New from 404 Media: Google removed an ICE-spotting app too. Called Red Dot, an immigration support group on the ground in Chicago told me it was using it. Google now removed, just like Apple did with ICEBlock after DOJ pressure. Google calls ICE vulnerable group www.404media.co/google-calls...

In other words, the real story of 2025 so far is a drop in far-right terrorism, NOT the rise in far-left terrorism. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio explained it best: "We won. We’ve got what we wanted."

Bad Bunny, one of the biggest musical artists in the world, said he avoided the US in his tour because he thought ICE would set up ouside his shows.

**PhD POSITIONS** I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students to work on sociality and cognition in Monk Parakeets, starting Fall 2026. Full ad is here: hobsonresearch.com/index.php/20... (please help spread the word!)

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

another way to say this: fascism isn't about rules people follow, it's about categories people are in if you're in the right category nothing you do is bad if you you're in the wrong category nothing you do is good it's not about what you do, it's about who you are

My mission in life is to make mutual aid a common practice in the US. A prerequisite of that is a kind of communal subjectivity. I'm the board chair of Pact which fiscally hosts 15+ mutual aid orgs. I built Papertree as a community bank account. And now I'm building online tools for community.

These people make more in a day, an hour, even in a minute than I do in a year. But never in my 30+ year career have I had to do something a thousandth as degrading as what you see here.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

my personal opinion is that the targets of that violence have more than earned the right to celebrate just by outliving him

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

Our team had an amazing week at @ic2s2.bsky.social in Norrköping Sweden and we will post pictures of our posters and talks soon - the big news is that we're so excited to host #IC2S2 in Burlington in 2026! youtu.be/p412S4GnPkc

I'm not going to repost any of the insane antisemitic conspiracy bullshit that grok is spewing today, but it highlights how absolutely essentially is that we not let LLMs become a form of epistemic grounding for our society.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

In basements all over the country, information warriors are furiously prompting AI to generate synthetic images of massive crowds cheering on a military parade in Washington D.C.

Despite the widespread and often employer-encouraged adoption of AI tools, a new study finds that artificial intelligence chatbots "have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation."

i would imagine hasan knows, rationally, not to talk in situations like this. he did anyway because cops of all stripes are very good at making you feel like in *just this one particular situation* it makes more sense to talk a bit. don't ever give in to that impulse.

Never forget that Weight Watchers got its start by charging money for a free city-run diet program. We released a whole WW episode a few years ago: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

When does it become appropriate to connect the president's decades-long push to expand the death penalty to the current project to abduct and imprison political dissidents? When do we take seriously the threat that he may attempt mass extermination?

A good discussion of potential jury tampering in Energy Transfer’s SLAPP lawsuit against Greenpeace

If any journalists are writing about the recent NSF cancellations, I can give you a good example of a grant that was framed as AI workforce development (and is not about misinformation) that seems as if it was cancelled due to a control-F for the word misinformation.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove? and what constitutes a "shove"? and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing? the final Alt-Right Playbook is now live. it's called The South Bank of the Rubicon. youtu.be/0YFdwfNh5vs
