Outsourcing ethics to an AI model is astonishing

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

I do think we’ve got a responsibility to really sit with the truth that some Trump administration things we’re horrified by were Obama administration things too, and we just didn’t listen.

Henry Wallace emphasized how central propaganda, especially racially and religiously divisive propaganda, was to the fascist political project. Eat away at the capacity for civic dialogue amongst a diverse public, and you sow the seeds for a fascistic movement to emerge.

You could charge people $5 each to fire an agent and it'd balance the budget. *slaps down a twenty* I'll take four

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.

It's incredible that from the moment Roger Stone created an organization called "Stop the Steal" in 2016 (not a typo), the GOP strategy to use propagandistic lies to justify stealing elections has been carried out in plain sight. It's the most transparent ploy imaginable, and it might work.

The MAGA terror state is growing. Schiff's report documents huge contracts for things like "an AR style rifle with military specifications." "ICE and CBP have together placed orders to purchase thousands of new high-powered lethal weapons at taxpayer expense.” 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2069...

Ridicule and mockery are highly effective tactics when countering the far right. These groups use demos to film propaganda recruitment videos aimed at confused and vulnerable young men looking for toughness. When they look like fools, they don’t do the normal propaganda effectively afterwords.

We need to know more about Ruben Ray Martinez’s death — including how and why ICE kept it hidden. We sent FOIA requests for police bodycam footage and any internal communication related to Martinez’s death. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

ICE agent Israel D. Hernandez has been cruising around NE Portland threatening to shoot a young man on a bike who had followed him and pounded on his window. He wants people to be scared of him, not the other way around.

The U.S killed three more people in a boat strike in the Caribbean yesterday. The toll of these these extrajudicial killings now exceeds 150 people. All known attacks are chronicled in our tracker, @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Correction: **8** potential sites remain, including Orlando, FL and Flowery Grove, GA.

Thanks to resistance by ordinary citizens, the Trump administration has been denied 11 detention warehouses — that's roughly 35,000 beds. 6 potential sites remain: Port Allen, LA; Chester, NY; McAllen, TX; Starke, FL; Durant, OK; and Lebanon, TN. The fight isn't over, keep going!

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

Ruben Ray Martinez Passenger in ICE Shooting Dies in Car Crash Joshua Orta, 25, a close friend who was with Martinez during the shooting and the only known eyewitness, had planned to formally sign a statement and assist with further inquiries into the incident before he was killed over the weekend

The U.S. domestic market for .50-caliber ammunition is small. But in Mexico, where cartels have deep pockets and a seemingly endless appetite for high caliber firearms, demand is high. Read our latest collaboration:

Hi friends! Just a reminder that I am available for all of your miscellaneous needs;

Hey Citizens Bank - financing ICE detention facilities isn't a great look. Time to get out of the business for good. Protest at over 60 branches in a dozen states on 3/7! www.de-icecitizensbank.org#map #iceout @maddow.bsky.social @indivisible.org @boycottcitizens.org @50501movement.bsky.social

We can’t protect our communities from predators if we can’t warn people. Likely mass reported, please unsuspend. @manfromchaos.bksy.social @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

In bed. Everything hurts. Let's try again tomorrow.

Every state should pass emergency public health legislation that would make concentration camps impossible.

While I usually just ignore this stuff, I think it's worth considering the relationship to a broad culture of deferentialism that helped facilitate fascist state capture in the first place. Waiting for institutions to confirm what we know & see right in front of us will never advance liberation.

In Chicago, 92 people were arrested for allegedly assaulting or impeding officers in immigration-related cases. In 74 of the cases, no charges were filed. In 13 of the cases, charges were filed and later dismissed. Five cases are pending. As of the end of January, no convictions. 2/2🧵

ICE WAREHOUSE TRACKER UPDATES 🆕 Now projecting stays based on ICE’s Detention Reengineering Initiative (7 days for small sites / 60 for mega centers). 🆕 New table comparing facility sewage/water needs vs. local town capacity. Updating as we find this data. tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

Like our warehouse map? You should try our contract map, too. Mike walks us through how to use it. Access it for yourself here: tinyurl.com/DHSContracts.... A couple ground rules: - Desk/laptop preferred - Data from usaspending.gov - Negative/0 sums = contract modifications - Use the data for good

Page 34: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct."

In many cases, the Flock destruction was clearly intended as a public message, as in Eugene, OR, where the saboteurs left note at the scene that read "Hahaha get wrecked ya surveilling fucks." The message was carried on the local news. At the end of the year, Eugene terminated its Flock contract.

idk man I feel like if we're ALL on the watch lists it kinda loses some of the pizzazz

Short of killing someone with his own hands, that’s it - he’s done all the crimes. At this point, the fiction of a legitimate government is impossible to maintain, because it’s not hypothetical anymore: there actually is nothing he could do that would be bad enough for Congress or SCOTUS to act.

Like, this is THE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS here. If blood royalty is held to greater legal culpability than a "democratically elected chief executive" then the entire philosophical concept of the American Democracy is null and void.

They’re gonna be so mad when they’re all in jail and don’t get to use our money for this treatment anymore

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

If you need a few more knives in your gut, or perhaps someone walking beside you in your grief and care and futility and love and rage, read @lukeoneil47.bsky.social 's "We Had It Coming." And I'm only on page 3.

weird to be in a place where i really believe things can and will get better but i know things will be getting worse very fast and very soon

Slowing the gears is now a reverse UNO card.

It’s a suitable greeting any time of day. “Good morning!” “Fuck ICE.” “Indeed, fuck ICE.”

If "bringing radios and first aid kits" equals aiding terrorists, there's a long list of moms, teachers, bus drivers, camp counselors, and scout leaders who should be on the dock next, I guess.

Everybody who brought flowers to Navalny's grave on Monday did so knowing it would land them on a police watchlist, or push them higher on the lists they're already on.

We stopped Platform Ventures KC from selling their $80,000,000 warehouse to DHS to create a new concentration camp in South KC, we can also stop CoreCivic.

Work has been slow for day laborers at Voz in PDX. One theory is that people are worried about ICE showing up to their home if they hire day laborers. If you have home repairs, yard work etc that would take at least 4 hours, considering hiring someone from Voz portlandvoz.org/hire-a-worke...

⚠️ PSA! Oregon Voters! 📣 👇🏾

Tell Enterprise Rent-a-Car: ICE OUT! Oregon Park in Portland on Monday, February 16th at 3PM.

🚨ICE just got access to one of its biggest private detention center operators last night, thanks to a Navy contract. The move lets ICE bypass normal contracting processes to tap GEO Group to operate its detention centers as they race to buy detention sites to house 92,000 detainees nationwide.

I really don't think the manufacturers appreciate just how much wearing these is going to put their customers at risk of getting their asses kicked.

Woke up & figured I’d put this here, just so everyone’s aware that we do, in fact, have constitutional laws for our congress to follow & uphold, which they’re so spectacularly failing at, and have been failing at, since Trump’s first term in office. 👇🏾
