ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

Well, this is absolutely bone chilling and not remotely surprising. it's the shit DHS has always been doing since it began 25 years ago but now at the current level of technological possibility x fascist permissions. (The Deep State? It's not The Jews™️, guys.)

Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.

🚩 Please take all of this seriously. On one hand this exhibits how AI can easily be weaponized in PSYOPs. On the other we see a correlation between need (according to Maslow's Hierarchy) for love & belonging coupled with escalatory suicidal/homicidal ideation.

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Another day, another reminder that about 15% of US women & 4%of men have been injured via intimate partner violence (IPV) & 30% - 60% of IPV perps also abuse children in the household. Accountability for perps + safety for those harmed. Always.

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

“You’re a huge fan of Lord of the Rings, how come you don’t like Palantir?” “You’re a huge fan of 1984, how come you don’t like the surveillance state?” “You’re a huge fan of Fahrenheit 451, how come you don’t like ritual book burnings?”

These women are being held in the Brasile South Louisiana I.C.E. Processing Facility.🚨 Some have been there for months, separated from their families. One woman was recently put in solitary confinement for releasing a prior video. Multiple reports of abuse from male #ICE agents. Spread the word.

Was interviewed about the Galliano thing. Besides the usual stuff about what he obviously didn't do to repair harm, & how easy it is for those who want access to rubber stamp things for those with power / $ I noted that real repentance work is about *humility* & *relationship* & it matters.

My heart hurts too much to even say something ironic about this. What if we just fucking start fighting for every single precious human life before they’re under attack. What if we treat now like it matters as much as it does.

Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 3d ago

an immigration lawyer working on some of these Haitian cases today says an ICE officer told them, re: the ankle monitors: “We’re following our orders.” Direct quote Hm

Twin Cities friends, note that Earthbound Farms is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms, and their products are carried by the food co-ops.

Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4d ago

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

Ah, the Brock Turners of the world (I'd say it's a whole political party full of them but there are plenty on the other side of the aisle too)

“He would get in trouble and just—nothing ever seemed to happen..." “Because he is Max Miller,” said another classmate. “He gets out of stuff" “He’s rich, he’s well-connected, his family is well-connected. It’s not surprising to me that he doesn’t pay consequences for the things he does."

Behind every link is one of two possible truths, and we must take each out as the moment demands: "For this, the internet was created" "This is why we're all about to be dust and ashes."

Imperialism story: 1st c. CE, a Celtic (Catuvellauni) chieftain named probably Karadeg (Recorded as Caratacus) resisted the Romans for almost a decade, was ultimately defeated was dragged to Rome where he said: "You who have got such possessions & so many of them, still covet our poor huts?"

So: Fuck Max Miller and reminder that abusers are everywhere and demanding accountability is the absolute moral baseline.

I think everyone should look at the data from NISVS studies. The statistics on lifetime intimate partner and sexual victimization are sobering. www.cdc.gov/nisvs/about/...
