“Amazon notified Parler that it would be cutting off the social network favored by conservatives and extremists from its cloud hosting service Amazon Web Services, according to an email obtained by BuzzFeed News. The suspension, which will go into effect on Sunday just before midnight, means that Parler will be unable to operate and will go offline unless it can find another hosting service.

I, for one, condemn the knee capping of Parler.
I have an established account there, and made my first connection with another MAP [twitter refugee] on Parler, just hours before the plug got pulled.
There were still some of us decent people using that platform.
I have no knowledge, whatsoever, of what any MAGA/QAnon right wing loonies were up to…but there are good people using Parler, who don’t deserve losing another platform in this way.

“This video answers the question: Can I analyze the Ashli Babbitt case? Babbitt was shot by and killed by a police officer as she stormed the US Capitol in January of 2021? Was she a conspiracy theorist? Was the shooting justified?” |

“QAnon is a bizarre conspiracy theory, whose followers believe that Donald Trump is going to save the world from a cabal of Democrats, Hollywood celebrities and billionaires engaged in Satan-worshipping and child trafficking. Since 2017, QAnon has gone from a fringe US movement to a global phenomenon that flourished amid the COVID-19 pandemic. After months of the pandemic and lockdowns, Q’s messages flooded social media. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok all declared war on Q-anon and began deleting related hashtags and accounts. However, Qanon adherents are proving that the restrictions are no obstacle. 0:00 – Calm before the storm |

“The New York City Administration for Children’s Services will no longer work with Theo Sandfort, a professor who headed a separate study on LGBTQ youth in foster care.” COMMENT from SUBMITTER: In 2015, New York City’s child welfare agency worked with Professor Sandfort on a research initiative into foster children. Research findings, released last November, indicated that over a third of young people in the city’s foster care system identify as LGBTQ and struggle to find the support they need. The ‘groundbreaking’ study was praised by advocacy groups and academics. This was before critics of the child welfare agency pointed out the nature of Professor Sandfort’s previous research, specifically: a historical study in 1984 that included interviews with minors in the Netherlands who described their sexual relationships with adult men as ‘positive’. Theo Sandfort is the latest academic to be hunted down and hounded out of a job for undertaking the ‘wrong’ research. Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve, is another. What is so ironic about Theo’s dismissal, is the fact that he is simultaneously highly praised and massively denigrated in equal measure on a single topic: childhood sexuality.” Well, yes…they do like to attack and destroy useful, constructive initiatives and the people involved with them, because their own personal sense of moral outrage is so much more important than actually finding solutions that help actual people, and combating actual suffering in this world. The politics interjecting themselves into human sexuality, are an abject failure…an abandonment of actual science and truth…and an assault on the people.

“Denmark launches children’s TV show about man with giant penis. John Dillermand has an extraordinary penis. So extraordinary, in fact, that it can perform rescue operations, etch murals, hoist a flag and even steal ice-cream from children. Critics condemn idea of animated series about a man who cannot control his penis, but others have backed it.” LOL!
You Go, Denmark! Ah!…So, we see that the crybullies wish to continue monopolizing the public dialogue, and the public market of ideas and expression. This sounds like a good kids show. It’s interesting that The Guardian is reporting this from a neutral point of view. Aren’t they usually a sensationalist, gossipy tabloid?

01) Badass French politician stands up for Poland and Hungary
Thanks to feinmann!
“You have no legitimacy to dictate to nations how they should live. The demands of the European institutions violate the very spirit of the European treaties. You have gone from the motto ‘united in diversity’ to ‘centralised in uniformity’. What is at stake is nothing less than an establishment of a government of judges against the will of the people! Poland and Hungary must stand firm!
COMMENT from SUBMITTER:
A breath of fresh air! Salut Nicolas Bay!”
I should say so…and at this point, I don’t even care what the specifics of this guys positions are…
He’s standing up in defense of the foundational rights of the people, and the foundational limits on government set in place to protect those people and their rights.

“The US has a highly developed pharmaceutical industry offering treatments for all kinds of mental disorders. Millions of Americans are being medicated for ailments as diverse as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and many others. Even young children are being put on psychiatric drugs. If parents decline such treatment, social services may intervene. Many patients, who’ve been taking these pills for years, insist that they do more harm than good. They have experienced disturbing side effects such as suicidal thoughts, addiction and even neurological damage. A lot of patients were put on their medication as children and by the time they were legally old enough to decide for themselves, they had already become addicted. They testify that breaking their dependency on the drugs is extremely difficult because, like any habit forming narcotic, they cause severe withdrawal symptoms. RTD meets some of the sufferers to hear their stories of battling to shake off prescribed medicines. Father of 5, Josh, was given anxiety medication, it caused Akathisia and Dystonia. Both are physical disorders causing involuntary and uncontrolled body movement and have left him disabled. Olivia’s son was prescribed psychiatric drugs to treat Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD). Olivia soon noticed side effects and refused to continue giving him the pills. He was taken by social services and hospitalised. Denis from Russia used to work for a pharmaceutical company in the US but after meeting his wife, who had suffered from the side effects of antidepressants for most of her life, he started questioning the necessity for such widespread psychiatric prescribing. Their claims are supported by lawyers and medical professionals. Psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin is a vocal critic of psychiatric medication. He is adamant that the drugs are toxic and that many problems people talk to physiatrists about can be treated without resorting to drugs. His book on how to stop taking psychiatric medicines has helped thousands of patients who have struggled with the challenge. RTD meets a few of them.” |

“Police and security services among those who will be allowed to use under-18s. But many other public bodies are also on the list of those with permission. They include local councils, Gambling Commission and Food Standards Agency.” Isn’t this materially the same thing as was done by Hitlers Youth? “We are strengthening the safeguards which apply in the very rare cases that a child is tasked to participate in criminality to ensure that their best interests are always a primary consideration in the decision making process.'” So…they’re inventing a new class of citizen, which is allowed to break the law, in ways where all others would face serious consequence?

“DailyMail.com on Monday released the disturbing video in which a MAGA rioter was seen throwing a fire extinguisher into a group of Capitol Police officers.
At the start of the two-minute clip, a fire extinguisher is seen lying on the ground while dozens of police officers work to fight off a mob of Trump supporters surging toward the Capitol building in a futile bid to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election victory.
A protester is then seen picking up the extinguisher and walking toward a throng of fellow rioters clashing with cops.
The video cuts to another protester pushing an officer off the ledge of the building – before the man with the extinguisher comes out of nowhere and launches it at the cops. It bounces off the helmet of one officer before striking another, who falls backward. He appears to regain his balance slightly before the clip cuts off.
Last week authorities revealed that Sicknick had died as a result of injuries he sustained during the riots – including a blow to the head by a fire extinguisher.
Sicknick managed to walk away from the melee before collapsing hours later at his division office. He was hospitalized and placed on life support before being declared dead the following night.”
If they ever identify this guy…he is screwed…His life will be over…He will belong to the state, probably until he dies.
Hmm…”CFD”…Chicago Fire Department?
These MAGA sorts have proven they have no common sense, where it comes to covering up their identities.
