March 3rd, 1986 — Metallica released their legendary third studio album Master of Puppets.

A defining moment in thrash metal history. From the crushing title track to the haunting power of “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” and the instrumental masterpiece “Orion,” this album changed heavy music forever.

Why is my credit report that they generate from my data not enough?
This is not about protecting kids; it seems to be more about cataloging people.
I don't want to be considered as "inventory". It is about being able to track everyone. I think I saw this movie already.

The need this to happen before the midterm election. Imprison your opposition in key locations and they cant cast a vote. It is a power grab.

Administration is just rounding up people showing us what the administration is doing.

This hasn’t drawn much coverage yet, but folks in higher ed and Tennessee should know the state legislature is proposing a bill that would prevent public universities from granting tenure starting this summer. www.reddit.com/r/Professors...

You should probably read the lawsuit before acting like a MAGA and inventing a clever nickname to drag people with. Laurie is accused of negligence for failing to stop the sex crimes, and not accused if sexual abuse at all. Those two things are quite different things. Are you a bot?

Grok produced an estimated 3 MILLION sexualized images in just 11 days.

According to the Washington Post, xAI intentionally tried to "embrace" sexualized imagery to increase Grok's popularity.

We must hold Grok and X accountable for exploiting women & kids just to line their own pockets👇

From the article "Pedagogy of the Inevitable" by Ricky D'Andrea Crano:

Holy shit. Well said, Ricky D'Andrea Crano.

An extraordinary number of banger lines in this masterpiece of the genre of critical academic book review, but this in particular is straight up🔥: doi.org/10.1215/2834...

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans trained as constitutional observers The Immigrant Defense Network works with more than 100 organizations to help train constitutional observers. At the end of November, there were 2,500 trained observers. That number has soared as more ...

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

Disbanding DHS and ICE and replacing it with something reasonable and fair and. OT under direct control of the Executive branch would be appropriate action for the next president. This one has exposed Democracy's vulnerability to cronyism and nepotism.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Its like he is one of those crazy arms used car sales fan balloons and we can't look away long enough to see the firesale that is happening under the surface.

Impeach them all!
#DumpTrump too

The immigrant they were targeting when Alex was murdered has no criminal history.

They blocked emergency medical aid from getting to Pretti too. And lied about that too.

Dress in layers.
Stay hydrated.
You cannot stop a car on ice at will so slow down and allow time for stopping.

Wear a hat.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

"Terrible things are happening outside ... poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." — Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

He was already on the ground. This is government-sponsored sadism. That is, Trump-sponsored sadism.

Please cite the affidavit properly and link to it.

it's this kind of shit that makes me insist on the specific accuracy of the Nazi comparisons, these people arent being treated like property theyre being treated like vermin

Canadian PM Mark Carney speaks on the stage at the World Economic Forum against a blue backdrop.

How about the legality of withholding supreme court nominations from one President with over a year of governance to go and rushing through the nominations of another when merely months remained?

Any news on that front?

BREAKING: A federal judge dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit aimed at forcing California to turn over sensitive personal data of the state's voters.

This is good news. Voters should never have to choose between our privacy and our right to participate in our democracy.
