Honestly I don't see why buying data on the open market is illegal. I think it shouldn't be legal to sell it but it is. I'd prefer nobody have access than the NSA pretend they don't see what anyone else can buy.

Their evidence of Nazism was Ukranians asserting a separate identity and language from Russia. It's tantamount to calling Native Americans Nazis for protesting forced assimilation.

Seriously, no sincere white supremacist genuinely thought Zelenskyy's administration was sympathetic to their cause. Neo-Nazis are Putinists through and through.

Honestly this is great though. The GOP should be bombarded with this fact for the entire primary, make sure Haley supporters never want to hold their nose in the general.

The problem is that we're scattering. A handful to Bluesky. A smattering to Mastodon. A pittance to Lemmy. Building a unified community on a single platform again will take years.

It's not that Americans are stupid. Any nation can fall into the same trap if we devolve control of our infrastructure to plutocrats who look down on the public.
It's the attitude that Americans are dumb and deserve our fate that's shared by the elite who make it their business to fuck over the most vulnerable of us.

It's a great reason until there's an alternative. As long as voters look to gas prices for their votes, taking action that raises them is politically toxic.
Meanwhile leftists are literally criticizing the Biden administration for high gas prices' impact on the working class.
You want to change it? Let's change it. Starting with activists.

Unfortunately we proved just before the midterms that there's a very linear inverse correlation between gas prices and perceived job performance. Refilling the strategic petroleum reserve is electorally smart. Until activists can detach these electoral relaities nothing will change for anyone.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/7820643 > U.S. regulators say they will review the use of a chemical found in almost every tire after a petition from West Coast Native American tribes that want it banned because it kills salmon as they return from the ocean to their natal streams to spawn. > > The Yurok tribe in California and the Port Gamble S’Klallam and Puyallup tribes in Washington asked the Environmental Protection Agency to prohibit the rubber preservative 6PPD earlier this year, saying it kills fish — especially coho salmon — when rains wash it from roadways into rivers. Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut also wrote the EPA, citing the chemical’s “unreasonable threat” to their waters and fisheries. > > The agency’s decision to grant the petition last week is the start of a long regulatory process that could see the chemical banned. Tire manufacturers are already looking for an alternative that still meets federal safety requirements. > > “We could not sit idle while 6PPD kills the fish that sustain us,” Joseph L. James, chairperson of the Yurok Tribe, told The Associated Press. “This lethal toxin has no business in any salmon-bearing watershed.”
The image is a reddit post with the following text (automatically transcribed): I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

A couple of times I've been presented with notifications from commercial apps downloaded from the Play store that are very clearly promotional material. Thankfully, Android allows me to block particular notification channels if I swipe the notification lightly and hit the gear icon. I can disable the particular "Promotion" channel. However, with some apps, the "Promotion" channel is already turned off, and now they're sending promotions under other channels ("General Notifications", "System Alerts"). Does anyone else think this is shady enough to report, and how would you go about reporting it?

Something is starting to smell really rotten about this proceeding. Apparently the judge is a Trump appointee who is now claiming without evidence that Hunter Biden's lawyers pretended to be opposition lawyers to get things that should be sealed placed under seal, and still refuses to seal those things.
