🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

So ~1 week after they killed Renee Good, ICE chased a man, shot and injured him reportedly through the door of a home, then blanketed a majority Black neighborhood in a tremendous amount of chemical weapons and flash grenades in the middle of the night. That's where we're at.

Being right about trump was boring, tedious, partisan, ideological. Being wrong about trump? Heterodox, contrarian, free thinking.

Sure. But but it was way better for your career, and the esteem of many of your highly placed professional peers, to be wrong about this and so many people were. They’re doing great btw www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

get the fuck out of my city

i have written this a few times now but the reason JD Vance spends all day posting is that they barely tolerate his presence in the white house and have locked him out of every decision of consequence. he is basically unemployed

One of the top replies under an image on X of Renee Good's body slumped over in her car after an ICE agent shot her is another user asking Grok to put her body in a bikini. Grok then generated the image.

One AI image portrayed a woman mistaken for ICE shooting victim Renee Good as a fountain, with water pouring out a hole in her neck. Another depicted her lying under the knee of an agent in a scene reminiscent of the 2020 killing of George Floyd. www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

It's hard to understand why Google & Apple haven't removed the X app from their app stores. Any other app spreading this type of content would have been banned already.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

You cannot have “AI” without having “machine that almost solely exists to create nonconsensual sexually explicit images of mainly women and children.” The former exists in tandem with the latter. That’s how this industry has worked so far, and it has only gotten worse with zero accountability

It would be especially terrible if people used a good VPN when interacting with this website. And if they're uploading attachments, they really shouldn't remove the file's metadata beforehand using a free site like metadata2go or exifremover. Would hate to see pranksters preserve their privacy

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

Celebrating the first snow day of the season by painting some new birches. Y’all got me excited for them again 😆. 16”x20” oil on canvas #art #painting #trees

This was well done and also what I’ve been saying for years, glad to see more people on it

I'm not. 10/10

@drruler.bsky.social @onekuosora.bsky.social I'm so sorry

Absolutely crying laughing

This is of course something that @samleecole.bsky.social has been writing about literally since the dawn of deepfakes. But the scale of this exposure is really crazy. Millions of images leaked by extraordinarily shoddy security, left exposed on the internet for months

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

She's making a break for it

pretty ironic how blank contrarianism with no underlying belief somehow always underflows back to loving the people who are in charge of everything

We’re still reporting on Kristi Noem, contracts at DHS, and the ad deal. If you have any information we should know, my email is [email protected] and I’m on the encrypted messaging app Signal (you can message me at js_kaplan.85)

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

I became an AI skeptic bc the only cogent use cases AI boosters gave were, "a better search engine". but regular search engines already worked fine for 99% of people. the few folks who needed something more were like, me and my colleagues, none of whom found tremendous value in AI search tools

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

If you're on the fence about adopting a blind or otherwise impaired pet, I can vouch, they're just as loving and chaotic as any other. You'll love being the one to give them a home!

i don’t think you can maximin vote share with polls and spreadsheets, and i think it is a problem that the most prominent and influential political commentators right now are more devotees of data than experts in narrative

These numbers are shocking. It’s also worth remembering that OpenAI is largely marking its own work here “The company designed its own benchmarks, and it's unclear how these metrics translate into real-world outcomes”

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

(from the inbox) Bikes were essential to ICE watching and rapid response on the north side today, helping people better locate feds in traffic. In this anonymized video, cyclists tail masked agents in a white Denali with Georgia plates through Rogers Park:

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

"women don't like the vehicle" is going to be lodged in my brain's neocortex for the rest of my natural life www.wired.com/story/owning...

According to rapid response, feds have grabbed one person from the Addison/Kimball Home Depot this morning. Several people detained in Back of the Yards as well, still all over the area. They've also returned to Carpentersville this morning, and were seen near an elementary school there.

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he's doing and i want to smash every computer at the school

No it isn’t stop complying in advance

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss. reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...
