If you haven't noticed the direct lines between AI Slop, colonialist genocide, late-stage capitalism, and environmental destruction, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's article Vampire Slop is as good a starting point as any: read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/...

“We’re going to flood the zone. You’re going to see more ICE agents [than] you ever seen before.” The time to get whistles into the hands of your community is right now. We will send you whistles, for free, in quantities of 100-thousands. We do it every day. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Loud-ass low-flying NYPD chopper flying south on Nostrand in PLG. Any ideas what’s going on?

If you don’t want more space trash, consider voicing your concerns here.

the bushes were people 😂

Fuck AI, fuck ICE, and long live a free Puerto Rico.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

“Hundreds of immigrant mothers” in Texas concentration camp uprising

These are tumultuous, pivotal times for US higher ed. I’ve thought repeatedly abt how much I hope that, this admissions season, candidates will choose schools that embody the values they want to define a better future world. The prestige factory institutions have exemplified moral bankruptcy.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

Y’all I wish Zohran’s transition committee could just run the whole country. They keep adding brilliant mind after brilliant mind!

The kids are alright

Yes, I get the irony of posting this here. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

White people need to organize other white people to fight against anti-immigrant racism while following the lead of immigrants from the global majority. Go to @surj.bsky.social for more info. (These are my visual notes from last night’s webinar).

My god. He’s gone after the Civil Rights Act!!!! www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

More of this, please!

RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

You are not worried enough about this

Read Mahmoud Khalil's words at the end of today's hearing:

BREAKING: An immigration judge just ruled that Mahmoud Khalil can be deported on the paltry evidence submitted by the government — a 2-page letter that *admits* Khalil's conduct was not unlawful, but says his beliefs undermine "core American interests" @delaneynolan.bsky.social

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

The Trump administration is now canceling people's Social Security Numbers, treating them as if they are legally dead. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

If you ever have the opportunity to fly Avelo Airlines—don’t.

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

This is a bad look. Bottom line.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

For the data nerds out there, here's a chart of the largest coordinated protests in U.S. history from my 2018 book HOW TO READ A PROTEST Today's "Hands Off" protests, in 1000+ locations around the country, rank as one of the very largest decentralized days of protests EVER.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Lots of folks showing up to NYC Hands Off protest in the rain.

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

Oh, how I wish this weren't satire! stealmytesla.com

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES. Here's a thread of involved parties talking about the need for secure communications (when Dems are involved):

Roses are red Violets are blue

In the latest assault on First Amendment rights, Columbia University has expelled and fired Grant Miner, President of UAW Local 2710, which represents thousands of Columbia student workers. The firing comes one day before contract negotiations were set to open with the University.

What's the over/under on Schumer cancelling this book tour to avoid protesters?

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!

Now the CHIPS Act, which was intended to bring microchip manufacturing to the US, is in danger because of Cheeto Mussolini. qz.com/chips-act-fu...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Made some stickers. Want one? Lmk. (Make art, y’all. It helps.)

If you haven't already, now might be a good time to freeze your credit with each of the three bureaus to make it harder for the shadow president and his teenagers to mess with your sensitive info. It's simple and you can unfreeze whenever you need to. www.experian.com/blogs/ask-ex...

I bought FKA Twigs' _Eusexua_ yesterday. @pitchfork.com gave it a 9.1 out of 10 and so do I. If you need to disconnect from *waves hands around wildly* this, buy it. Don't give streamers any money. Buy it directly on FKA Twigs' site. It's $5 to download. store.fkatwigsofficial.com

You almost certainly already know this but maybe others who want to help don't know this: If you go to the Wayback Machine and enter a url like this www.cdc.gov/contraceptio... it'll list everything saved, if its in the 4 or 5 digits you can put .pdf in the filter box

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.
