As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

this is why you still pursue justice after all this time. That shame didn't fuckin go anywhere.

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?

The inevitable point where AI is eating up the barf from other AI

They shot another observer They're just killing people

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

Breaking: ICE is now reportedly following white people on grocery runs in Minnesota, suspecting they're delivering food to neighbors too afraid to leave their homes. Neighborhood instructions: Don't put the address in your phone. Don't use GPS. Write it on paper. And if you get stopped, eat it.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

And it's important to mention when its NOT generating those things, even when its being used to "play around" its being powered by data centres spewing pollution often into low income neighbourhoods. There is no "playing around" with AI, its harmful. Full stop. www.bbc.com/news/article...

They're grabbing preschoolers man this is a kind of evil language cannot convey Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

Its happening!

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Washington folks! I'm a little late to this but sex workers in your state NEED your help! Call your reps and tell them to oppose HB 2526, which wants to turn prostitution into a FULL ON felony for both parties. Stand with sex workers: tell your reps how much this shit upsets you and is wrong.

I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components: 1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

Cool that this racist babbling old child rapist can have my fellow Minnesotans murdered with impunity. Great job, USA.

stop being silly in front of me #art

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

This. Fuck, this so often

Imagine calling 100+ children dead a ceasefire while still refusing to call it a genocide

I have homework for men

DO *NOT* USE STICKERMULE

"I used AI to-" Then you aren't an artist. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a writer. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a coder. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a game dev. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a poet. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a filmmaker. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a teacher.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

This is why there is no free speech without anonymous speech. This is why online ID checks / age verification is incompatible with the 1st amendment and human rights. This is why "make everyone use their real names" is not a real solution to online hate & harm www.politico.com/newsletters/...

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

hexachloroethane, saving you a click. extremely toxic, so much so the military stopped using it because the damage is too extreme. this isn't a crowd control agent, this is a literal chemical weapon.

Nothing captures the messaging gap between this country's parties like the way Republicans whip their supporters into frenzy over things that aren't real and how dems will look at kids being flashbanged by an occupying force of secret police and say "pls don't do anything dad is gonna be mad :["

Remember, Scott Adams won't see your posts focusing on his late-career bigotry, but J.K. Rowling might.

hello #PortfolioDay im an illustrator based in the uk. i love to draw things inspired by fantasy themes, fairy tales and ornamental design. please take a look 🌿 ✉️: [email protected] 🌲 : linktr.ee/faungrove

Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.

In case you are unaware that digital images are also being manipulated to depict women and children as victims of physical violence. It's not just about bikinis.

Listen.

I think its fucking crazy that Grok is actively generating deepfakes and csam as we speak but if I want to commission a nsfw painting of two fictional characters and pay it through paypal I could get myself and the artist banned from the site. Like honestly, fuck all of this.

If recreating a dead man's voice using AI (that was unfiltered and called you slurs) was the first strike, Supporting a transphobic author and IP was the second strike, Defending the CSAM-generating AI better be your third strike. Stop playing Fortnite.

No, I will not “shut up” about “AI” being an ecology-wrecking fascist grift, and honestly I judge anyone who asks me to do so.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.

1. Too fucking late. 2. They still are full of AI slop.

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

I don't think you're ready for the takedown... #art #kpopdemonhunters #freepalestine #palestine #birds
