These people get hyper obsessed w their targets, even if they are kids. bsky.app/profile/dart...

Like these dudes are broken ... ... and also volatile. They should leave the school kids alone. bsky.app/profile/dart...

Danny & his fellow patriot Chris Sims also create content of a sort that many of their fellow MAGA want to exterminate. You have to have a broken soul to pander for a fascist movement that wants to eliminate you by doing racist targeting of Somali businesses. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Here's an example of Danny trying to force his way into leftist space & having a racist crash out when he met w resistance. There are plenty of other examples of Danny being racist on his twitter. Shouldn't be lost on anyone that the two teenage girls arrested were black. bsky.app/profile/uzza...

This incident at an anti-ICE student walkout in Emunclaw WA was provoked by MAGA vigilante Danny Rebel, a grown-ass man who taunted teenagers before getting punched. Embarrassing that Emunclaw PD says it was unprovoked. Danny has a history of aggressively trying to agitate the left for content.

Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence. He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

Baltimore County Council bans immigration detention centers. 6-0 vote. wbaltv.com/article/balt...

I received a report today from a community member who spotted approximately 24 new unmarked SUVs. outside the ICE facility in Tukwila, WA, just south of Seattle. It’s hard to say for certain what this means, but it could indicate a greater deployment of personnel in the region in the near future.

Two days after the deadly sea collision, ~1,000 people demonstrated in central Athens, chanting slogans such as “Athens – Minnesota we fight together, against the system that murders us,” “open borders for refugees,” and “we live together, we work together with the migrants, fight the nazis.”

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.

The “Save America Act” reminds me of Christian Right godfather Paul Weyrich who infamously boasted that he didn’t want everyone to vote & co-founded the largest Christian Right umbrella political group in the US (the Council for National Policy aka “CNP”). Cleta Mitchell belonged as of 2020.

this is why we can't have an HIV vaccine btw

So....the Fourth Reich?

Colbert is set to issue a "fiery" response to CBS, @status.news has learned. Details here: www.status.news/p/stephen-co...

The Bainbridge Island City Council is getting a briefing tonight from the state's Commerce Dept on what happens if the city isn't found to be in compliance with the Growth Management Act under the Housing Accountability Act. It's known as the Builder's Remedy.

ICE has purchased 11 warehouses for a sum of $697.4 million in funds from the billions they received in Trump’s funding bill. (That’s a net gain of 34k beds.) WEXMAC TITUS has a $45 BILLION ceiling to outfit these warehouses and *many* more.

“WEXMAC TITUS allows ICE to treat immigration enforcement like a national security operation rather than a standard civil immigration one,” Michael Wriston, a 20-year veteran military analyst who is now a researcher and reporter with @projectsaltbox.bsky.social told me.

The Worldwide Expeditionary Multiple Award Contract (WEXMAC) program was created so the Navy could quickly respond in the wake of international natural disasters, pandemics, etc. There were 26 designated regions—until last year when they added #27: TITUS (Territorial Integrity of the United States)

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

Dallas ICE ERO says it makes the second highest number of arrests in the country: The Dallas ICE field office says it averages around 100 arrests a day in North Texas and Oklahoma www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/d...

The Dallas ICE field office is the #2 office in terms of arrests. We found the office has routinely violated federal limits on detention, even as that limit has expanded. Family members of detainees have alleged inhumane treatment. Activists want the city to act. www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/...

NEW: Wilson signaled her most moderate posture yet on the controversial surveillance expansion she once opposed at her state of the city address. She used to argue that cameras don't improve safety, now she's "moved" by families impacted by gun violence www.theburnerseattle.com/post/mayor-k...

In solidarity & supporting each other we can exceed the limits of an individual, the limits that fascism exploits. Fascism preaches the illusion of each person being a hero of their own endeavors because it needs it needs you to be alone. "Humankind cannot bear very much reality." T. S. Elliot

The first assistant Chris Rufo hired in 2021 was a Pepe the frog loving fan of “groyper mom” Michelle Malkin. That guy worked for him for 3+ years before going to work for Russell Vought in the Trump administration last year. So Rufo can miss me with the “I’m shocked by Fuentes’s popularity.”

The Department of Homeland Security is flooding social media platforms with subpoenas demanding they unmask the people behind anti-ICE accounts. This crackdown on speech shows EXACTLY why online age verification laws are so dangerous. Here's why: 🧵

I find this whole "AI agent wrote a hit piece" thing really troubling for reasons that have nothing to do with bots getting "mad" and "deciding" to take down open source contributors. theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-... Why do we keep wanting to give AI so much agency that it lets humans off the hook??

