Violence breaking out at Sanders rally in Colorado
Supposedly it started when a white bro called black person racist over his "Black guns matter" t-shirt.
Pro gun advocates and racists. What a basket of deplorables.

Former Deputy Attorney General Shares Dire Warning If William Barr Does Not Resign
Donald Ayer, a deputy attorney general under George H.W. Bush, predicts a grim outcome for America if Barr continues to serve Trump. And there's the problem which I've bolded, Droopy Dawg Barr serves Trump, NOT the country. Meanwhile....

U.S. Judges Call Emergency Meeting Over Fears About William Barr And Trump: Report
“There are plenty of issues we are concerned about,” U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, president of the Federal Judges Association, told USA Today. The fact Barr has acted more like Trump's personal lawyer instead of the country's Attorney General is damned troubling. Hell, it's downright alarming.

“We’ll have to see what comes out of the censorship,” the former White House national security adviser said during a talk at Duke University. With the country in a 24/7 Constitutional crisis thanks to Trump and the GOP, it's damn good to know Johnny Warhawk has his priorities in order.

https://www.dw.com/en/protesters-in-...ion/a-52412455Activists in the Indian capital of New Delhi are expressing concern over the use of facial recognition by the police amid intensifying protests over the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
The protesters are reportedly anxious about the lack of regulation around facial recognition and its possible role in the crackdown on the protest movement. They point to the fact that the government didn't acknowledge it was using the technology for this purpose until a national newspaper, The Indian Express, first broke the news in December.
Back then, the technology was used to identify and filter out what the police called "law and order suspects" at one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rallies.
When the Delhi Police first acquired its Automated Facial Recognition System (AFRS) in 2018, the original purpose was to identify and locate missing children by matching facial images.
Bezos fund is just another tax write off so no one questions his ludicrous amount of wealth.
Boris Johnson is copying Trump's winning strategy of only hiring the best people:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-51538493Downing Street has said its adviser Andrew Sabisky has resigned, following criticism of alleged past remarks on pregnancies, eugenics and race.
Labour had called for Mr Sabisky to go for reportedly saying black people had lower average IQs than white people.
He is also alleged to have said compulsory contraception could prevent "creating a permanent underclass".
...
Mr Sabisky, who describes himself as a "superforecaster", was appointed earlier this year after the prime minister's chief adviser Dominic Cummings called for "misfits and weirdos" to apply for jobs in Downing Street.

Yeah he's hiring lunatics.
As for my cynicism to bezos (whilst I know West is joking) Bezos repeatedly has shown he doesn't give a **** about long term charity work like Bill Gates (whom I ALSO think is a piece of **** but at least does a better job of hiding it) and am personally starting to swing more towards Clement Atlees view that Charity is worth nothing compared to taxation and the government working correctly.
Russian cyberwar activities continue. Facebook usually only reacts when third parties point out the networks to them:
They could show up here. They already may have.Last week, Facebook announced a new takedown of 122 user accounts, pages, groups, and Instagram profiles originating in Russia that violated its policy against foreign or government interference. According to Facebook’s internal investigation, the network had links to Russian military intelligence and primarily targeted Ukraine, along with neighbouring countries in the region.
The operation was examined by Graphika, a social media analytics company, prior to Facebook’s takedown of the accounts. This analysis highlights three main takeaways:
Ascendance of private messaging: beyond making public posts, these accounts engaged – and sometimes entrapped – their targets via private messaging. Such use of direct messages and emails to approach journalists and political figures has featured in several other information operations and is of growing tactical significance.
Coordinated activity across platforms: Graphika found that the Russian operation went beyond the Facebook accounts in question to a number of other smaller online platforms and blogs, which can be more easily leveraged to “launder” content and obscure its origins on social media.
Media organisations are targets too: agents of disinformation seek to legitimise their content by having it re-published by credible outlets to which they can outsource “the narrative baton”.
