Wait I don’t think I ever showed any of you guys the results of the chicken photo shoot

I have never once encountered a person IRL who knows that the US has been bombing Somalia since 2003. Every single person I’ve ever mentioned this too says they’ve never heard of it.
There are a lot of historically Black colleges and universities going into lockdown over threats to the campuses right now in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death.
Some have received direct threats, and others are going into lockdown out of precaution. Please spread this around if you can, and check-in on any Black college students you know.
charlie kirk died fighting for the right to be a nazi, and his children are too young to even have any memories of him by the time theyre adults. charlie kirk died at age 31 after making turning point usa at age 18. all his life ever was and ever will be is being a piece of shit, unpleasant and unhappy nazi, before being shot by a gun. a gun he fought for the right for the shooter to have and use in the way they did. its just insane.
Holy shit Nepal's whole government is fucking GONE lmao
Theyve had a corrupt as hell government full of nepo babies which killed 19 people the other day (including unarmed children) during a protest and Gen Z was like "No we're gonna burn you mother fuckers down", they've burned down the presidential palace, the parliament, police offices, houses of politicians. Theres people chasing ministers down in the streets!
That last pic is of a dude who *defeated* a riot cop and STOLE HIS FUCKIN GEAR!! Theyre using the strawhats logo as a rallying symbol of rebellion just like in Indonesia
If you thought going to a Pride event or drag show was just another night out, think again. If you were in Florida, it might land your name in a government database.
That’s what’s happening in Vero Beach, FL, where the Florida Attorney General’s office has subpoenaed a local restaurant, The Kilted Mermaid, demanding surveillance video, guest lists, reservation logs, and contracts of performers and other staff—all because the venue hosted an LGBTQ+ Pride event.
To be clear: no one has been charged with a crime, and the law Florida is likely leaning on here—the so-called “Protection of Children Act” (which was designed to be a drag show ban)—has already been blocked by federal courts as likely unconstitutional.
But that didn’t stop Attorney General James Uthmeier from pushing forward anyway. Without naming a specific law that was violated, the AG’s press release used pointed and accusatory language, stating that "In Florida, we don't sacrifice the innocence of children for the perversions of some demented adults.” His office is now fishing for personal data about everyone who attended or performed at the event. This should set off every civil liberties alarm bell we have.
Just like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) and other bills with misleading names, this isn’t about protecting children. It’s about using the power of the state to intimidate people government officials disagree with, and to censor speech that is both lawful and fundamental to American democracy.
Drag shows—many of which are family-friendly and feature no sexual content—have become a political scapegoat. And while that rhetoric might resonate in some media environments, the real-world consequences are much darker: state surveillance of private citizens doing nothing but attending a fun community celebration. By demanding video surveillance, guest lists, and reservation logs, the state isn’t investigating a crime, it is trying to scare individuals from attending a legal gathering. These are people who showed up at a public venue for a legal event, while a law restricting it was not even in effect.
The Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that subpoenas forcing disclosure of members of peaceful organizations have a chilling effect on free expression. Whether it’s a civil rights protest, a church service, or, yes, a drag show: the First Amendment protects the confidentiality of lists of attendees.
Even if the courts strike down this subpoena—and they should—the damage will already be done. A restaurant owner (who also happens to be the town’s vice mayor) is being dragged into a state investigation. Performers’ identities are potentially being exposed—whether to state surveillance, inclusion in law enforcement databases, or future targeting by anti-LGBTQ+ groups. Guests who thought they were attending a fun community event are now caught up in a legal probe. These are the kinds of chilling, damaging consequences that will discourage Floridians from hosting or attending drag shows, and could stamp out the art form entirely.
EFF has long warned about this kind of mission creep: where a law or policy supposedly aimed at public safety is turned into a tool for political retaliation or mass surveillance. Going to a drag show should not mean you forfeit your anonymity. It should not open you up to surveillance. And it absolutely should not land your name in a government database.

THE BIRDCAGE (1996)
dir. Mike Nichols
Newly released footage of US forces conducting a lethal strike on a reported smuggling vessel in the Southern Caribbean earlier today. 2 Sept 2025
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed.
"Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.
Someone needs to see if any of Trump's favorite channels aired Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" recently because this is just a dipshit's interpretation of that movie adaptation
