Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

Two things you need to understand about our growing surveillance state: 1 - You're treated as a suspect. Tracked everywhere you go, 24 hours a day. 2 - If you're falsely accused by the state (and its AI), it's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to clear yourself. This is your life, starting now.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Super interesting 🧵 on darkness and how we conceive of it (both legally and culturally). 🔭🧪

I love the art people create. It's truly amazing to just witness the creations that other humans want to make and share. It's beautiful

Fwiw 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 are already required in law or policy and are not being followed so this is already half dead on arrival.

Dragon in the deep. 🐉⁠ ⁠ Dragonfish (family Stomiidae) are cunning predators. Although they are strong swimmers, they prefer to lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting fishes and crustaceans. This black dragonfish (Idiacanthus sp.) was spotted at 527 meters (1,729 feet) in Monterey Bay.

how much unchecked influence over society & government do they have to have before we quit saying billionaires and start saying oligarchs

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

DHS is tracking people who protest using biometrics and entering them into databases; hunting people who send emails on behalf of asylum seekers; tracking neighbors who help immigrants w/ facial recognition and license plate readers, and Hakeem Jeffries wants more surveillance tech for every agent.

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

This is why so many tools and programs and pieces of hardware and even analogue art supplies known for being First in Their Class tank when they start trying to make a cheaper product for a broader, less specific consumer rather than just continue making the quality thing they’re known for.

This is why every company that makes specialized tools for particular communities starts to fall apart when they set their sights on increasing shareholder value, because that always means “find a way to make this product with specific utility appealing to people outside of that community”

Ending billionaireism isn't just socially and economically necessary to maintain human civilization, it's a humanitarian measure for the billionaires themselves. They're clearly very sick and we can help them

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Every time Trump claims election fraud, it is a massive lie and the media should be saying that. Countless lawsuits, recounts, and statistical analysis have proven that our elections are honest & accurate. That is the truth & anyone claiming otherwise is lying. (1/2)

Periodic reminder that what's marketed as 'youth social media bans' actually amounts to requiring people to provide personally identifying information in order to access whatever content a given government disfavours.

If you have a billion dollars or more, you are evil. You don't start out as evil, so it's not like only evil people ever get a billion dollars; it's just that being a billionaire forced you to make a choice, be evil or change how you do things and stop being a billionaire. Billionaires choose evil.

we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want. Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity
