BREAKING: Judge dismisses murder, weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealth CEO killer Mangione reut.rs/45Fin56

For like the billionth time this year, wherever THE LINE is, we're way past it

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

if democrats are seriously considering taking an anti-gun stance right now in the midst of the rise of true fascism in america, it is the most blatant example of a controlled opposition I've ever seen. let me ask you this. do you think vietnam would have won if they didn't have guns?

LET US FLEE THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE ALREADY BUILT AND IN USE

GENERAL STRIKE TODAY: DO ONLY WHAT YOU MUST AND AVOID SPENDING A SINGLE CENT

The bad news is that this site is almost certainly filled with feds by now. The good news is that we can give them all fetishes that will absolutely make them question their entire lives. This is the plot to pretty much every Grant Morrison comic by the way.

The smoking gun. This is when the surveillance state we are currently in started.

It’s not lost on me that the first journalist they’re really going after is a gay Black man Again the entire administration feels like it’s performing for Twitter fascists more than anything

Ah, I see I am waking up to another signpost on the road to fascism having passed

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

The smoking gun. This is when the surveillance state we are currently in started.

Surprise surprise. While one former Clearview employee said the company tried to expand its potential customer base by courting “anyone they met,” including Democrats and progressives, they found few takers outside of MAGA. The Clearview team’s connections reached deep into Trump’s inner circle.

This article is really long and really scary, and you should read every word of it. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yarvin believes democracy is a “dangerous, malignant form of government” and has argued for a soft coup and a purge of civil servants in favor of political loyalists. This “butterfly revolution,” as he called it, looks eerily similar to Trump and Musk’s blitzkrieg against the federal bureaucracy.

Neoreactionaries consider themselves a high-IQ natural aristocracy and long for a corporatist strongman to usher in what Thiel calls a “futuristic” version of the past, one in which technocrats rule as an ennobled caste. They view technology as the engine to remake society on their terms.

This article reveals how Ton-That, who obsessed over race, IQ, and hierarchy, solicited input from eugenicists and right-wing extremists while building Clearview, and how, from the outset, he and his associates discussed deploying the tech against immigrants, people of color, and the political left.

Immigrants aren’t the only ones at risk. Clearview offers a range of frightening apps. “It creates a really disturbingly powerful tool for police that can identify nearly every person at a protest or a reproductive health facility or a house of worship with just photos of those people’s faces.”

Many local and state law enforcement agencies now rely on Clearview as a tool in everyday policing, with almost no transparency about how they use the tech. Clearview’s business model is based on “weaponizing our own images against us without a license, without consent, without permission.”

By the end of Trump’s first term, Clearview had secured funding from Peter Thiel, and signed up hundreds of law enforcement clients around the country. The company doled out free trials to hook users, urging cops to “run wild” with searches. They did. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Clearview Users could run a probe which identified other sites an image was found, making it easy for them to further profile targets with other information like: religious or political affiliation, family and friends, romantic partners, sexuality. All without a search warrant or probable cause.

Clearview AI compiled a massive biometric database that contained billions of images they'd scraped off the internet and social media without the knowledge of the platforms or users. It analyzed these images, creating a “faceprint” for every individual. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

General strike tomorrow

Economists generally will agree that a well-designed basic income can support workers without major disincentives. No study on UBI has shown a meaningful drop in employment, beyond students and new parents. We want those people to focus on school and raising the next gen.

we are doomed because liberals would sooner join the Nazis side than admit they were wrong about people like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden

I have searched for a while trying to find a single post covering this with any kind of wide attention. This article is being suppressed. They don't want you to know that they intentionally stopped Renee Good from receiving life-saving treatment from an on-site medical professional.

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

This makes the post-9/11 NSA warrantless surveillance program look like digging through people's trash (which the FBI also did). That caused such a backlash there was still congressional activity on it a decade later. This is absolutely blood-chilling levels of state overreach and so far crickets.

The Trump regime is creating a surveillance state and using it to crush our liberty. Get active now, while you can.

The rule of law completely abandoned. Untrained, masked agents get to determine your fate. As in one hundred other areas, Trump will likely lose this lawsuit, but remedies will take years. This agency needs to be stripped to the foundation, abolished, but first we need a public reckoning.

In 2021 I was telling people in my field of art history to stop legitimizing the use of image recognition, to stop applying for grants to use AI in identifying the subjects of portraiture bc this was what such work was being used to further. All this was obvious. theconversation.com/how-ai-is-hi...

"No indications of foul play" says the cops. Huh, I wonder why that is?

And "no one has been ID-d yet AFAIK" means fuck all. You don't think they will use their Palantir facial recognition shit on people and then harass them afterwards? The fascists can wait. Just look at what happened in Ferguson to people who were well-known activists.

He said the quiet part out loud ages ago. This was always the plan.

Rest in Power, Keith 🕊️

People in Indiana, Minnesota, and North Dakota need to check for this.

Incredible interview from @socialistdogmom.bsky.social with @letsgomathias.bsky.social. There's a direct line from the demonization of antifascists to the recent murders in Minneapolis - the far-Right is hoping to grease of wheels of mass repression and state organized murder. Read the book!

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

We cleared 97% we now just have 3% left to go in less than 3 days to pay off this recent Emergency Room visit, let's keep the momentum going we're getting close! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ge...

Saw them deactivate their account in real time, so I strongly recommend anyone that commissioned them to file a chargeback as soon as possible cuz charging 400 bucks for each AI trace is ridiculous

I had no idea that when Sen Jesse Helms added the last minute amendment to the ADA that excluded trans people and thus excluded us from health insurance policies as a matter of course, it was because a TERF disabilities advocate traded us for GOP votes. 19thnews.org/2026/01/disa...
