These third country deportations are among the most evil acts of the Trump administration. They're trying to extrajudicially punish people for seeking asylum, up to and including with death.
Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com · 4d agoGreat reporting from @emilybregel.bsky.social about a gay man who’s been in the US since he was four, imprisoned in a “hotel” in Equatorial Guinea since April.

Please take my word for this: absolutely nothing makes ICE angrier than being legally, lawfully monitored by concerned citizens. It makes it much harder for them to use their lazy snatch-and-grab tactics, and they cannot do much about it. It turns their own violent methods against them.
Guys, the best weapons to protect your neighbors from ICE are NOT GUNS They are CAMERAS, WHISTLES, and a well-organized RAPID RESPONSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SYSTEM. ICE is better-armed than you'll ever be. But they like to rely on secrecy, and you can make it much harder for them to be secret.

This exactly. They are all just babysitting an overtired, spoiled toddler who really just needs to go to bed. But they all go to jail if he goes to sleep so instead of getting anything done they just pivot the entire apparatus to indulging his ever-changing, half-assed whims

Once you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society

Whether or not Will says stuff you disagree with online, he spent a lot of time in this very car tracking ICE during the Minneapolis invasion and coordinating on-the-ground neighborhood defense, you have to have absolutely lost the sauce to believe he is your enemy enough to deserve this.

Between this and the daily LinkedIn puzzles (which are genuinely fun), it feels like a decisionmaker at LinkedIn saw the writing on the wall and is genuinely trying to turn things around.
Tits McGee@scientits.bsky.social · 7d agoOh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts

Man the right-wing machine is going full-on Red Scare Communism panic. The US Communist Party boasts 11 thousand active members. That’s, uh… 0.000034% of the American population. I don’t think Communism is happening anytime soon guys.

Basquiat seyde that "art ys how we decorate space, and musique ys how we decorate tyme." It doth followe that poetrye ys how we decorate thoughte and sense, and narratyve ys how we decorate memorye. And all are middel fingeres agaynste death. Make art, or else.
And given the demands of the attention economy & the dynamics of algorithmic media, those mythologies are now just being continually reinforced, because hearing something that "sounds right" is what causes people to click. No one is learning or following what's actually going on. Just us freaks.
Despite being published over 40 years ago, Neuromancer remains the defining sci-fi classic of today because it speaks to eternal, timeless needs: a fast computer and a hot girlfriend
