“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Hey @queermedieval.bsky.social your illustration prints *beautifully*!!

Anti-fascist frogs hot off the press

"The fascists are getting more and more violent, so we must curtail our Constitutional rights and our efforts to oppose them", the Democratic Party story

How does this idiot think that "thinking about loans" doesn't include "thinking about bank fraud"??

So transparently dumb, and yet...

Abolish the Border, Abolish the Police Reading List In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and police repression, we offer an extensive reading list about border and police abolition.   Drawing from over twenty years of activism on local and national levels,

From Haymarket Books, an Abolish the Border, Abolish the Police Reading List. “In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and police repression, we offer an extensive reading list…” [haymarketbooks.org]

I'm a human being with a soul, I shouldn't have to know or care about the "job market"

As a veteran mod from the forum era, the faster you can ban bad actors the better. They might sockpuppet their way back in but they out themselves quickly.

A COVERNMENT DOESN'T ANNOUNCE THAT THEY HAVE BECOME FASCIST, THEY ANNOUNCE ANTI-FASCISTS ARE ENEMIES OF THE STATE.

If only there were anything these poor defenseless private platform owners could do.

Beyond eating waffles, of course.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

6/ These incompetent bundles of psychological projection are running us over because we refuse to punch them in the mouth.

That's it.

They're bullies. Bullies need punching before they can get help healing.

Worry about step 2 second.

Protect people now.

5/ Power is nothing if not wielded.

People who see you as an enemy are not hesitating.

4/ If the right is going to force the take down of simple accountability systems, while they're masking all law enforcement (to hide from the little bit of the surveillance state that's leaked into private hands) and hiding badges, but we can't even kick Nazis off Bluesky, we're cooked.

3/ Collective accountability systems are the least visible but largest loss in society in my lifetime.

Something like a third or half the population regularly eats dinner alone.

That may seem unrelated, but it's a symptom of what I'm talking about and enables further hyper-individualization.

2/ I truly think one of the worst things that happened to humanity was the takeover of the California Ideology (hippies turned libertarian/fascist) that bowed down to the neoliberal ideology of extreme individualism.

There is no individual right that is not underpinned by collective responsibility.

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

1/ This is what I mean when I say people that insist "we can only fight speech with more speech" are dead wrong and unilaterally disarming.

People who want to see the worst for you do not share your adherence to honorable principles.

They’re moving quickly because they get less popular every day.

They’ll never be more popular than they are now and they are extremely unpopular.

im going to go out on a limb and say, this is psychotic

it's instructive to ask, what would have stopped them from doing this? what could anyone have done differently that would have led them to conclude this extraordinary thing was unnecessary? and the answer is nothing

I was definitely afraid they were going to mets it up.

lol, no lies detected in those replies.

new york yankees century of humiliation underway

Prejudice against alarm clocks. Anti-dishwasherism. The silent bigotry of low expectations for Windows products.

I talk a lot about the rightwing rejection of science regarding things like vaccines & climate change as part of its broader renouncing of factual truth. Epistemic collapse! But I've been persuaded by Quinn Slobodian's point that the right is actually advancing its own science: race science.

Evolutionary psychology!!! “Neanderthals, whose lives we know literally nothing about except that they were wildly different from ours, had a sexed division of labor in my evidence-free fantasy about them, which is why you shouldn’t get subsidized childcare.”

lol, "the outcome of these social systems implies biological causes" 🙄

The worst is to fully participate, donate, support the candidates, etc, and especially defending their bullshit to people it harms, and then stop there, thinking you've helped.

Electoralism will never bring liberation or systemic change, but taking the literal 2 minutes to vote for the one that will cause less harm is better than not, imo.

But also understand folks whose vote is to not vote. I disagree, but I understand.

I think being involved in local organizations is the bare minimum, but I think some minimal participation in electoral politics can be useful if it's aimed at harm reduction.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

AI agents are a pipe dream at solving any problems that aren't related to the production system. They will surely be used to increase efficiency of production, but they will never care.
