That bill pretty much allows gerrymandering-Which is not okay!

We need to make sure this bill never passes!

Dean Obeidallah at The Dean's Report:

On August 20, a little before dawn, 87 year-old Lidia Martinez was abruptly jarred awake by an unexpected knock on her door. The longtime activist who for over 35 years has worked to expand voter registration among seniors and veterans in south Texas, cautiously peered out the door. Standing on her doorstep were nine police officers dressed in tactical gear and carrying firearms. After showing her a search warrant, Martinez’s home was searched as she was forced to stand outside in her nightgown in her driveway in full view of her neighbors. Martinez was later questioned for three hours after which the police seized her phone, computer, personal calendar and more.

[...]

These bad faith searches orchestrated by Paxton were predicated on the claim that the people being investigated were registering non-citizens to vote—despite zero evidence presented of wrongdoing. Very alarmingly, if Donald Trump and House GOP have their way, these types of raids would be happening nationwide with federal law enforcement under a GOP President.  That is why GOP House Speaker Johnson is now demanding the proposed SAVE Act be included in any deal to provide funding to keep the government open.

To be clear, federal and state law already makes it a crime for non-citizens to vote. But this new federal legislation would establish criminal penalties for registering an applicant to vote in a federal election who fails to present documentation proving U.S. citizenship.  That means that what we are seeing in Texas is coming attractions of what the GOP wants to do nationally.

Keep in mind despite Texas AG Paxton’s two year investigation, no charges  have been filed against any of the people whose homes were searched.  Indeed, there may never be charges because even Paxton’s basis for the search is BS. In his press release announcing the investigation, the Texas AG presents no evidence of wrongdoing. Instead, Paxton makes baseless claims like these organizations have set up voter registration booths outside state agencies where people could register inside. Paxton’s press release literally includes this question with no answer: “Why would they need a second opportunity to register with a booth outside?” But nowhere in his press release does he even allege any criminal conduct—only questions.

And Paxton—a close ally of convicted felon Trump—showed his bad faith earlier in August on a radio show when he peddled lies about non-citizens voting. Paxton declared, “There’s a reason Joe Biden brought people here illegally. I’m convinced that that’s how they’re going to do it this time, they’re going to use the illegal vote. Why were they brought in, why did he bring in 14 million people?” adding, “He brought them here to vote.”   That is nothing more than the type of BS you hear on Fox News. But now Paxton has weaponized government by targeting people registering those he believes will vote for Democrats. The backlash to Paxton’s actions have been swift. LULAC requested that the Department of  Justice investigate Paxton's office for Voting Rights Act violations. LULAC CEO Juan Proaño and the group's national president, Roman Palomares, summed up well what is really going in their letter to the DOJ: "These actions echo a troubling history of voter suppression and intimidation that has long targeted both Black and Latino communities, particularly in states like Texas, where demographic changes have increasingly shifted the political landscape.”

The Texas GOPs voter intimidation tactics are based on the faux outrage campaign against noncitizen voting.

Beware of user @wisepiratedestiny

I don't usually make stuff like this but I've noticed this person has been following accounts as of recent that post anything Reclusa related.

I urge you people to block them as they are not a good person. In fact, I've had a history with them back in the early days of PMTOK.

BTW their icon is my art. I drew it so they can leave me alone. They never gave proper credit... But anyway. Back in 2021, they stole some fan characters of mine and even role played as them when I told them to stop

Screencap below is by my boyfriend on twitter

The link to the full thing will be here

Also they have a SUPER creepy stalker behavior as evidenced here

Furthermore they harass people to draw stuff for them as they will not take no for an answer. The evidence is in the link but it's also seen in this screencap where they were harassing this account to draw Olly

Someone even in the comments told them to stop and they kept going

The even creepier part of this is that they're possibly a grown woman that have some sort of mental problems. How I know they're a possibly an adult is thanks to their youtube channel

So please, I advise you to block them on site. Thank you for reading.

UPDATE: She has a deviantart account, a main one and an alt. She steals art on the main account. I advise you report the account as well as the stolen art.

Main account

Alt

Update: her main da account’s been deactivated for a while now

So for the time being, we can rest easy. She hasn’t been active on the alt since november.

UPDATE: ON DECEMBER 28 2024, SHE RAIDED THE RECLUSA SERVER MADE BY @reclusafanpage and I got some valuable info on her. I will send it here so people can see what I got.

Will censor names for the sake of privacy (minus theirs)

First here's what happened when she raided the server.

They brought up that they don't know how to draw which is why they stole art

I wasn't able to ban her (despite being a mod) until the owner woke up (they forgot to add some stuff regarding mods but it's now fixed) so i had to time them out. But man, it wasn't fun dealing with her. I will spare the whole incident because it's not important.

