"She explains that these ultrasounds will do more than check that the baby is thriving in its current womb. They will determine how fit a mother is" Such powerful use of the speculative in this chilling piece from @claudiamonpere.bsky.social in @fictivedream.bsky.social

Dystopia embued

Geophysicists say there is an increased risks of destructive floods and wild fires due to climate change. A guy who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says there's nothing to worry about. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

He can say he went to the gym

"The robot wife is the final solution to the problem of female humanity. She has the appearance of a person. She performs all the functions of a person, but has no self that might conflict with her role. 50 years later, the tech industry actually built Stepford. They just called it something else."

Knowledge is power

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens. Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals. # = Prisoners.

There is an emerging community led convening occurring outside of City Hall beginning at 6pm. Some councilors will speak starting around 6:30pm. There is no place in this city for ICE.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.
