So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

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.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

Everything about this induces a rage I cannot express in words

Huh, some hellhole. “Leaders also said Choose Chicago secured 65 citywide conventions, up from 49 last year, and a record $2.9 billion in hotel revenue compared to $2.8 billion in 2024.”

ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped. ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped. ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped. ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped. ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped.

I think the moderate path forward is arrest everyone in ICE and move forward from there to sift out the couple non-evil people who joined by accident and/or hypnosis.

This is a step towards exiling and disappearing absolutely anyone he and his goons don't like. Trump is working towards literally determining who is a Real American.

and even more broadly, it applies to anyone he doesn’t like, which can change on a dime in ways that could entangle anyone. ask mike pence.

I'm starting to think it's not ideal to have our country ran by people who care 10,000x more about their star rating than actually working for the people.

Free idea: suburban driver’s ed courses should include one day when they go downtown and walk around for an hour or two as pedestrians, then spend an hour or two on Divvys in mixed traffic

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."

It's cool we've turned houses into assets in investment portfolios that must constantly appreciate in value instead of places for people to live.

In a reality-based world this would force a stated change in news outlets' policies not to ever use the phrase "DHS says" until their claim can be proven independently, but journalists' pro-police bias ("why would they lie, they have badges") remains a reliably strong constant in regime coverage

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Just again and again the best spokesperson for the Democratic Party.

Good thing you don't ever hire anyone to design, build, ship, install, run, and maintain "the machines," otherwise their bullshit would be quickly debunked. Everyone knows "the machines" just appear, and you don't start hiring people until they're plugged in and running!

I'd be really embarrassed if I were a high profile person who was suddenly like, "hey guys, what if the hype is real?"

January 6 was the most concentrated collection of criminals in history, and pardoning them was like opening up Arkham and needing to track them down 1 by 1 as they continue to commit crimes.

The officer who led the pursuit that ended with the death of Dominga Flores Gomez has been suspended 3 times for a total of 6 days for engaging in pursuits that violated CPD policy. One of those pursuits occurred just 10 days before Flores Gomez was killed. @wttw.bsky.social

I'm sure there are some newish computer programs that make certain jobs easier now. That's fine but it's none of my business! Why does the general public need to be made aware of it every fucking day? Because "AI" is fake and a con and a scheme to enrich liars.

They're unironically doing the cartoon.

It's tragically hilarious with all the ways Trump is acting like a mad king, the thing that desperately needs Congressional oversight is environmental protections from over a decade ago.

The history of every Southern California city is like "a reproduction of the Sistine Chapel was built in 1920 as a free public college by the town's utopian founder. It was bulldozed in 1960 to widen a parking lot."

“It has been proposed that apartments be built on the parking lot, but local residents have protested as the lot is Important to the fabric of the community.”

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

political malpractice that this chart hasnt been seared into the brains of every single american through advertising and social media

We now have data from Trump's first full year in office. Let's review the performance of Trump and the two parties since 1989 and a new age of globalization began. However you cut the data Trump continues to have worst jobs record of last six Presidents. 1/

Men are too emotional to be politicians. They can't control their feelings.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

If I was a Republican and especially if I participated in the Trump administration in any capacity, I would be terrified of what's going to happen to me in just a few years.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

I constantly think about how much conservatives truly hate most of what actually makes up America - its vast variety of people, lifestyles, & cultures - but because they've been granted the moniker of "Real America" they're free to routinely smear, bash, & threaten anyone they don't like.

"What's the point of avoiding oversight when people are paying attention to what we're doing? We're trying to quietly disappear people over here!"

"We won't let our active ignorance get in the way of our performative anger" is a pretty good representation of the right.

It's it good that the technological achievement of this generation is to remove the joy and humanity of the arts in place of monetizing soulless slop?

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

We're getting closer.

if you're a little young, this is basically what AIM Away Messages were

"We must stop ICE from being a secret police force that brutalizes and abducts people. Except if they say they really want to."

It's great to know the only time Mike thinks the government shouldn't be directed by religion is when the religion directs us to be kind to each other.

Nice of the Trib to act like whiny victims in between giving Paul Vallas his 10,000th column and telling us we should celebrate JD Vance having another kid.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice
