>The law criminalizes being outside with “camping paraphernalia,” like sleeping bags or cookware, without written permission from property owners or the city. It includes a provision that anyone “causing, permitting, aiding, abetting or concealing” violations is subject to up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

>“[The mayor] claims no service providers will get arrested, but ultimately, the law prevails,” said Vivian Han, CEO of the nonprofit Abode Services. “This is for all time, not just while he’s mayor.”

>Greg Ward, a minister at Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation, said his church hands out “blessing bags” of food and clothing.

>“Putting [them] in the hands of the unhoused could be aiding and abetting,” said Ward. “That could make us criminals.”

Elon Musk killed these people

Way to crumple like a Kleenex there, Google. 🙄

Public lies with the intention to mislead the public should be a criminal offence!

>The previous Sunday, the workers spoke with a supervisor at Lamell, Jimenez said, telling him that they wanted a meeting with the company’s president, Ronald Lamell, Jr., to speak about the raise issue. The workers also wanted to discuss what they said were times company superiors entered employer-provided housing without permission. The group asked to have this meeting before they returned to work on Monday, Jimenez said.

>The company did not agree to the meeting, and the supervisor indicated there would be “punishment” if the workers did not show up the following morning, Jimenez said.

>The workers then commenced a work-stoppage on Monday morning. A manager entered the employer-provided home where Jimenez lives, he said, banging on doors and telling the workers they were fired if they did not show up for work.

>The company then offered individual workers their jobs back at a lower wage, $14.50, according to Jimenez — a move he described as “humiliating.” The company also told the workers to vacate their employer-provided homes adjacent to the company’s sawmill, Jimenez said.

>At the protest on Friday, the group marched to Lamell’s office with banners and drums, hoping to ask the company’s leadership for their jobs back — with a raise. Though employees could be seen inside through the office’s windows, none came to the door.

>Instead, a fleet of Essex police vehicles pulled down the snowy road to the office.

>Handing the organ to nurse Tammy Nelson, Shaknovsky told her to mark it “spleen,” even though it weighed at least 10 times as much as the average spleen and was clearly a liver, according to Bryan’s lawsuit. Nelson allegedly did as she was told.

>Within minutes, other doctors and hospital higher-ups swarmed the operating room, the suit states. All of them allegedly recognized the organ that had been removed was a liver but nevertheless covered up Shaknovsky’s mistake by documenting on official records that he had cut out Bryan’s spleen.

>Shaknovsky allegedly tried to persuade hospital staff members that it was the spleen. He repeatedly left and returned to the operating room to tell people that Bryan had died of a “splenic aneurysm,” the suit states. In informing Bryan of her husband’s death, he allegedly told her the cause was a spleen so diseased that it had swelled to four times the normal size and shifted to the other side of his body.

>Ascension nurse Kathleen Montag chased Bryan into the parking lot and lied about how her husband had died to get her signature agreeing to forgo an autopsy, the suit states.

>The cover-up fell apart when the district’s medical examiner performed an autopsy and determined that the organ that had been removed was Bryan’s liver while his spleen was untouched and in the normal position, state disciplinary records show. The medical examiner ruled Bryan’s death a homicide caused by bleeding to death and having his liver removed.

Dear Oklahoma Parents and Guardians,

I am writing to share an important update about rules approved by the Oklahoma State Board of Education yesterday. These rules will now proceed to the legislature for final approval. Each rule is designed to enhance transparency, accountability, safety, and patriotism in our public schools. Here is a summary of the proposed rules:

Enhancing Enrollment Transparency (OAC 210:10-1-5)

Each school district will be required to report the total number of students who cannot provide documented proof of U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status at the time of enrollment. This measure is intended to provide greater transparency and will help us better understand and support the needs of our schools and students.

Protecting Students from Abuse (OAC 210:25-3-4)

School districts will now report employees who resign or are not rehired due to suspicions of abuse or neglect of a student. This step strengthens protections for children and ensures accountability and transparency in reporting misconduct.

Promoting Patriotism (OAC 210:35-3-5)

School districts must establish policies ensuring that the American flag and the Pledge of Allegiance are respected and appropriately displayed on all campuses without unnecessary restrictions.

Strengthening Transportation Safety (OAC 210:30-5-8)

Criteria for bus driver certification revocations and suspensions will be expanded to enhance the safety and accountability of school transportation systems, ensuring that drivers meet clear legal and professional standards.

Improving Educator Knowledge of Foundational Principles (OAC 210:20-13-1)

Teachers will be required to pass a written test based on the U.S. Naturalization Test, promoting an understanding of fundamental American principles among educators.

Increasing Student Transfer Transparency (OAC 210:10-1-18)

This rule ensures consistent reporting on student transfers by school districts and the State Department of Education, providing comprehensive data to help parents, guardians, and policymakers understand transfer trends and decisions.

These rules reflect our commitment to improving transparency, accountability, safety, and patriotism in Oklahoma’s public schools. We believe these measures will help build a stronger and more accountable education system for your children.

As these rules move to the legislature for final consideration, I encourage you to stay informed and engaged. For more details, please visit our website here.

Thank you for your continued commitment to your children’s education.

For Oklahoma,

This kind of bullshit pisses me off. Look at how a few of those line up with Trump agenda. Not a shock coming same asshat that tried to put Trump bibles in all our schools.

I remember reading that the US fought a whole ass revolutionary war over this sort of thing. This has been 7 years of fight for these people.

“When police—including the FBI—raid the wrong house, they must be held responsible for the damages,” said IJ Senior Attorney Anya Bidwell. “The 11th Circuit let the government off the hook in this case, and we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will do the right thing and ensure that Americans can feel secure in their own homes.”

One of the most damning videos I've seen about this. Just reply with this when you come across someone trying to defend this PoS. Fuck this sub-human scumbag.

We needed more storage only to find it's a hair too wide even without the optional towel rack.

Cat likes it though.

Poor guy was probably just trying to sleep without freezing to death and then these assholes show up.

Every time Windows updates itself, my Linux disappears. Actually, it's just hidden, only the boot menu was overwritten. You need a computer maintenance technician to make a new boot menu. I use a USB stick with a live Linux with automatic boot repair tools.

Recently, Windows has become resistant to Boot Repair Disk. Now I have to open computer firmware by tapping "Esc" right after power-up, then select "Boot options", then "Linux".

EU must ban all US-made smart products for its own safety. All closed-source software and electronics that can be used for strategic manipulation and sabotage -- Google, Apple, Amazon, all of it.

We have functional, clunky open-source software that could easily be fitted for any purpose with the money we waste propping up foreign monopolies sabotaging us. Europe has taken a huge risk. I suspect bribery.