The LAPD is citing truancy laws in an attempt to squash the ongoing school walkouts against ICE. The LAPD is also threatening to arrest any parents or adults who support the kids in their acts of civil disobedience.

BREAKING: An immigration judge has *terminated* the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to deport Columbia pro-Palestine student protestor Mohsen Mahdawi. Mohsen was first detained 10 months ago, when agents ambushed him at a citizenship interview.

Own your data. Maintain your own data & systems. Do not participate in the digital surveillance system.

This threat is in part why I have been so vehemently prophysical media of all types from books to DVDs to physical journals and other physical manifestations of information because this has been openly talked about now for years and it is being enacted in an effort to control and worldbuild at scale

And the fact that we are seeing now a rapid transition away from the ability to do home computing, and the attempts to lock people into well manicured AI enhanced digital enclosures is a deeply troubling acceleration that we have to now understand, name and Work to defeat.

Digitization is a unique threat in the cycle of industrialization and modernization that capitalism has rot over the last 400 years or more in that it has the ability to create a totalizing state that never sleeps and never rests in its relentless quest to extract capital in all forms.

The future looks a lot more like personal mesh networks of people who have the ability to both share files and data as well as attach to broader nodes within a global mesh network not a cloud computing network authoritarian state. But we have to build it.

And one of those new forms of sovereignty is the ability to not exist in a fully digitized cloud, computing only world and still have access to the information and knowledge base of the Internet, but more importantly, the entertainment we have have come to rely on it for.

Digital autonomy in the ability to do self computing and retain your own data off-line and outside of the cloud is increasingly seen as a threat because it is data that cannot be easily monitored, and part of adjusting to hyper modernity is an adjustment to new forms of sovereignty.

There is no need to participate in a digital surveillance state, and that is in part why we are seeing the destruction of the ability to do home computing at a large scale, and the growing fear for tech elites is that people understand that they can unplug from the cloud and still exist.

Over the past eight months I’ve been in the process of moving myself off-line for almost all media purposes, as well as data storage. building the home computing needed to maintain a life outside of cloud compute and a fully digital authoritarian state is a profound act of resistance and autonomy.

i love getting my restaurant recommendations from andy ngo. their food looks amazing tastebudpdx.com andy my dude, u got no pull, couldn’t even get one person to post a negative review on google

it's weird¹ how they go out of their way to highlight that we refuse to debate our rights & existence, but don't mention anything about the completely manufactured nature of the panic over sports & youth healthcare ___________ ¹ read: in no way surprising

Here's how @jerusalem.bsky.social is promoting this anti-trans piece on Twitter

You and I both know @jerusalem.bsky.social, that the clear purpose of the piece is to try to get Dems to run even further away from protecting trans people's civil rights. Your publication is just another cog in the anti-trans machine. You're a liar for saying you wouldn't be running stud like this.

The article completely omits any reflection on the cause of public sentiment shift (psssst... it was the hundreds of millions of dollars spent demonizing trans people, Democrats' general unwillingness to push back on the narrative, and the media's shift to the right.)

Yeah, so about your claim that The Argument wouldn't be running anti-trans pieces @jerusalem.bsky.social... I knew it.

I’m sure the growing Nick Fuentesization of the Republican Party’s war on women will be dismissed as “alarmist” by the same people who said Roe wouldn’t be overturned or that “concentration camps” weren’t going to happen.

hey everyone, for convenience's sake the constitution is now optional

Hope you'll read my report the upcoming trial — I'll be watching closely. www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

This trial will determine what happened that night in Texas—which is far from clear — but it will also test how far the Trump administration can push terrorism law to target its political opponents and how it may use the courts to punish dissent. As @rlevinsonwaldman.bsky.social told me:

The administration has pointed to Prairieland as proof for its broader campaign of labeling protesters and ICE observers “terrorists,” too, including in the cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Then Trump signed an executive order designating antifa a domestic terrorist organization; released NSPM-7 directing agencies and local partners to prioritize antifa investigations; and DOJ announced a superseding indictment in the Prairieland case adding “material support” for terrorism charges.

In Trump’s second term, that campaign has quickened. This fall, after the killing of Charlie Kirk, Stephen Miller vowed to dismantle the “vast domestic terror movement” he blamed for Kirk's killing.
