A Sheriff in Louisiana Has Been Destroying Records of Deputies’ Alleged Misconduct for Years
--
A lawsuit brought by the family of an autistic teen who died while in custody found the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office destroyed the disciplinary records of the deputy involved.

A ProPublica, WWNO/WRKF investigation found JSPO rarely sustained complaints against officers, despite allegations of excessive force, discrimination & wrongful death at hands of deputies.

Republicans support state sanctioned murder of pregnant people.

Two Things Can Be True at the Same Time

Some news reports of the classified documents found at Joe Biden’s home and office are implying that it’s similar — or even the same — as the case of classified documents found at Donald Trump’s beach club.

It’s lazy reporting at best.

Now's a really really good time to support trans creators --- not as an alternative to TERF fantasies or as a way to fight back against institutional transphobia, but just because trans folks are creating some really cool stuff and trans imaginations are the best. #xp

This cello is strange and doesn't sound like the others, just goes awoo every so often 😁

I'm looking for roles in #DevRel management for a friend. If you know of any, could you please send them my way? Also, please consider boosting this post for visibility. Thank you in advance. :revblobfoxcomputerowo:

Jake Tapper expertly shut down one of McCarthy's trusted lieutenants' lies about the GOP's ridiculous IRS de-funding bill. 👏

Finland has closely watched the Russian troll factory's efforts to create chaos in free democracies. We now educate our children to recognize #misinformation and rank #1 in our ability to resist it.

I wish the Americans would do the same.

@stopgopfox

@phaedral is correct. The news cycle, fed on an hourly basis, by the GOP loons makes it impossible to keep up on any one instance. That's why we need good #Historians to keep us reminded of the very long list of #GOP #Lies and #misinformation

They think that if they say it enough, we will eventually believe it. We have to fight back with a constant effort to serve up #facts and #science.

Stop giving religions a “pass” simply because they boast many adherents. A disheveled individual talking to herself on a street corner is seen as mentally ill - but if well dressed & surrounded by others doing likewise, she is seen as religious - even pious.
Abraham prepared to kill his son based on “God’s instruction,” & is lauded for his obedience. Anyone doing so today would go to the psych ward & possibly prison. We must live in #reality rather than #fantasy. #criticalthinking #atheist #RTS

Since there are no ads on Mastodon, I am offering to advertise for any companies on here. My only requirements are:

1. I get to write the ad.

2. The ad will in no way accurately portray your company and might state that you were responsible for the Cuban Missile Crisis.

3. For each post you must pay me $10,000 and write me a handwritten note that says I am your best friend.

4. You must put out an official statement stating that you take full responsibility for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
