Yeah, the fact that DOJ will apparently never ever bring charges against him for all the illegal stuff he did while in office because they really want the President/their boss to be above the law shows pretty conclusively that they don’t really want to reckon with any of the deeper problems Trump’s administration demonstrated we have
So, while they make a big show out of going after him for things he did as a former president and dumbass January 6 rednecks, we’re still just at risk of a wannabe dictator becoming President and using the unconstrained powers of that office to pursue personal and ideological vendettas and enrich themselves by funneling taxpayer money into their own pockets and selling US policy off to the highest bidders
“Cops are the first line of defense for business owners and employers, so I think it makes sense for labor to be opposed to Cop City.”
Yep, when a worker is accused of taking a few dollars out of the till the cops show up right quick, but where are they at when your boss commits wage theft by demanding you punch out early?
Huh, looks like I am running 0.0.32 already unfortunately
Nice, thanks! I’ve never had/made the time to learn any kind of programming, but anyone who does open source work is right up there with teachers librarians and firefighters in my book of “people I’m predisposed towards liking” (honestly more of a pamphlet than a book)
Anyway, speaking as someone who doesn’t know much about any of this yet, where is that at in the development process? I’m guessing people send code ideas to dessalines/their team, the code is reviewed and approved by them, and then it’s sent off to the Google people for a review before it gets to the play store? I’m not in any kind of rush for this fix, so I’m just curious if it’ll get to me eventually on its own or if I will have to have a bit more initiative (sideloading apps is on my list of “things I really should have figured out by now” (honestly more of a book than a list))
Ah, that explains it, I’m running the AMOLED theme on Jerboa, but doing dark mode at the OS level (android 13 with one UI 5.1 also, btw) breaks a Galaxy Theme I’ve been using for a long time and really love, so I just go piecemeal app by app turning each of them to their dark modes, but sometimes that produces weird/unintended interactions like this one
At the moment it doesn’t look like anyone else has had this issue, I need to make a new GitHub account to make a post there but I’ll try to remember to do that later when I have a moment
I actually don’t have very strong feelings about gun control (like, it might help prevent some mass shootings and gun violence, but it’s a really imperfect tool that relies way too much on cops not being bigoted assholes who enforce things selectively), but the notion that lying about your food stamp eligibility constitutes a “serious crime” is outrageous
And he isn’t the only one talking about criminal charges for these things, but I’ve been watching Republicans commit blatant crimes and face zero consequences my whole life, so I’ll believe it when I see it
Bear in mind, this federal monitor was put in place at first exactly because NYV was stopping and frisking people illegally
No accountability and nothing changes but the names for the illegal programs
Edit; related article I just stumbled across, “What Happened When a Brooklyn Neighborhood Policed Itself for Five Days”
Ha, only because I wasn’t using it. Thanks for pointing it out to me, just played around with it a bit and that’s exactly what I wanted.
So I do! Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for

Now do the real culprits at the top on down.
100% this, every official who tried to submit fake electors slates to Congress is in on this coup and they all ought to face prosecution imo
Fair enough. I’m definitely more of a pessimist, but I hope you’re right here.
I definitely love it in theory, but I wonder if that’s what we’re really seeing here. In each of the sentencings this article discusses the judge gave out way less than what prosecutors were going for, and that was more or less the theme of another article I posted about this.
… advocates have also criticized police involvement in implementing Adams’ directive in light of numerous instances of people in a mental health crisis being killed or seriously injured by NYPD officers. Adams, a former police captain, has responded by saying patrol officers would hand off cases of someone in crisis to others on the force “who have a deeper training than the surface training that an everyday police officer would.”
But the training materials, publicly disclosed here for the first time, indicate that any uniformed member of service has the authority to unilaterally decide someone needs to be brought involuntarily to a hospital because of the inability to care for one’s self.
Beth Haroules, director of disability justice litigation for NYCLU, said the presentation also seems inconsistent with city officials’ pledge to provide police with in-depth training on the “unable to meet basic needs” standard and a refresher on crisis communication strategies. Between the slides and the video, which overlap significantly, patrol officers appear to be receiving no more than 25 minutes worth of a refresher.
Yeah, this wasn’t the best framing for this discussion. I think there’s something to be said about the awareness she gets and how it’s a little frustrating to read media coverage that acts like we’ve never sent a mother to prison before and don’t do it all the time to poor people, and frankly I’ll jump on any opportunity to raise the “I don’t want to live in a country that routinely violates human rights in its prisons” discussion, but the headline might have overreached a bit.
The vast majority of women in the US prison system are mothers. Nearly 60% of women in the country’s prisons have minor children, and so do 80% of those who are in jail. A large number of them have not even been convicted of a crime, but can’t afford to pay bail. They are overwhelmingly poor, women of color, and disproportionately Black—they couldn’t be more different from Holmes.

It was also a really good and safe space for discussing trans stuff