Now here's where I'll show off the somewhat personal info she gave out because I think its extremely relevant.

She claims that she's 25 which makes sense regarding the video. However, people in the server didn't believe her so I had to ask her in dms if it was true. So I did so, and the way she sounded serious made me conclude that she was telling the truth.

I then asked who was the person in the "recent" video she has in her channel, and it's confirmed its her sister. But she also gave out who she's living with as well.

I asked other personal questions, but i will not share for the sake of privacy. However after this, I had to "satisfy her" by roleplaying as Reclusa. And out of character too, because she has a tendency to "speak with the said character" if he was acting the way she wanted to see him, which is out right childish. (before, i just RP'd as myself)

And on and on this went. So guys, if you see her in any Brothership severs, ban her immediately. And also, don't forget to BLOCK HER ON SITE.

[bluud-sugar]

posting this here too because im in a dire situation, the first image is currently outdated and I only have 2 cents now

any support is absolutely vital, just a few dollars in my ko-fi means everything. ill be updating my comm post as well for anyone interested. i will do anything for some help.

[greysprunki]

guys, can we report this guy? Pretty please?/srs

PLEASE SPREAD THIS.

Info under the cut (tw doxxing) + IMPORTANT UPDATE.

If you didn’t know by now, Nyanko, the creator of Sprunki, got hacked by this guy, Parlo. Parlo hated the fuck out of Sprunki for some reason. He ended up hacking Nyanko cause he for some reason thought it was a good idea, like if laws don’t exist.

why is this such a problem? He is threatening Nyanko and he may or may not publish a doxxing of Nyanko. He may also put Nyanko’s family in danger since he is also doxxing them. He also revealed Nyanko’s face (not sure if it’s their actual face).

They have a video where they say that they finally hacked Nyanko and will drop out their doxxing.

on that exact same video, he responded to other comments. Here are some replies.

As you can see, this guy isn’t even thinking about how he’s putting a 14-15 YEAR OLDS LIFE IN DANGER. He just thinks this is acceptable and deserved.

UPDATE 1: I’m genuinely tired of this situation, but I won’t stop updating it. Parlo has gone far. He leaked Nyan’s family photo, posted their voice recording, and a lot more on their channel. He is also targeting another person. He now has 17 subscribers. And the last thing is that PARLO ATTEMPTED TO SWAT NYANKO. IM GENUINELY SERIOUS.

Another thing is that this guy also sent GORE IMAGES to a discord server.

in conclusion, you should just report him, block him, and move on. DONT even give him a single comment, like, dislike, just NOTHING. He’s doing this for either attention or he doesn’t have a brain that functions correctly.

#FightingforVCHA #WeLoveYouKG #AlwaysWithKG

Gaeun and KG are little kids yet so strong speaking out against abuse.

[rusty25]

what nobody tells you when you start transitioning is that testosterone causes cognitive regression. i've been on t for almost 5 months now and during that time i lost friends, hell i lost my best friend, made mistakes at work and i am on the worst terms ever with my mom. these things were all preventable if only i had acted a bit more maturely. but i didn't bc currently i possess the risk assessment of a 15 yo child. i thought things would be okay but they weren't. and this is all too familiar cuz the last time i was plotting and scheming like this and was failing miserably at it was 6 years ago. puberty sucked for the first time around for me and it sucks just as much rn

Heads up folks, NicoNicoDouga is currently down due to a large scale cyberattack

The attack happened on the 8th and the site is still down in terms of video streaming. Apparently there were reports of Ransomware being used during the attack.

The site is still “down” but the blog part is back up but from the report, videos and content posted are ok so do not fret. The site is still down as of this post (save for the blog) and it seems they are working their hardest to fix it and do damage control.

Here is a rough translation of their most recent post:

Report and apology regarding cyberattack on our services

As announced in Niconico Info dated June 8th, 2024, Dwango Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeshi Natsuno) has been unable to use the entire Niconico service operated by our company since the early morning of June 8th. It has been confirmed that this outage was caused by a large-scale cyberattack, including ransomware, and we are currently temporarily suspending use of the service and conducting an investigation and response to fully grasp the extent of the damage and restore it.

After confirming the cyberattack, we immediately took emergency measures such as shutting down the relevant servers, and have set up a task force to fully clarify the damage, determine the cause, and restore the system. We would like to report the findings of the investigation to date and future responses as follows.

We sincerely apologize to our users and related parties for the great inconvenience and concern caused.

Response history>

Around 3:30 a.m. on June 8, a malfunction occurred that prevented all of our web services, including our "Nico Nico" and "N Preparatory School" services, from working properly. After an investigation, it was confirmed that the malfunction was caused by a cyber attack, including ransomware, at around 8 a.m. on the same day. A task force was set up on the same day, and in order to prevent the damage from spreading, we immediately cut off communication between servers in the data center provided by our group companies and shut down the servers, temporarily suspending the provision of our web services. In addition, since it was discovered that the attack had also extended to our internal network, we suspended the use of some of our internal business systems and prohibited access to the internal network.

