🐱👤 Meta's ingenious scheme to dodge scammer #accountability is about as useful as a 'how-to-not-get-caught' manual for #pickpockets. 🙈💼 The real #scam here is pretending this playbook is anything more than a fig leaf for #corporate #inertia. 🤷♂️

"US to screen for ‘anti-Americanism’ in immigration applications"
Feels like "Americanism" here is a fig leaf for something.

The situation in #LosAngeles, #California is a new one. #Trump has called up the CA #NationalGuard, not another #state’s guard. So there’s no #FigLeaf despite the fact that both the #mayor & the #governor have objected to the action.
This SHOULD make the act illegal acc/to the #PosseComitatusAct without the express invocation of the #InsurrectionAct.
The fig leaf Trump is attempting to employ is the assertion that the guard will only be protecting #federal personnel & property.

That right is meaningless if the #president can simply approach a different #governor & ask her to deploy her state’s #NationalGuard into the unwilling governor’s #state. In this scenario, the cooperating governor becomes a #FigLeaf for the president to use the #military as a #police force anywhere in the country, free from the constraints of the #PosseComitatusAct.

The case before Judge Burroughs was filed after #KristiNoem revoked #Harvard's #SEVP certification to enroll non-US #students.
In announcing the decision, Noem, without providing #evidence, accused the #university of "fostering violence, antisemitism, & coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party." [#FigLeaf]

'27 new #BathingSites considered for #England as activists highlight #sewage dangers
#BathingWater status means government is obliged to test #WaterQuality throughout summer
Almost all of the new bathing sites – 22 out of the 27 – are in #Tory constituencies. Conservatives have recently suffered in the polls because of a perceived failure to act on #SewagePollution.' https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/26/new-bathing-sites-considered-england-campaigners-highlight-sewage-dangers

@ilumium @edri doesn't mean @[email protected] isn't breaking the laws nor that it's anti-democratic and evil.
#NotLegalAdvice OFC.Also can we please stop that #cyberfacist #figleaf|ing?
@MOGiS already wiped the floor with #Zensursula almost two decades ago, and she still owes everyone who can change #DNS settings an apology for claiming everyone more #TechLiterate than her is a "hardened pedo-criminal"...
I want my #HumanRights and #CivilRights back - all of them since 1949 - WITH INTEREST!
