When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony

Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

Trump has declared war on Chicago and now his secret police are running racist ads in Edgewater. Let’s be clear: ICE isn’t welcome here. Trump isn’t welcome here. And they’re certainly not going to recruit their goons from here.

There's a million holes in how this could even be done, nevermind the effect it has on all of society and not just trans people like they think it'll have Even if it does get implemented, fuck off, if I need to go to the bathroom, I'm just gonna go, just try to stop me

Defense Minister Katz has proposed moving the entire remaining population of Gaza to a single camp where they will be "urged to voluntarily emigrate". One can imagine what his alternative would be for people who refuse. His blueprint is clear as day and unimaginably evil. FREE FREE PALESTINE

Israel defence minister plans to move Gaza's population to camp

Israel Katz tells Israeli media the so-called "humanitarian city" in Rafah will eventually house 2.1 million Palestinians.

I haven't touched CoD in 15 years the last thing I really remember is when you think you've escaped on a helicopter only to be caught in a nuclear blast and I remember everyone talking about how impactful that cut scene was. I feel like a small Victorian child watching this clip.

Yep. This operation has Fox News embedded, and they are splashing these images all over their screens.

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!

I can't overstate how absurd - not just Very Bad for Democracy, etc. - this is. MacArthur Park is just a place where kids go to play and adults hang out. There's nothing threatening happening there on a random Monday.

NEW: Federal agents rolled into MacArthur Park in LA in an unmarked armored vehicle. My source tells me Mayor Bass showed up with LAPD—and the so-called “agents” got the hell out. Shady AF! (Just west of DTLA)

When the reckoning comes as it will in time, there will be polite, respectable people declaring that we must let bygones be bygones, that the path to healing lies in embracing and forgiving the evil-doer I cannot emphasize enough that those polite, respectable people are also the enemy

We're going to need Nuremberg trials when this is over, yes, and to send a significant number of people currently in the federal government to prison. But we're going to need an unwavering commitment to ostracizing the supporters of it, as well. Never accept them again in polite society.

Freedom OF religion, Freedom FROM religion. #politics #activism #religion

Seriously though, fuck this country.

ACAB is putting it lightly, what a bunch of overly sensitive pieces of shit who got no business having any authority. One little insult hurts their feelings and they assault and arrest someone for absolutely nothing. And they wanna call us snowflakes lol

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Trump’s administration is openly telling the court “No. You can’t really make us.” We are at that stage of fascism. We do not have meaningful oversight from the courts. If this stands this is the end of the rule of law. Things are legal entirely because the King says they are and he has the army.

Who’s going to make him do it? You can order the release but ultimately he knows he doesn’t have to comply because you ain’t got leverage, he does. I say we go to the days of the Black Liberation Army "free Assata" style. newrepublic.com/post/196837/...

Sharing stories of trans joy and support is very important. They are just normal families who love their kids and it is a national shame they had to risk so much just to take care of their kids. The more you share how normal this is, the more transphobes will die on the vine.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Happy Pride, Everyone.

If you would like to know what it is like living as trans right now: I cannot think of a single week in the last 5 and a half years since I transitioned where a politician, celebrity, government or public figure of some prominence hasn't attacked trans people. It is constant. Never-ending.

Uncut Femmes@juliagiantrat.bsky.social · last yr.

the average cis person would have to be admitted into a psych ward if they suddenly had to manage the regular stress of day-to-day that we all face with the added pressure of being a tranny and having the Entire World focus on trying to kill you almost every day

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

the way people can just say sentences like this without being punished. "Congrats, you just helped fund diversity, equity, and inclusion. No refunds." YOU ARE A NAZI. WHY ARE WE NOT KILLING YOU.

I am cracking up because there’s no way these people are serious. Planting trees is “woke” now?

Trailer 2.

Countless game devs have received death threats because of people like Grummz, I believe several studios have even had bomb threats called in. But the moment someone calls them out by their real name from their LinkedIn page, then they get mad and start crying

Guy who posts every single dev’s LinkedIn when they work on a game he doesn’t like: “they’re doxxing us!!!” I hope this dude dies of a massive heart attack.

I need you to know that my 91-year-old grandmother gave this a like on FB.

I’m a trans woman with a 9 year old son. I do all of these things and more while also having a high stress job. The audacity of this gives away the game that they don’t even think we are human.
