Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

great story, and an examination of how - as we're seeing in the U.S. - social media wildly amplifies the damage a single propagandist can do. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

There's no way FIFA should be hosting a World Cup in the US in this climate. It's a big risk if they do, potentially endangering visiting and domestic fans.

A mom who wrote poems, a preschooler with a Spider-Man backpack , a nurse who cared for veterans — these are the people they’re afraid of.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is the poor guy that ICE murdered in Minneapolis today

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Quite glad that the big story in British politics is whether Andy Burnham will apply to stand in a by-election and not people being gunned down by state militias. Solidarity with Minnesotans resisting this barbarity.

A breakdown of the shooting.

He was helping direct traffic when federal authorities approached him. Less than a minute later he was dead.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

The other thing that happens tho is that a large number of white people from the neighborhood show up to observe. Literally the only thing that gives ICE goons pause is white people from the community watching them. That’s why every school has parent patrols and vulnerable places ask for observers.

This is the memes-to-murder pipeline in action. A far-right influencer reignited a years-long scandal over welfare fraud, which led to Tim Walz to abandon a third term and to Trump to send in ICE. It all stems from that. The stuff happening online has consequences. And it’s getting worse, fast.

Never buy a OnePlus phone ever again. They now have a hardware anti-rollback fuse that blows if you revert to an earlier version or install a custom ROM. consumerrights.wiki/w/Oneplus_ph...

It’s written right here in the script

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Selling Europe out to Trump and attending Davos in the pay of an Iranian billionaire – who does Nigel Farage work for exactly? Is it the people of Clacton?

The brave people of Minnesota have endured two weeks of the Trump regime’s paramilitary occupation, sent to intimidate, beat, and raid civilians across Minneapolis in a campaign of fear meant to crush protest and dissent. Today the people showed they will not surrender. #3E

This is your brain on markets.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Translated: I'm mates with Russell Brand and have gone down the far right christo fash pipeline.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

“it ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. it’s what’s you know for sure that just ain’t so.”

This also explains why every few years somebody tries to get me in some right-wing movie. I think they assume if you’re anywhere below the sea list, you can be enticed over to their side. Not gonna happen.

Something that is very important here is that this man’s fellow agents didn’t rush to help him or save his life, barely even pulled over. This is not a military unit joined by bonds of brotherhood and experience together. There is no unit cohesion besides a shared desire to hurt people.

Right wing billionaires now control TikTok. It's unsafe.

the costs to society of this derangement are going to be enormous and every one of these people should face judgment for it

Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism. www.jphilll.com/p/the-first-...

Crypto isn't dead it's just boiled down to the essential ingredients of speculation and crime. Three of the best people to cover the industry talking about it here.

This is very good. Broadcast news needs to stop reporting what Trump said and play clips of what he actually said. Retold by a newsreader his voice is given gravitas when the reality was rambling insanity.

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

And that's before everyone else starts throwing low or it satellite networks up there.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Best contract pic I’ve seen in a couple of seasons. Excellent pen-holding, left hand sitting naturally on the page without any weird splayed fingers, solid seating posture, and an actual enormous smile that says he’s happy to be there. 10/10 no notes.

Oh are we doing that whole bit again where we pretend Brianna Ghey died because of social media rather than because of the people who stabbed her 28 times.
