not the biggest thing but just an FYI: the most likely place we wind up from here, in my view, is that if you the client feed documents to e.g. Claude you’ve blown attorney-client privilege on those documents

Every pronatalist argument I’ve encountered seems like it could be solved by a robust immigration system that allowed more people to move here. The reluctance to entertain that solution tells you what the real concern is.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

“Who could’ve seen this coming?” is highly unpleasant when the answer is “most people who know anything about this big topic and they’ve been saying so for years.”

Then they came for the tomboys and metrosexuals... Beyond dystopian. Leave kids alone, you psychologically abusive fucks.

Whatever federal agents gave that dumbass kid plans for a dud yet prosecutable "device", really appreciate you giving the Jake Lang and his gang of cluster B personality disordered, attention seeking, shit-posters the patina of victimhood that they want so badly.

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside." Read every word.

🧵 Today’s news: Proton turned over payment info for a Stop Cop City account. Not good — it's state repression in action. Controversial opinion: We don't think this means all activists should abandon Proton for docs/email. It depends on your threat model. Let's explore. (Long thread incoming 👇)

Sometimes I read news that is a direct reiteration of a conversation I had a decade ago that people just shrugged at, and I scream, but only on the inside, because nobody was ever listening anyways, so why bother now? www.newsfromthestates.com/article/fede...

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

Bluesky has suspended @themanfromchaos.bsky.social for reporting on a far-right agitator in Coos Bay, Oregon. Identifying and warning about threats is in the public interest for the safety of our communities. Likely mass reported, please unsuspend. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

The right is, in many ways, a project of claiming children as property

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Reliably sharing good information builds trust. It takes discipline and effort to communicate effectively, especially under pressure in an emotionally charged moment. (So does spending time looking into false reports and examining what went wrong, though less of this being needed is better!)

Identifying and warning about the white supremacist & neo-Nazi threats is public interest reporting done for the safety of our communities. Please unsuspend @bywayofplymouth.bsky.social. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Hot take: Leftists should have the same opportunity to exploit the loopholes in the FACE Act that anti-abortion protesters have for decades. www.lifesitenews.com/news/breakin...

To say “I don’t do politics” is to say “I don’t do power.” Politics is another word for power. To say “I don’t do power” is to say “dominate me.” Meaning, to say “I don’t do politics” is to consent to being dominated. Precisely what these authoritarian regimes want.

This is the most ketamine addled statement.

🚨 Ohio 🚨 in May 2025, DHS requested and received 20,000 records (including photos) from of Ohio BMV There are roughly 19,000 migrants in Ohio with TPS. Springfield, Ohio is home to 12,000 - 15,000 of the TPS population in Ohio. @msnowreports.bsky.social confirmed the surge on the 30th.

Omg you goddamn lying bootlickers, we still have eyes.

Well, it's been an eventful week at Doomsayer HQ. People sure seem to get mad when you tell people not to talk to opportunistic liars. Anyways, the Hostile Press lookbook is back up, less interactive, but more portable. Sure would be a shame if someone made stickers. www.doomsayer.me/hostile-press/

Vet your chats. And even then, never put anything in text you wouldn't feel comfortable having read out loud in a courtroom, or taken out of context by some hack influencer.

Ahem.

I’d rather you oppose fascism your way, even if it’s not my way, than argue with you about how to oppose fascism instead of you know, actually opposing fascism. Hell, I don’t know if my ways are best! None of us does, because we haven’t defeated *this* fascism yet. So let’s all find out.

he knows that we know he's lying. he's telling us we're all terrorists to him. he's telling us that to dissent is now a capital crime. he's telling us they'll shoot us, too, and they'll say we deserved it.

Genuinely, what is going on with that comically large podium? He looks so wee.

This entire situation feels like a direct extension of a society of conflict avoidant adults who refuse to take their ailing parents' car keys away.

I wrote up a brief tutorial explaining how a good DSLR camera is critical in OSINT work www.permanentrecordx.com/p/bring-a-hi...

Kristina Nicole Horacek Olson Brown was documented by @/FolkishFacts as attending March 2022 dinner with her husband & one time leader of Astrau Folk Assembly, Clyde Eldridge Brown III. H/t @cassandrarprt.bsky.social for the find.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Resistance has many forms

Have they hired J6ers? Possibly Have they hired hate group members? Most likely. This is missing the forest for the trees. Those hires wouldn't be outliers, that if you just rooted them out ICE would be okay. Those hires would be among like-minded assholes who shouldn't be in law enforcement.

NEW: The neo-fascist group Patriot Front is building a network of business in North Texas in an attempt to create a parallel, self-sufficient white nationalist economy. @stevanzetti.bsky.social, @wileydcope.bsky.social and I identified the men behind 4 of these companies.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

The word “doxing”—and yes, since there’s anti-doxing laws, I guess you could say in a legal sense—means to reveal private information. Like publishing a home address or phone number. Vance and others are trying to redefine it to limit scrutiny into public records.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Genuinely everybody that tried to tell me, "he isn't REALLY a Nazi," owes me ten bucks.

Good thing we still control the schools... Oh, wait.
