Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Long, long ago. There was a time when the Cherokee were without the tobacco, not the plant of today, that has

“ICE might not break into my house and try to take one of my family members, because we’re all white,” Fee told me. “But I’m not going to not care just because it’s not going to happen to me. That’s irresponsible, that’s disrespectful, and it’s sinful, honestly.” - NY Times

“For weeks, Democrats have pushed to require ICE agents to obtain the necessary judicial warrants ahead of any murders they plan to commit,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a joint statement on the current Homeland Security funding bill

For people asking “why isn’t there a general strike?” earnestly, and not just to be a judgmental prick

Ah yes, the Healey admin’s plan to address the ICE issue with strongly worded letters and press conferences.

My brain reads Davos as Davros and it's confusing

Those aren't hallucinations. It's 100% obvious this mushroom lets you see the fairies.

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

When they claim what they're doing is somehow fair, remember that not only is it theft (which is bad enough) - it supports further theft by funding pirates. We desperately need a hard reset in the AI industry. It must turn away from theft, and start paying the people whose work it relies on. /end

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

nbcboston.app.link/bHAa1j4C7Zb A fucking MEMO does not supersede the Fourth Amendment. This is bullshit.

Just shared this one Facebook, because I had to get the words out. Sharing here in case its in any way useful to you.

@warren.senate.gov Please share this. Specific flight info in comment on the post. We are past the point where "defunding" or "reining in" is a reasonable response. ICE needs to be abolished and its leaders tried in court bsky.app/profile/mari...

Absolute garbage. Call your reps and tell them NO BODY CAMS, NO TRAINING - ICE CANNOT BE "REFORMED." ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, THEN DEFUND AND ABOLISH ARE THE ONLY OPTIONS. Find your reps here: reps.fyi They are giving ICE *MORE* money with these garbage "reforms." More money to HURT US.

Important perspective from Greenland.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

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.

A new NYT video analysis by confirms that Renee Good's vehicle did not run over Jonathan Ross and did not strike him. It's possible that it brushed up against him, but that remains unclear. Ross should be under arrest. This is a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

We’re articulating our approach to generative AI so musicians can keep making music and fans can trust the music they find on Bandcamp.

These are all fine things to say, but you can't help but notice that he never says "here's what I'm doing to help" or "here's what your state government will do." Not a single promise to which he or the state could be held accountable. Just another ask for protestors to stay peaceful.

"Every ICE agent must hand out business cards to the people they shoot in the face." 1. They won't do it. 2. You're wasting valuable time. 3. Just send them home. 4. Come ON. 5. Abolish ICE.

Bandcamp bans AI music

Bandcamp is announcing that they're prohibiting music created wholly or with subtantial use of AI
