May this one day happen to them.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

They've already normalized people just being disappeared. No family is notified. No access to a lawyer. Just smashed windows and missing people with zero accountability. Everyone just assumes they're being deported and released in another country because the alternative is too much for most.

It’s true. And it’s much better to learn how to do that naturally. I didn’t really have a choice to stop drinking, a cardiologist basically made that choice for me. But I don’t miss it as much as I thought I did. I miss caffeine much more.

Full on concentration camps. "We don't know half of what's going on in the camps, but we know enough" is echoing from 85 years ago.

i met this guy on Saturday. he was engaged in the devious business of walking a kid who'd just been maced back to his apartment and washing out their eyes.

Georgia Fort was arrested by the FBI at 6:30 am in her home simply for covering the anti-ICE protest at a church in Minnesota. Please consider donating to support independent journalists who have been targeted by Trump.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

“Tyrants rule with wealth they steal from the rest of us. They’re presently seeking to quash truth, to erase history, to stomp on dissent, to neuter critical thinking, to commodify love, to demonise empathy, to numb us to violence, & to cage freedom of the mind.“ Fuck no, we won’t let them. #Auspol

According to Tacoma, WA area Redditors, this was the work of ILWU Local 91 in Oakland, CA

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

DHS has suspended Greg Bovino’s access to his social media accounts. Now, if he wishes to tell lies with impunity or denigrate Americans based on ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation without significant contradiction, he will be limited to American mainstream media.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

For weeks I haven't felt like I had anything to say or anything to add, and I still don't, but the time since the Renee Good murder with everything only degrading further has been soul destroying. No longer waiting for institutional collapse and authoritarianism. It's here. It's already happened.

The banter on Bluesky today

"hello!" "what's new with you?" "nothing i'd tell you about." "i hear the united states has armed paramilitary in the streets attacking their own people, and even kidnapped the president of venezuela." "the united states seems to be getting more dangerous by the day." "take care." "bye."

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

What have I become My Swedish Chef

Neither shocking nor inaccurate. And given who leads and serves in this administration, it’s a pretty apt metaphor.

I stole this from @emilyhughes.bsky.social and her husband, but one of the most fun things you can do for yourself is, whenever someone mentions a movie they'd like to watch, write it down on a slip of paper, fold it, and put it in a jar. Whenever you need something to watch, pick a slip!

“They’re starting to resist more. We’re gonna end up shooting some of them.” — leaked ICE footage

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

As an atheist it's very frustrating to have my non-belief in the antichrist tested in this way

Will never not be jarring to see armed goons demanding people’s papers on the street in the United States of America like it’s Nazi Germany. Fuckin nightmare scenes.

It's so real. I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me. I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild. People are DONE.

Where "arts leader" = on a few boards.

"Hahaha" said Gandalf, hitting his weed pen for the seventeeth time that hour. "Fuck".

DHS Warns Any Action By Americans Will Be Treated As Domestic Terrorism https://theonion.com/dhs-warns-any-action-by-americans-will-be-treated-as-domestic-terrorism/

Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.

We need to stop saying shit like "IP" and "content" when we mean art. Don't let them strip the walls in your own brain, man.

It's quite incredible how this poor and inaccurate tool has been prioritised and integrated *so* effectively that I regularly have people tell me something they've 'looked up' and I have to say 'you're not just reading the AI overview are you' and they are. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I hate these charts so much because they imply chatgpt is comparable to the internet or phones You could create the same graphic for full screen pop-up advertising on websites and make them look like ultra-rapid technology adoption when really they were just baked unavoidably into the internet

This is a brilliant line that should make a lot of folks…in both parties…very uncomfortable. Yes. Good.

tfw you forgot to register the domain name, and someone else snatched it.

Labor is simultaneously talking about letting CSG, a Zionist security org with close links to the IDF, carry heavy firearms at events in Australia, and also Australians can't protest anymore... What does that feel like?? Seriously?? Anyone that isn't batshit psycho ok with this?

Bolsonaro breaks out of prison then immediately gets caught when he marches into the nearest hospital and demands to see a menu

I don't know why it took me until now to put together that the reason there's a lot of people who put their faith into ChatGPT et al is because of anthropomorphism. This is just pareidolia, but for words. They're seeing a human where there isn't one.

...and to Tiny Tim, who will NEVER die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Tim. He wafts his cap as he pirouettes under the lamps and hangs his little crutch upon the wall. He says that he will never die.

Any of you humanitarian champions at the ABC noticed the most noticeable human atrocity in the world yet? Fucking sellout hacks 🖕Merry Christmas.

call us old fashioned but, if you've built a machine that makes child porn, we really don't care if can do anything else. unplug the machine.

Remember when The Base attempted to recruit Western Australian man Dean Smith, who ran for the federal seat of O’Connor as a candidate for Pauline Hanson’s One Nation in 2019? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Israel must be brittle and weak. If they're trying to make it so it's illegal to criticise and protest a genocidal apartheid state in distant colonies far away, that must mean Israel is extremely vulnerable to the truth. And the establishment is choosing fascism to deal with it.
