🚨#BREAKING: A father in Amarillo, Texas says he had to MOVE WHERE HIS KIDS SLEEP because a police officer used the city's Flock cameras to STALK him 76 TIMES over a woman the officer wanted for himself... ...prosecutors only gave the cop a MISDEMEANOR and a $4,500 bond. This is Amarillo, Texas, the officer's name is Christian Eder. Eder had a thing for a female officer. That officer had once dated a local dad. So Eder went hunting. From February to June, he ran that father's license plate through the city's FLOCK cameras 76 times. Every gas station. Every school pickup. Every daycare run. Police confirm there was NO case at all, no assignment. When the system asked him why, he typed "city planning." and dozens of times, just one word: "want." The victim's words: "I'm a creature of habit. I pick my kids up from the same school, the same daycare. It hit me: this guy knows exactly which way I go." The father said he knew something was wrong when he walked out to his car at 1 a.m. and saw a MARKED PATROL UNIT crawling through his parking lot behind him. He texted Eder and asked him to stop and here's the reply, word for word: "lol, tough guy. Whatever y'all got going on is between y'all. Keep it that way. Have fun, my dude." 😉 He says Eder used his department phone to pull up the female officer's LIVE body camera feed to track her and the county attorney told him the department said that wasn't unusual. So this man did everything right. He went to Internal Affairs. The department investigated and to their credit, they fired Eder. Then the system took over, and it protected the cop. Prosecutors REFUSED to file felony stalking charges. Instead: 78 counts of "tampering with a government record." A misdemeanor. One $4,500 bond for all of it. Think that's not enough? Here's the part that will make you sick. Under Texas law, the "victim" of that charge is... the City of Amarillo. Not the father. Not his kids. He was told he might not even qualify for victim services. "How, all of a sudden, am I not the victim?" He asked police for a description of Eder's personal vehicles so he could watch for him. They said no. The stalker has every piece of his information, but the dad... he isn't allowed to know what car to look for. "I've had to change where my kids sleep in my house. I've had to change everything." The chief admitted to City Council that officers could run these cameras off-duty on their WORK PHONES, with no alerts for high-volume searches, and the department's audit never flagged 76 hits on one plate. The only reason we know about this one is that the target found out. THIS IS PURE INSANITY!!!!!!!

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/…

I feel ashamed of myself for how silent I have been and for that I am sorry. If you support an ICU nurse getting gunned down in the street by anonymous masked men just fucking unfollow me. I don't care anymore and I wont go on pretending this isn't happening. He never drew his weapon. A federal agent disarmed him of his legally registered and lawfully carried/holstered firearm, and then dumped 11 rounds into him. Our rights as Americans are being stripped away in real time. Fuck anybody who tries to gaslight you into believing this is okay, or that these people are in some way heroes.
🚨🚨🚨UPDATE🚨🚨🚨 🚨🚨🚨 ICE HAD FULLY SIEZED THE VICTIMS GUN BEFORE EXECUTING HIM🚨🚨🚨 You can see the agent in the light jacket pull the gun from the victim and walk away, and then ICE proceeded to offload multiple rounds into him.

I’m sorry. I try not to post political stuff. But I just watched a video of ICE officers attack a man who was helping a woman up, pin him on the ground, take his (legally owned) gun he NEVER attempted to holster, and then 6 officers shot him to death. He was white (not important to me but def to MAGA assholes). He was a citizen. He was simply helping another citizen get up. And he was pinned to the ground, disarmed and THEN ecexuted by masked agents working for Donald Trump’s gestapo. Fuck you if you support this.

For years, we watched and listened to MAGA screeching about Epstein files, demanding they be released and for accountability. That's when they believed it was only Democrats in the files. Once they learned their lord and savior trump was in there, they changed their tune drastically. Pam Bondi went from "the list is on my desk" to "there is no list." trump went from "I will release the files" to "the files are a Democrat hoax" to having 1,000 agents scrub his name and redact the shit out of the partially released files. If MAGA really cared more about "protecting kids" than "protecting pedophiles," they'd be outraged. Instead, they're doing a victory lap because they think we're triggered by context-free pictures of Bill Clinton amidst thousands of blackened pages. We're not. We don't give AF about that dude, especially if he hurt kids. But we DO give a shit about accountability and transparency, and protecting kids. That's why we're different.

The ACA was passed in 2010. It's now 2025. In 15 years these feckless assholes haven't come up with an alternative.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet. MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

.@photomatt This is how #WordPress treats people who've helped the community for a decade - shaming them rather than seeking solutions? I've 3x now offered to edit/delete whatever triggered the flag, and #WP support has instead opted to rub my nose in the carpet.

This was the reply that got me banned: wordpress.org/support/topic/… I've offered to revise/delete it multiple times. Now they're insulting me. I don't know what else they wanted - begging, money? Frustrating.

Follow-up: a much kinder support team member responded this morning, mentioned this post, and unlocked my account. Glad it's resolved, though it really shouldn't have been such a big deal nor required any pressure. Thanks, all/whoever passed this on.

Awful way to treat long-time customers, @StackPath. Surprise price change for E20 legacy accounts messaged yesterday and then new charges on cards <24 hours later. No time to consult clients & plan. Even support staff sounds unhappy at how this was rolled out. #customerservice

I’m gonna vote for the party that wants to give fourth graders free school lunches instead of the one that wants to force them to have their rapists baby.
