We need to decisively and collectively demand that every single anti-ICE protester be freed and have their charges dropped - from the Minneapolis 15, the Praireland Defendants, pro-Palestine demonstrators in Michigan, the Spokane 3 - everyone.
And what happens next is up to us Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
The actual message lesson tonight is that despite their control of the state and the media and all of our communication platforms people have experienced fascism and fucking HATE it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2d agoDon Jr: Democrats want to make Ohio a state
From @stopicenet.bsky.social. Community members confronted group of violent ICE agents in Orange County, who shot rubber bullets into the crowd, and injured a minor. When a "community member ask[ed] “You just shot a minor, how do you feel?” The ICE agent laughs and responds, “It felt great.”
my heuristic that 100% of centrist politicians are raging narcissists stays winning. admittedly, that’s only a bit higher than other politicians, of course.
ah, halloween; the holiday where some asshole steals the plastic cauldron you left the remaining candy out in on your stairs while you walk your dog
Jamo's point about the bylines is the critical indicator here. When the Times decides they really want to juice a story, they assign multiple reporters to it - in this case, NINE - which produces a torrent of articles, which then convinces everyone else in the media that this is a Really Big Deal
Jamison Foser@jamisonfoser.bsky.social · 5d agoI wrote about the New York Times’ multimedia full-court press on the dumb Alaska story — a dozen print, video, audio, and newsletter reports at last count — and the news media’s responsibility to cover things in proportion to their importance. www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...
What is it with the right wing that they’d rather blame creatures other than humans for nature’s decline? And their solution is to kill more wildlife?
at least with old school rat fucking operations, there was some intentionality behind it. now we've outsourced it all to machines that neither known nor care about the difference between truth and falsity, but will confidently spew an infinite number of words about anything you ask it.
Emily M. Bender@emilymbender.bsky.social · 6d agoI've been shouting for a long time about how LLMs-as-search despoils our information ecosystem, which among other things puts our democracy at risk. Here is a very direct example of that: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... >>
Jesus Ochoa was named as one of the agents who killed Alex Pretti, and a CBP “Supply chain security specialist” by that name based in Laredo, Texas is listed in the database, and is in various Laredo-related groups like SG-LAR029A-SEALS with more than 60 other Texas CBP personnel.
if any gestapo agents are worried about facing justice for their many many crimes, might i suggest immediately taking the easy way out?

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last wk.Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
on the one hand, its a big problem that the Young Republicans are all nazis. on the same hand, its really weird that 53 still meets the criteria for being a Young Republican
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last wk.So hard to pick a favorite part of this article. Pretending that sending unsolicited dick pics at 53 was a “youthful indiscretion” is good, but don’t sleep on the argument that his wife forgave him for subjecting other women to unwanted nude photos so everyone else should too
Regardless of the failings of present LLMs, I find myself increasingly thinking about the proverbial earpiece that offers perfect personal advice and how people use it first on only a few things but increasingly on everything until their brains shrivel away into nothing but relays for the earpiece.
i can never tell if these people know they are creating a corrupt system of influence peddling or they really are unable to think a single step ahead to the obvious outcome of their ideas
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · last wk.Boston’s chief planner is a true believer in the San Francisco model, in which you make it impossible to profitably build apartments by-right so developers are forced into a politicized discretionary negotiation with the city, which relaxes the rules in exchange for below-market units.
We are an image of the future, we are ecology healing itself, we are the fire which consumes prisons police and whiteness itself, we are the seedlings of a better world and we are already beginning to bloom
Theirs is a movement of terror and suicidal despair, projection and self-delusion, and they can only lose since even winning for them is a living death. But our victories will not simply be experiential and affective, we are going to destroy their world and return this planet to itself in liberation
no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are
Holly Brewer@earlymodjustice.bsky.social · 2w ago“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”
The good news is that political sorting is such that if you oppose bike lanes you're on the same side as Trump and MAGA. It's rather clarifying and should give some people who otherwise think of themselves as liberals or progressives but who reflexively oppose such things pause.
