clinodev@clinodev.bsky.social · 23h agoThree of those soles were put on in Guatemala, two factory soles and one made from used car tire that weirdly didn't last longer than the others, but great shoemakers there. Fantastic country for shoes actually. The pacas get random sizes, but very few Indigenous folks wear 12 wide shoes, so. . ..
For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
All that is needed to win the world of tomorrow is courage. The courage to sacrifice small comforts and illusions of false security. And we have leaders. Hold leaders to account and build the movement. Be that which you wish to see in the world. Cultivate righteous action, and others will follow.

Jonathan Howard@joho.bsky.social · 2d agoThese guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.
to imagine how impossible the idea of singularity is, to train a model to make a video game they'd need another model that can judge like 100 attempts and score how "good" a game creation attempt is better than a human can. they think they're doing this for all fields by like next year. lol man
The other source, a senior administration official, said Trump was “blindsided” by the court filing from Pirro, a longtime ally. “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.”
FujiiPonta@fujiiponta.bsky.social · 2d agotwo people familiar with his thinking told CNN. The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”
We've gotten to the sci-fi fascism future where government charges you with a major felony if you give them a code to your phone that auto-wipes the device's data. Privacy or bust? More like Big Brother or bust. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...
A U.S. Citizen Deleted His Phone’s Data. Now He Faces a Felony Charge.
Federal prosecutors charged a man returning to the United States with obstruction because he gave them a passcode that erased his smartphone during a customs search.

Will Bunch: There are rings of death in Donald Trump's America. There are the direct attacks that jolt the conscience - the notorious fatal shootings by immigration agents of immigrants such as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero and protesters such as Renee Good
The smell of death surrounds Donald Trump’s regime from Guatemala to Pittsburgh | Will Bunch
In just a year and a half, Donald Trump’s warped agenda is killing innocent people at home and around the world.

The Trump regime forced Haitian Americans into undocumented status, and is now using that undocumented status as an excuse to force them to wear ankle monitors. It was never about following the law, but about banning Black and brown immigrants while advancing fascism & Christian nationalism.

Had a spike in followers recently so unfortunately I am legally required to remind you all that I’m stupid & disappointing.
i recall the white woman in one of crystal's facebook posts who defended how happy she knew her family's slaves were because her ancestors cherished them so much that they buried their slaves in the basement of their house - "a high honor".

The top of the US govt abusing power with even trivial things *is* the story. Federal law enforcement warped around lies and assuaging one man’s hurt feelings. The cynical, above-it-all attitude of doesn’t matter, stop being hysterical, why not humor him for a bit is part of why we’re in this mess.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d agoSo many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
They get to talk like this now because of how forcefully dismissed by the mainstream the people who told you they were fascists & wanted fascism when they were socially relegated to leaving little clues & breadcrumbs with a wink & a smile were as anti-speech. This must be acknowledged for us to win
