWatch Dallas mobile app. Instead, netizens flooded the service with videos of South Korean K-Pop performers. Police were forced to take down the app. ]
"On Saturday night, a mischief-maker broadcast over the frequency Chicago police were using for communications, blaring out the classic NWA track F*ck the police." I think some Sting would have been a funnier choice.
