I went to an "ojos" training tonight hosted by New Orleans DSA and Union Migrante and thought I'd pass on new things I learned: 1. Low/old info ICE sighting posts are wreaking havoc on immigrant communities. Basically, incomplete or old info is actively harmful (even if ppl have good intentions)

The first public tranche of Epstein emails - over 13,000 emails - was just released live on @offthehookradio.bsky.social with the folks from @2600.com: ddosecrets.com/article/epst...

Their denial of the body as merely a vessel for code is shown daily by the way these men treat actual living human beings, including the ones who work for their companies. These men are chasing their own personal immortailty over piles of corpses. They're the closest thing we have to vampires tbh.

They’ve built one of the most horrifyingly precise targeted ads platforms in the world. You think they can’t figure out how to flag for a child safety team to check out when some middle-aged man messages dozens of kids? They can and often do, but that’s bad for “business” apparently.

It's been a minute since we had to revisit why not yo trust RevComs - here's a good refresher! onoffense.substack.com/p/warning-fo...

Not to pick nits, but technically, this is a FACE Act violation. Use the tools immediately at hand y'all.

There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way. One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

Not for nothing, this is one reason why we say "pregnant patient" instead of "woman." It's not just for non-binary inclusion.

I would like to point out that the people prosecuted under the FACE Act that Trump hasn't pardoned yet are arsonists and murderers. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

WTF? @washingtonpost.com just published a profile about Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network with JD Vance—that omitted Buskirk’s ties to American Reformer, self-professed Christian Nationalist William Wolfe, & Wolfe’s Center for Baptist Leadership. 1/

"I could smell the onions and mustard"

Dick Cheney died

Is he talking about... The English? Vikings? Because those are the last time that happened.

Same coercive model they’re using with abortion.

What is with suddenly soft-pedaling this shit with Fuentes and calling him a Holocaust denier? Can't any outlets muster up the gumption and at least say Hitler enthusiast?

A fantastic thread on the different factions of Christian Nationalism at play.

If someone is advocating for doing high risk activities, esp if it's someone you're new to, STAY AWAY from that person. Guide: Is S/He an Informant? A Ten Point Checklist

Everyone needs to read this thread. Everyone.

This is an incredibly important read. www.justsecurity.org/122643/antif...

I really need people to understand that a government this antagonistic to its own citizens that has manufactured crisis after crisis is not a government that intends to honor democratic removal. Because they know what would have to happen for the nation to heal. It’s gonna get bad.

i’ve actually done this, and in addition, asked them what our process is if someone gets abducted while traveling for work. then offered to help answer that second question, so we can publish internal policy on it.

Bravery is not the opposite of fear. It is pushing through and doing something despite the fear. We have all done this, perhaps often, but never recognized it as bravery. Know that you are brave, know that you can overcome your fear. Know that you have done it before, and you will do it again.

Trump waves around renderings of his new gold ballroom

So, let me get one thing straight. The Democratic party, according to the pundit and consultant class, is a big enough tent for Genocidal Zionists & Merc Bros with SS tattoos, but it isn't big enough for Zohran Mamdami? This is what we're being told to accept?

Profile view video inherently lacks perspective and has sped up and normalized the spread of narcissistic behavior.

And this goes double for sleeping with them

"Anti-fascism is growing, because our fucked up situation forces us to stand together." 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚎. Video: The Aesthetics of Anti-Fascism by Ben Hoerman

Can someone please tell the antifascist frogs that we desperately need a rendition of Rainbow Connection?

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

then they came for the ADL and I did not speak, because the ADL was on their side like 5 fucking minutes ago.

i made a helpful reference

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

Telegram is still on the App Store after being linked to multiple mass shootings.

“Stephen Miller confessed that when he uses such dehumanizing language he is, “using this language to mark people. To put a target on them. … It is a message [he] is sending to all the crazies and lunatics out there” to go target the people he dehumanizes.”

Want to co-sign this as someone who works in philanthropy. Conservative donors and foundations have been willing to invest huge sums for general support, correctly assuming that it would produce long-term gains. The liberal approach to philanthropy has been pretty much the exact opposite.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Words to live by.

Ppl getting fired for “celebrating Kirk’s death” and these people are literally shooting fireworks

On one end of the spectrum, ABC tanks your show at the behest of the government; on the other, journalists are thrown in ICE detention, unjustly indicted for “rioting”, batoned in the face with press pass in hand for taking photos (an action Noem and DHS say is “violence”)—and that’s just “media”

We've uploaded about 2600 images that had disappeared from @unicornriot.bsky.social's DiscordLeaks for researchers to access. Check out our DiscordLeaks Image Archive: latenightafa.noblogs.org/discordleaks...

There are more severe consequences for making unsavory social media posts than there are for being a pedophile

This is a THREAD of people NOT FIRED. bsky.app/profile/atru...

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false. ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

Soooo... This is a big deal.

I would also add the vehicle attack in New Orleans on New Years, not to mention a truly absurd number of bomb threats and targeted harassment campaigns. And if you start counting attacks on immigrants and protesters...

We’ve had wide-spread Internet gore for a while now, and mysteriously, online-poisoned mass shootings and global fascist violence just keep accelerating (even as general crime rates continue to decline). I think there’s a serious flaw with “people need to see gore to stop being fascists” theory.

National political reporters: consult your gaming desk. You likely have a massively blind spot — this isn’t a dig at anyone, because I have this blind spot too b/c I’m not a gamer and am trying to adjust for it in real time — covering this very important moment if u don’t game & don’t know the memes

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.