As of June 14, we are currently investigating the extent of the damage and formulating recovery procedures, aiming for a gradual recovery.

June 8, 2024

We have begun an investigation into the malfunction that prevented all of our "Nico Nico" services from working properly and the failure of some of our internal systems.

We have confirmed that the cause of the failure was encryption by ransomware. "Nico Nico" services in general and some internal business systems suspended and servers were shut down

A task force was established

First report "Regarding the situation in which Nico Nico services are unavailable" was announced

June 9, 2024

Contacted the police and consulted with external specialist agencies

Kabukiza office was closed

KADOKAWA announced "Regarding the occurrence of failures on multiple KADOKAWA Group websites"

June 10, 2024

Reported to the Personal Information Protection Commission (first report)

Second report "Regarding the situation in which Nico Nico services are unavailable" was announced

June 12, 2024

Reported the occurrence of the failure to the Kanto Regional Financial Bureau (Financial Services Agency)

June 14, 2024

This announcement

This cyber attack by a third party was repeated even after it was discovered, and even after a server in the private cloud was shut down remotely, the third party was observed to be remotely starting the server and spreading the infection. Therefore, the power cables and communication cables of the servers were physically disconnected and blocked. As a result, all servers installed in the data centers provided by the group companies became unusable. In addition, to prevent further spread of infection, our employees are prohibited from coming to the Kabukiza office in principle, and our internal network and internal business systems have also been shut down.

In addition to public cloud services, Niconico uses private cloud services built in data centers provided by KADOKAWA Group companies, to which our company belongs. One of these, a data center of a group company, was hit by a cyber attack, including ransomware, and a significant number of virtual machines were encrypted and became unavailable. As a result, the systems of all of our web services, including Niconico, were shut down.

The Niconico Video system, posted video data, and video distribution system were operated on the public cloud, so they were not affected. Niconico Live Broadcasting did not suffer any damage as the system itself was run on a public cloud, but the system that controls Niconico Live Broadcasting's video distribution is run on a private cloud of a group company, so it is possible that past time-shifted footage, etc. may not be available. We are also gradually checking the status of systems other than Niconico Douga and Niconico Live Broadcasting.

■ About Niconico-related programs

Until the end of July, official Niconico live broadcasts and channel live broadcasts using Niconico Live Broadcast and Niconico Channel will be suspended.

Considering that program production requires a preparation period and that Niconico Live Broadcast and Niconico Channel are monthly subscription services, we have decided to suspend live broadcasts on Niconico Live Broadcast until the end of July. Depending on the program, the broadcast may be postponed or broadcast on other services.

The date of resumption of Niconico services, including Niconico Live Broadcast and Niconico Channel, is currently undecided.

Niconico Channel Plus allows viewing of free content without logging in. Paid content viewing and commenting are not available.

■ About the new version "Nico Nico Douga (Re: Kari)" (read: nikoniko douga rikari)

While "Nico Nico" is suspended, as the first step, we will release a new version of "Nico Nico Douga (Re: Kari)" at 3:00 p.m. on June 14, 2024. Our development team voluntarily created this site in just three days, and it is a video community site with only basic functions such as video viewing and commenting, just like the early days of Niconico (2006). In consideration of the load on the service, only a selected portion of the videos posted on Niconico Video is available for viewing. The lineup is mainly popular videos from 2007, and you can watch them for free without an account.

■About the Niconico Manga app

We have already confirmed that many systems were not affected, and we are considering resuming the service with a reduced-function version that allows basic functions such as reading manga, commenting, and adding to favorites. We aim to restore the service by June 2024.

If any new facts become known in the future, we will report them on Niconico Info, Official X, our company website, etc. as they become available. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Thank you for your continued patronage. This is the Niconico management team.

Due to the effects of a large-scale cyber attack, Niconico has been unavailable since the early morning of June 8th.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

As of 6:00 p.m. on June 10th, we are working to rebuild the entire Niconico system without being affected by the cyber attack, in parallel with an investigation to grasp the full extent of the damage.

We have received many inquiries from you, such as "Will premium membership fees and paid channel membership fees be charged during the service suspension period?" and "What will happen to the time shift deadline for live broadcasts?". We are currently in the process of investigating the impact, so we cannot answer your questions, but we will respond sincerely, so please wait for further information.

Our executive officer Shigetaka Kurita and CTO Keiichi Suzuki are scheduled to explain the expected time until recovery and the information learned from the investigation up to that point this week.

We will inform you again about this as soon as we are ready.
