ICE surveillance is directly connected to ICE violence. One of the most concrete things that progressive leaders can do in cities targeted by ICE is work to roll back surveillance ASAP: -Cancel contracts with Flock -Ban facial recognition -End private camera registries -Data privacy protections

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

OH MY GOD STOP TRYING TO ID PEOPLE WITH ***AI*** IT DOESN’T WORK IT HAS NEVER WORKED IT WILL NEVER WORK IT JUST MAKES UP FAKE FACES

"Avelo spokeswoman Courtney Goff confirmed Avelo will be withdrawing its participation in the DHS program with the planned closure of its base at Mesa Gateway Airport (code AZA) on Jan. 27." - Congratulations to the activists and organizers who made this happen. www.theledger.com/story/news/2...

Ill just post it up for now just incase, but we're still taking care of our mom and are very behind bills because of it. Very sorry to be asking this before the new year

IDK who needs to see this but "being aware of current atrocities happening in your city / state / country is your civil responsibility" and "people have a right to not view graphic photos or videos if they don't want to" are statements that can coexist.

Watching a video an hurting your brain is not action.

important message to all bluesky users

Got this reply that I've since hidden that's still got me pissed off so: Keeping up with current events is all well and good. You are under NO obligation to traumatize yourself as an Act of Resistance. Anyone who tells you otherwise is full of shit. Please be kind to others but also to yourself.

Hi hello it is okay to post about silly things today it is okay to post about movies or food or whatever The ICE Murder in Minneapolis is an absolute horror and you should be aware of it and doing that you can to speak up but doing nothing but panic and doompost or scroll today is Bad For You.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the news on your feed right now you can also try muting some terms for at least 24 hours Some recommendations: ICE agent Minneapolis Minnesota

There's video out now Please turn off autoplay if you haven't already

Not gonna repost the Minneapolis news cause chances are y'all have already seen a billion people reposting it and I don't wanna be one of those people that just floods timelines with awful shit But it's bad out there, folks. Please look out for each other.

Perhaps next year I will go to MAGFEST It just wasn't in the schedule This Year

If you have a discord for documentation or research, whether for software or whatever, please please put some effort into backing up info somewhere else. So many entire communities efforts will just implode if something happens to discord

yeah

LRT It Is January It Is Time To Destroy Christmas

142.

The utter void of enthusiasm by the narrator here is PALPABLE

My body is betraying me by making me feel sleepy after a max of 3 hours sleep last night How dare it do this to me, where's the Meat Manager I would like to swap out this meatsuit

I was barely conscious for Inland Empire so I don't think I can list it in a media thread in good faith But that might have been the most nightmare-core movie I've ever seen

Oh shit Voltes V remaster Well I guess I'm gonna wait for the Bluray to watch that!

Infafune is the Ronald Reagan of Capcom

Which one of you would live or die in the Sam Raimi movie about being marooned on an island with coworkers you hate

We’re just normal men

Ruminating on some of the recent high profile pile-ons here We gotta have private accounts here, like, YESTERDAY

At the time of day where caffeine makes my brain vibrate yet does nothing to the morning body fatigue My mind will break the boundaries of reality to see such wonderful sights while my body stays in a slumped prison

In the mood to find out oomfs' current food cravings so I can go out and take pictures of me getting them for myself

God has finally found a way to punish my sins: The Zaxby's nearest to me is closed until Spring

Bolting up in a cold sweat at LRT as ideas invade my mindspace AAA Super Mario Sunshine but F.L.U.D.D. is mass produced and abused as a tool of Pianta Police Brutality

*Walking near F.L.U.D.D. in corner of Mario's house* Mario: This thing always brings back memories of Isle Delfino. Beautiful beaches, sunny skies- Peach: I seem to also recall you getting thrown into jail? Mario: ...always the positive one, aren't you? [Achievement Unlocked: Good Morning, Sunshine]

Zero Umamusume???!!!

I do not agree with the statement that we aren't seeing mass mobilization in the US against Trump's actions in Venezuela. There is mass mobilization in every city where ICE and CBP are operating. Do not confuse mobilization with marching and protests. Not everything is designed for spectacle.

Thinking of the Sonic Advance games again and how Sonic Advance 3 has the objectively least fucked method of getting Chaos Emeralds

hunger

Somehow I always knew this would happen

I should invest in a big external hard drive for media storage

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

It was actually pretty dope

If Walter White was a moe anime girl they'd be calling her and Skyler Toxic Yuri

I further put forward that we be allowed to be a little bit rude about it. look what the obsession with civility has gotten us. if a person is being hateful or saying something untrue, you should be allowed to get a little bitchy if you need to!

Ann Nocenti rules.

WASHINGTON: what are “police?” You mean the constabulary? JEFFERSON: no, George, apparently YOU PEOPLE in the future create a force of permanent civilian soldiers whose job it is to oversee and oppress the people… HAMILTON: by God, Thomas, they are patterned after YOUR slave patrols! Cad!

Dude my edible just hit
