all of ice is driven by racism, but every individual action by ice squads seems motivated by one or both of these things... arrest quotas, social media propaganda footage any attempt at "reigning them in" instead of abolition that doesnt directly target those two motivators is only helping them

Holy shit this owns

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Just did this. "Rude" is essentially a shadowban and is capriciously applied. "Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose." Dudes, your CEO was shrieking "Waffles!" at people.

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

Asking a rattlesnake if it wants “uppies”

Possible outcomes here: The bubble bursts and prices crater. AI is everything that was promised, and we live in a utopia and/or post apocalyptic hellscape. The bubble bursts and takes the rest of the economy with it and none of us can afford to buy anything anyhow.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

Okay but look at the seal

RIP Jesse Jackson. He demanded the right to inspect the Krome detention facility in Miami after it became apparent Krome was a glorified concentration camp created by Ronald Reagan for Afro Latinos and Black Haitian refugees who fled to the USA after the Mariel Boatlift. Krome still operates today.

Next time I see someone say "degrowth is inherently reactionary", they need to defend funko pops filling up landfills.

Found one of the folks involved with the CWA and unionizing of Sherri’s Ranch. The demand that they own the workers IP is insane. We saw this over the summer in LA landlords saying they own all content made in an apartment. This is that but escalated All power to the workers including SEX WORKERS

I hate that substack is becoming so popular right now and when you talk about them platforming Nazis people are like "well what are you gunna do" Not use the platform, thats what I'm going to do. Thats what you should do, stop using it. Stop lending your credibility to nazi sympathisers.

We've been repeatedly promised a full ban on conversion practices in the UK by successive governments and yet we've seen more momentum behind banning youth from social media, a thing that conversion therapists have been actively advocating for.

Its actually so infuriating and patronising and degrading to be told a conversion therapy ban is coming all the while Labour is actually actively implementing conversion onto trans youth across healthcare and education

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

“Lock in?” Babe, I have ADHD. I’m locked out and the keys are inside.

There's no reason why Spanish in the US shouldn't be given the same status as French in Canada

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

did you know trans people are never on time to things? google trans late

thank god

What's the next queer facial hair situation we're moving onto?

Discord might have cut ties but they're still planning to roll out age verification globally next month. Continue to cancel your nitro subscriptions, if you haven't done so already. Don't boosts servers as well. Hit them in the wallet.

If you're trying to persuade someone to try Mastodon (or Pixelfed, or Friendica, etc), you'll get a lot further explaining them as algorithm-free, ad-free, AI-free, nazi-free conversations, rather than trying to describe a "decentralised protocol" or why "open source" is good. Mastodon is […]

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

i feel like potty TRAINING implies much more than learning to use the toilet, like where are the kegels... the position guidelines... the proper use of a bidet...

My (conservative) Mom went through with her RealID - had to separately update birth certificate. It took her multiple days and afterwards she complained to me "all I did was ask them to update the certificate and then they said, 'sure', and updated it. So what was this solving?" #politics
