Should’ve gone into swimming

I OD’d on fent that I bought as MDMA from the silk road in 2017

For a brief few years we had communication platforms that could topple dictatorships but now here we are.

Maybe the first time so many people got directly asked ‘are you willing to sacrifice to protect those weaker than you?’

They can’t really pretend anymore.

Yeah but she was a sitting senator so she was in the club. She was a black woman so she ticked the right boxes to balance out Bidens white man. And she was a prosecutor who worked well with the police so she countered the defund the police message thay centrist dems were sure would sink them.

She was a very very logical choice for Biden’s VP.

Yeah, they’re so weird about not wanting to be shot in the back

Because people with the @lemmy.ml tag are constantly saying the dumbest tankie shit ever.

When I see someone say Ukraine in 2014 was a CIA backed coup against the democratically elected pro russian government - it comes from that server, every time

It’s great, and I have no idea what the website looks like. I use 3rd party apps on my phone exclusively. Something Reddit doesnt let me do.

After trump won tesla stock shot up like a hundred dollars because everyone thought elon would leverage the win into more money but now people don’t think that’s the case so it’s going back to where it was before the election

Nothing has to change as long as France is willing to end the world for Finland and Russia believes they’ll do it.

If they were truely conned sure. But most of these guys just thought the pain would be placed on others, not them. They’re fine woth others suffering, but the tears start to flow when they experience anything negative at all.

Accept the annexation and in 10 years the entire US government will be run by Canadians. Just look at their entertainment industry, they can’t resist our Canadian charms.

People did originally move to Mastodon, but they got tripped up when they had to select a server and the whole exodus failed until bluesky opened up.

Rikers Island’s Deplorable Conditions: A federal monitor’s report revealed unsanitary conditions at Rikers, including showers covered in mildew, infestations of roaches and flies, and broken fire safety systems. Veronica Vela of the Legal Aid Society described the jails as “rife with abuse and violence” and emphasized that these conditions reflect a lack of prioritization for humane treatment[2]. Judge Laura Taylor Swain also criticized the worsening violence, self-harm, and deaths in custody, calling the conditions “abnormal and unacceptable”[5].

• Deaths and Overcrowding: In 2025, Rikers recorded its first death of the year, adding to a grim tally of 34 deaths since 2021. Eighty-six percent of detainees are held pretrial, presumed innocent, yet subjected to overcrowded and dangerous conditions. Advocates have called for urgent reforms to meet the legal obligation to close Rikers by 2027[8].

• Human Rights Crisis: Over 80% of Rikers detainees have not been convicted but endure degrading conditions. Advocates like Keli Young from VOCAL-NY demand investments in housing and alternatives to incarceration to address systemic issues[9].

• Calls for Federal Oversight: Amid these crises, advocates argue for federal receivership to improve safety and accountability. However, city officials have resisted such oversight despite mounting evidence of systemic failures[2][5].
