If you need more examples look up "Pinkertons union busting". Not enough? Try "Race Riots". You can add in places like Chicago, Hempstead County, Elaine Arkansas, Louisiana...you get the idea. There's nothing more American than state sponsored violence against marginalized communities.

Still need more? That's fine. I expected some people to be unconvinced. Look up Colored Orphans Asylum, House of Reformation and Instruction, Negro Boys Industrial School, Dozier school, & Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children. You're going to notice a multi generational pattern

Let's take it a step further. Look up Asian Exclusion Acts (yes the first act was Chinese exclusion, but it wasn't the only one) then look up Bath Riots. By this point in the reading you should be clear on what's happening. But let's say you aren't, look up Mississippi appendectomy

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Child1's GP said there's a perfect correlation between the decline in smoking and the rise in ADHD meds - many people were unknowingly self-medicating with nicotine. I don't think he was suggesting child1 start smoking, at least I hope not. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The coverage of his Davos diatribe is the most cynical editing we’ve seen of the entire second term yet

If Democrats aren’t whipping votes against ICE funding, and letting conservative members vote to pass it, it means the Democratic Party supports ICE funding. If your opposition to fascism is performative, then you don’t actually oppose fascism.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Jesus Christ, there are so many horrors these days that you need two full wheelbarrows of horrors to purchase a simple loaf of bread

Tell that to the people violently dragging people from their homes, gassing and pepper spraying protestors, and otherwise behaving violently. We learned the first time around that we don't get to choose if protests stay peaceful - cops do, and they love to riot.

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Check out the release date trailer for 1348 Ex Voto, an upcoming third-person medieval action game in which you embark on a quest through Medieval Italy as Aeta, an up-and-coming knight tasked with saving those close to her.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

i’m fascinated by this new strategy wjere multiple ai company CEOs have been going on tears tours this year so far complaining about how anti ai sentiment has hurt their businesses

Delicious to me

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Though, I will not stop pointing out that even if ICE was just doing what it was "supposed" to do, it'd STILL be bad, but that's because I'm weird

Once the police or state national guard directly disobey state and local elected officials, it's game over and there's no longer civilian control over police forces. It's what leftists have been saying for years, that police are unaccountable occupying forces in their own cities. They were right.

One reason I believe Walz and Frey have been useless is that if they gave the order to the police or national guard to protect residents against ICE, they would not follow it because they support ICE and this administration. At that point, they would lose the legitimacy of their elected position.

ICE are abducting 5 year olds, using them as bait to get to their family, and shipping them to a Texas concentration camp all in a single day. We need a Nuremberg for everyone involved. Abolish ICE isn't enough.

There's a guy in Dallas who has been posting videos on Instagram with his full address asking people to come hang out. It only took a few rounds of this for him to start posting videos with people who have come to visit him. Someone should tell all the "male loneliness epidemic" people about this!

PITCH: The cure for the male loneliness epidemic is asking people to come hang out at your house

They are trying to whip people into a frenzy, in the hopes that someone will do something violent, or we’ll riot, and give them an excuse. It’s not a coincidence that JD Vance is coming tomorrow. Again, every journalist on the ground knows this, but we’ll see if their editors will let them say it.

This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

I'm here in the Twin Cities documenting. Will is absolutely right here. They are doing the worst, most inhumane, most horrifying actions they can as CONTENT. It's to provoke and break people's resolve. Also, this child is the age of mine. I have not stopped crying since I saw this picture.

I know multiple PhDs on here do your thing motherfuckers

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

I have more of a comment than a question....

Research ties long #COVID in kids to chronic school absenteeism, learning problems Long COVID was also linked to a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

No way anyone could have predicted this...

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

The complaint “argues that GPT-4o is a ‘defective’ and ‘inherently dangerous’ product, and that OpenAI failed to warn users of foreseeable risks to their emotional and psychological health.”

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 proposing a bill that redirects $75 billion from the people who harass and kill minorities to the people who harass and kill minorities”
