This “I can’t breath” symptom of police custody seems to be endemic.
Dear Police,
Stop fucking choking people.
Signed,
Every non idiot ever

Maybe it is time COSTCO employees start choking people out.

Will credit card companies do anything here? Would they do a chargeback on something like this?
Someone made a small tweak to that cop yelling at people for holding them accountable

Yeah, this really feels like it’s something that should largely be solved at the local level. Obviously some federal stuff will help (no more giving military equipment, national ban on chokeholds, etc.), but the main changes need to be cities reworking their police departments.
My friend who actually bought the tickets put in a dispute with AMEX today and is awaiting a response so we will see
Haven’t seen anything posted about the Seattle CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone). It seems protesters have completely taken over about 6 square blocks by the East Precinct. Police abandoned the area and the people have set up what appears to be some type of burning man-like community. It’s been peaceful, but I’m not sure what the path forward is here:
This guy got a little tour around the area and gave his impressions on it (in the twitter thread). He’s been to Rojava and other areas in the Middle East. He has a podcast called Behind the Bastards which I’ll listen to sometimes

This is what Trumpkins were talking about with that “war lord” stuff I guess.
So the warlord stuff came from a confrontation between a local rapper (I think his name is Raz or something) and a few people that were spray painting a wall in the area, I don’t think it got violent but there might’ve been a gun pulled out by someone. It looks like it might be something made out to be bigger than it actually was.
This interview with someone there now highlights some of the issues they are having in the first few days
That sounds awesome as hell
I would be surprised if Amex terms of service allows for vendors to do what they are doing. I would assume a refund from Amex. If I didn’t get one from them I might question why I even have an Amex card.
Shocker!
