    “He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are,” Bondi said. “…we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out, because that’s not a protected speech. That is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country.”’

    Actually, I believe it is protected speech. There are apps that let people know where speed traps are. You mean it’s not constitutionally protected to say to someone “hey, did you see the cop down on the corner?” Ridiculous. Of course, what she means to say is that the constitution doesn’t matter and laws are made up now, and they’re just going to do whatever the fuck they want. They’re just not quuuuuite ready to go through the trouble of literally setting the constitution on fire yet.

    She said that there’s been a 500 percent increase against ICE agents who are just “trying to do their jobs and remove public safety threats from… communities.”

    Exactly what the Nazis who ran extermination camps claimed.

      I loathe and despise using percentages like this.

      500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.

      Federated application for a map with markers and notes?

      It seems for me that this would be too narrow a purpose.

      Maybe a general-purpose public notification map. With some functionality allowing to separate markers by their authors and by tags. Or it can be spammed with bogus markers. By tags - well, for it to be general-purpose. By authors - because moderation can’t be left to instance admins.

      And, of course, I’m personally for separation of moderation, instance ownership, identities and hosting, but my own toy attempt showed me that the logic of checking the chain of privilege delegation is kinda PITA. That is, separating identities from instances is not that hard. And communities. What’s hard is the community owner delegating rights to other identities, and in general authorized actions. It’s a task of determining which privileges does an identity currently possess, and how does it affect its own actions on the community, and in which order should those be processed … Everything is harder than it seems. Sad.

      So federation is fine LOL.

      The cops ain’t terrified of soy people. I can assure you that. Quit protecting illegals. My wife came through the proper channel and is now a proud Latina American. Go outside and enjoy your life instead of waiting it on law breakers.

          You fags are the weakest form of human on this earth. Y’all remove comments that you don’t like because all of you are sore losers. Now go ahead and delete this as if I won’t be back to insult you babies.

            Oh would you shut up? Seriously. It’s obvious your projecting and insecure about yourself, don’t put that on us. Go play with your sock puppet or something.

    Expected this after recent news articles criticizing it for hurting ICE officers.
