Nayib Bukele's Crackdown on Dissent in El Salvador
This is a very good interview of Noah Bullock, Executive Director of the Central American human rights organization Cristosal by Quinta Jurecic in which they discuss what's happening in El Salvador, some of the history, and the implications for what is and could happen here in the United States.

@ATLeagle The ABA doesn't disbars attorneys. That's done state by state, by state bars.
The ABA does advocacy, continuing ed - stuff like that.

@knittingknots2 "The Department is actively litigating against the ABA"
Anyone know what this means? Has the DoJ sued the ABA, or is this because the ABA is a party to the lawsuit brought by attorneys against the Trump admin for persecuting attorneys who defend people the admin doesn't like?
It makes no sense. But then little has made sense since 2015.

Rep Jamie Raskin, "a Democrat from Maryland, said his constituents are outraged that military families have been subjected to censorship. “One asked a school official why they removed photos on the walls of Susan B. Anthony and Dr. King but not Leonardo DaVinci and was told: ‘He was a real historical figure’.”

@inthehands Eggs are $7 a dozen at Fry's/Kroger's in Arizona today. Trader Joe's - which is usually less expensive than Fry's - had no eggs.

@dalias It's concern trolling, and it is tiresome.

@dalias Oh, come the fuck on. Can we please stop with this bullshit? "Oh, my feelings are hurt because I'm not being catered to." That is only happening in your fevered imagination.

@freemo I'm sure our overlords appreciate your defense.

@BLTpizza It's actually $12.80. But the "inflation calculator" doesn't even begin to tell the whole story. In 1979 two friends and I rented a three-bedroom apartment on Charles Street in Boston. It cost $600/month. Today that apartment rents for $4,400/month.
If the price increased by only the rate of inflation, the rent would be $2,900/month.

@anildash I hate AI with heat of a thousand suns. It comes up as an issue for me primarily with searches. Does it matter whether you suggested search engines? It's a blight.
Axomamma
@anildash I'm sorry, AI blows chunks except in very, very narrow use categories - NONE of which include search engines used by the general public. AI is an information wrecking ball.

@alexglow @drahardja @pluralistic Have you people never seen "popular culture"? It's all disaster fantasy all the time. Murder! Mayhem! Horror!
The "problem" with rightwing assholes and tech bros (but I repeat myself) is not "disaster fantasy," it's that they're assholes who can't distinguish between "fantasy" and "real life."

@mrdiamondj How did you not see it coming given who founded it?
Axomamma
So despite Google providing information about how to turn off their bullshit AI search results, you cannot actually turn off their bullshit AI search results!
Why am I not surprised?
I'm not seeing the point of using Google to search when what it provides is a synopsis of an accumulation of bad information cobbled together into bullshit "results" by Google's AI.

Your #misogyny doesn't just make you stupid, it makes all of us stupid.
Do better, motherfuckers.

It would be very funny if the VP debate stage was set up with couches instead of podiums.

#TimWalz on #JDVance - "I can't wait to debate the guy. That is, if he's willing to get off the couch."

@Tengrain I'm sorry, I don't remember Democrats advocating violence against their opponents.
That would be Republicans.
Trump and his party created this situation. They're the ones who refuse to allow any kind of firearms regulation.
No one you're speaking to here has committed any political violence, and saying it will not stop Republicans from rounding up you or me or anyone who's a registered Democrat when Trump is elected.

@Susan_Larson_TN I don't either. I went through the Bridge Access website to make an appointment but it's confusing whether I'll be charged because it redirects to Walgreens to choose an appointment but says nothing about Bridge Access.
