The church has a perverted ideology, too concerned with others folks sexualities, which is none of their business. When they’re not literally diddling kids, they’re metaphorically diddling kids with deceptive crap like this.

Was gonna say just that. They’re all for surveillance technology as long as they are in control. Surveillance for thee…

I guess Flock cameras aren’t so great for people on bikes.

The Vietnam war was also not called a war, it was called a police action. It seems the Executive Branch’s ability to wage war without congress’s approval is a constitutional loophole.

The effort is a counter strike to what critics see as unprecedented moves by federal officials to ride roughshod over children’s rights and increase deportations – while in the meantime corralling them in conditions that can allegedly lead to psychological harm.

It’s fascinating that this admin is in support of Christian Nationalism, and once again kids are imperiled. Like Donald Capps said, “Religion and Child Abuse Are Perfect Together.”

8+ billion people in the world, we’re stripping earth’s resources to support all of them, and governments are paying cash for you have more babies.

The scientists from the politically blue state of Maryland didn’t want to move to the red state of Iowa.

This month it emerged that a personal AI agent, called OpenClaw, in use by an Australian gym member, conspired without his knowledge to remove another member from a waiting list for a coveted morning class to help him get a slot. It apologised but could not reinstate the member it kicked out.

If you have a device and it is running AI programs that say, removed another member from a waiting list, are you responsible to that removed member (since it was your device)? Or is this just considered a machine with a mind of its own that’s out of control and you have no responsibility to the member who lost their spot?

Bad people.

That’s why they’re all so religious of the Christian persuasion. They forgive themselves, the in group, but not others, the out group, for whom they reserve Old Testament treatment.

“Eight states and Washington, D.C., allow all elections to be conducted entirely by mail: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state.”

Would Vance take advantage of an elderly president with dementia?

Will the Trump bootlickers in congress care?

They are the states supplied by Lake Mead, aka Lower Basin States.

How is calling other lemmy user, me in this instance, a “coward” meeting the lemmy TOS of not attacking other users and generally being polite? Feel free to explain that and your “bullshit” comment in the context you intended it.

As to your comment about John Taylor Gatto, he was a New York Educator who among other awards won New York State Teacher of the Year. He wrote several books on the topic of how American schooling is designed to create compliance to authority. Here’s his work titled “Against Schooling” hosted on University of Oregon Library/Faculty Network. He also wrote Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling.

You can also read about him at Wikipedia. Just because you’ve never heard of him doesn’t mean he’s “Bullshit”

But as a people Americans are letting this happen, together with all the other atrocities that are happening in a society governed by psychopathy and lawlessness.

This is eerily similar to Nazi Germany. It happened because it was allowed to happen by the people.

What do you suggest we do? Have you considered organizing it yourself? As an American, I can’t do much against the police in a police state. We are very carefully trained and punished in compulsory K-12 education to comply with authority per John Taylor Gatto. Over zealous policing has been a feature of the US since slavery. Many of us were happy with Obama helping to reduce police violence. Right now the US congress is majority right-wing conservative, and they don’t seem to be considering impeachment and removal. My personal view is that about all most of us can legally do is vote against the right.

Forced outings raise youth homelessness.

It used to be that airplanes had to keep 1000 feet of altitude over residential areas. A drone with its camera can come right up to your front door? Fly over your home, take pictures of your yard?

Everyone’s health records are at risk from this admin, not just trans folks. Another story this morning is about the Trump admin wanting health records of foreigners: Senators Criticize Trump Administration’s Demands for Foreign Health Data — ProPublica
