A Cal State faculty member was arrested for protesting ICE. The Faculty Association is still trying to figure out where he is:

This Day in Labor History: July 12, 1917. Mining capitalists and their bought and sold police in Bisbee, Arizona and politicians rounded up anyone they thought might be an IWW member (or if they looked Mexican) and deported them in one of the worst civil rights violations in American history!!!!!

Bezos is considering purchasing Conde Nast as a present to his now wife. Conde Nast owns not just Vogue but also Wired. Apparently, purchasing media to turn it into a propaganda organ is now the latest nuptial gift among the oligarchs. I'm going to become the joker. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

That there’s a police state.

freedom for republicans means the freedom to do whatever republicans want you to do. and if you decide otherwise, they’ll just nullify your choices www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/u...

Texas can't adequately warn people about deadly floods, but it can immediately let me know that a cop got hurt 250 miles away from me.

feels like a matter of, what, maybe days before this becomes an actual headline?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia says he was beaten, kicked and subject to psychological abuse after being wrongfully deported to an El Salvador megaprison

I wrote about the day the president attended the opening of an American concentration camp:

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

They're just televising the construction of concentration camps like it's a good thing. This is unimaginably dark.

I put together a short document for those wary of the AI mania in schools. Four of the main arguments for teachers using AI tools and introducing kids to AI as early as kindergarten are addressed--with thoughts and rebuttals and links to sources. Hope it's helpful. drive.google.com/file/d/1urCM...

New from 404 Media: 'FuckLAPD.com' is a website that lets anyone use facial recognition to instantly identify cops. Point camera, take photo, upload to site. It provides their name and salary information. Creator also rebooting their tool for identifying ICE employees www.404media.co/fucklapd-com...

if you don’t want your ads to run next to nazi social media posts, the government says “too bad,” you have to.

still think this is one of the greatest posts ever made

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

whoops lost the feed there

Men will try to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge to train their imaginary friend to be more racist rather than go to therapy.

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

We’re wasting the remaining carbon budget on war and AI.

I wrote about the inescapable skinny propaganda and pro-eating disorder content on mainstream social media platforms and how it's part of the reigning conservative culture that pushes health disinformation, control, and obedience. For @spitfirenews.com spitfirenews.com/p/skinnytok-...

Observe who is the initial aggressor. As protesters and police in Portland got physically involved, tensions increased.

This seems to be a very effective nonviolent delay tactic for ICE raids. Any time you can identify a bottleneck in their process — where they have to be in the same place at a consistent time of day — you can interdict their route

how can you be charged with (let alone convicted of) interfering with an officer if the officer isn't wearing a uniform or a badge? to put the same question another way: how can you resist being kidnapped in these United States without running the risk of being charged with resisting an officer?

George W made Colin Powell lie to the UN about centrifuges and weapons of mass destruction in order to invade Iraq. Trump just casually remarks that he “thinks they’re close” to a weapon and apparently that’s enough to go to war with Iran. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more stupid…

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

One month apart.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Today’s arrest of @bradlander.bsky.social is just one disturbing example of what ICE does every single day across the country. It’s not interested in law and order—this is about spreading fear. New York City will not stand for it.
