also, do remember that tommy boy was fully on their side for years because they were kicking the shit out of trans people, which he loves doing too

I cannot express how incredibly vapid it is for @chatterton.bsky.social to be essentially resorting to civility discourse when the thing we are talking about is an armed agent of the state shooting a woman to death in broad daylight, confident that his thug regime will protect him from justice.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Nobody is saying, care about Palestine instead of care about how we live here. Caring about Palestine is actually deeply connected to caring about how we live here. And even if it weren't why should we be ok with being bound up in harming people there?

For months, many Canadians hoped Donald Trump had lost interest in making their country the 51st US state — his plate full with turning Washington and the global trading system upside down. Those hopes are fading. Read more: bloom.bg/49wywL8 📷️: Getty Images

I mentioned this in another post about the dreyfus affair. Basically french govt wrongly persecuted a jewish officer for selling secrets (he didn't). But like a defining part of it was everyone in the elite picks a side and starts saying shit and that feels clearly like where we are

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

I suppose it was all fun and games in the 2020s, and was a useful environment to pitch and sell an anti-identity politics book, but there's really no other way to read what's currently happening as anything other than the logical next steps of the culture wars

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it’s time to understand you aren’t. no one is. whiteness isn’t the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

Globally, the process of urbanisation is far from finished. This means more steel, more infrastructure, more humans are compiled into dense settlements all over the world. Fortunes are going to be made by people enabling this human migration.

There always comes a moment when The Sensibles pivot from complaining about protests and tone policing every sign to despairing that people aren't in the streets

Then one Palestinian flag later: sadly, the left has ruined our protest again

I am looking into this, I've reached out to Steam directly, and I'm actively pitching stories on this subject of the platform's shaky moderation. If any other devs have experienced something similar with reviews and moderation, do reach out.

When the discussion definitely was a good one

Indonesia blocked access to Grok after an investigation into the artificial intelligence system’s generation of sexual content.

there is something about watching them clearly envisioning themselves to be an elite fighting force, yet barely able to keep up with townspeople in snow pants who are outnumbered the dangers to citizens are obviously real but aren't more ppl going to watch these videos and think "I could take them"

Preventing the sharing of sexualised images of children is “censorship” according to Elon Musk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

white person SHOCKS korean man by SPEAKING HIS LANGUAGE in PUBLIC except he USED THE WRONG LANGUAGE because of INTERNALIZED RACISM and thought he was CHINESE

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

I don't credit the modern American executive with the ability to think beyond the end of the current fiscal quarter, but if they could, I would think they'd be looking out right now and wondering what the cost/benefits of collaboration with Trump is going to look like in two, three, five years

Right wing ideology exists to justify the rape of children

You clearly don't understand Jesse. King K. Rool has our banana hoard. That means he controls distribution all over donkey kong island. That means we're out of business. You need to get in the barrel Jesse

Frey doesn't support the people of minneapolis, he supports his bullshit equilibrium. he can say fuck ice all he wants but he's not on the front lines. fuck ice. fuck frey. fuck everyone that has enabled these freaks to terrorize people who have every right and reason to be here. fuck fascism.

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ. This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

You know when you’re watching fireworks and you get one of those where the concussive blow is even more impressive than the visual and sound? I don’t know if it unseats this one, but it’s right up there:

very clear just from casual observation that Donald trump is basically a bit mad now

probably my favourite aspect of Edgerton's revisionist thesis regarding British declinism is how Britain in World War Two was in fact a tremendously powerful participant and never once "stood alone" at any point, and viewing it otherwise is a nationalist myth just as rightwing as it is leftwing

lol you already did- just not the way you think

Personal finance expert you say?

sometime during the trudeau years canadians too stupid to make it in the CPC (which is i need to stress a very, very difficult threshold to reach) decided to convince america that canada is PC Gone Mad the place

for liberals the line in the sand is not whether deportations or detentions rise. its not funding. its not the actions of the administration or their outcome. its the rhetoric. its the tweets. its how unsavory it all feels, how out in the open. its aesthetics over any real material analysis

Long past time to start saying “these freaks want to live in Hell”

Americans imagining how they'd react to tyranny vs. Americans when tyranny happens:

I should be clear, there's a portion of the population who will believe whatever the administration says because they *desperately want to believe it*. You don't have to think about those people when analyzing situations like this, they don't matter for your analysis and will only make you feel bad.

true but also consider that akin walked so vance could run. they exist together.

Achtung-tied. @theonion.com

dude has curt schilling levels of Nazi paraphernalia in his house apparently

America is yearning for "it."

The same people who aggressively forced Tumblr to become a chaste website because “erm. Technically this is an app, not a website and we don’t do porno apps” are perfectly fine with AI child sexual abuse content. Playing defense for it, even

This is a pretty cool graphic from Ember, showing the percentage of new car sales that are electric in different countries. Reducing the overall number of cars (& their size) is essential, but if they do exist they should be electric. We're well on the way! 🎉 ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing
