Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

no longer a conspiracy theorist, simply a ‘theorist’ in today’s timeline

One of the many sins of genAI is that the societal necessity of staying vigilant for it frequently turns into a policing strategy, often with punitive consequences for the handful of people who still write and make art with human integrity. I hope this student wins their suit.

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier." I'm honestly speechless.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

⭕️ NEW: An Al Jazeera investigation finds that Israel has used U.S.-supplied thermal & thermobaric weapons in Gaza that burn at up to 3,500°C, leaving no remains of victims. Gaza’s Civil Defence documented 2,842 Palestinians who effectively “evaporated” since Oct 2023, identified through forensic...

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” Conditions in a San Diego concentration camp, via message hurled out in a bottle.

the internet is straight up not interesting anymore as either a fictional subject or a modality by which fiction is produced sorry

The fact that they get to participate in the first place says everything it needs to about the double standards the Olympics and world competitions have for Israel and the United States versus everyone else.

no it isn't. im dirt poor and i don't use ai. stop pushing your rationalisation for being shit at art or whatever on to the rest of society. don't use ai.

hell yeah brother why not bring back indentured servitude

i made a version of wikipedia you can doomscroll xikipedia.org

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

The glow up for these devices is campaigns like this, which is an attempt to obscure the fact of them building a surveillance network for an authoritarian state.

nobody does it like Chotiner

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

Now we’re talking

Oh no oh no oh no

today is the 2 year anniversary of Hind Rajab being shot 335 times by Israeli forces. she was 6. I cannot look at her pictures of her face without crying. I genuinely, in a soul deep way, cannot understand people who can look upon this and think "good."

A tricky first call map for this weekend's storm. Confidence is low and there is bust potential, especially if dry slotting develops between the developing lows. Highest amounts will be in SE VA/E NC. Gale-force winds could produce white-out/blizzard conditions near the coast. #rva #vawx

A few weeks back ICE agents ate at a Mexican restaurant and then *detained the restaurant's workers* and they're complaining about how they can't eat out anymore?

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion." Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social

Hi @abigailspanberger.com I start a new job next week. Unemployment has been a nightmare. I just attempted to call to resolve the latest issue and was informed by the system that I’m no longer eligible to speak with a human because I have spoken to a human too many times. Can you address this?

As @hebagowayed.bsky.social and I wrote in our Guardian article on abolishing ICE, this is Homan threatening to gun down Americans for using their free speech rights to accurately describe ICE as fascist secret police. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“[Liam] keeps asking about that hat and that backpack that are in the picture,” the congressman said. “I think they took that from him.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/28/u...

Tina has never hosted a single town hall in her entire time in the United States Congress.

i just want to cry. i have literally just spent the last 6 hours responding to email after email of people begging for rent money or for me to point them in the direction of help, which does not exist. please @governorwalz.mn.gov. we need an eviction moratorium. there is no other solution.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

The incredible Walk for Peace journey currently being undertaken by Buddhist monks across the United States, is taking the same path as the April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. There’s something telling me this is not a coincidence…

I wrote about how murders of people seen as “good” tend to galvanize the public against state violence in helpful ways. But to establish a just system in the long run, it's critical to recognize harm done to those who would never make the cut as saints.

Of course it’s the only two reps who represent my interests

Sometimes I think about this for no reason whatsoever www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It's so clear how those in power are working toward appling "Hamas laying down its arms" logic to Pretti

The Deporter-in-Chief finally chimes in. Fun fact: under Obama, ICE and Border Patrol’s budgets exploded, dozens died in detention, and over 3,000 people were killed at the border by the bipartisan policy of “prevention through deterrence.”

They call it "pulling a Vatican"

… time to check the quote skeets

Chicago likes to dunk on DMB for very legit reasons but if we're being serious: dude has always been like this and was like this before it was cool and deserves our support.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.

People should not have to be perfect victims to not be murdered by the state or by a racist game show host and his lawless den of jackals and elite pedophile cover up conspiracists, but still HOLY SHIT MAN
