If you only read one thing today, let it be this. ICE is not in retreat. What we saw in Minnesota is going to spread everywhere. Get ready, friends. Take a training. Connect with your neighbors. Find out which groups are already doing prep work and volunteer. Lock arms and love on your community.

Notice how those who wanted to overthrow the government for being asked to carry proof of their covid vaccination, claiming it’s an infringement on their freedoms, are suddenly all in favor of needing multiple proofs of identity just so they can exercise their constitutional right to vote.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

Judge blocks Pentagon from downgrading Sen. Mark Kelly's military rank, pay A judge banned the Trump administration from taking adverse action against Kelly after he and other Democratic lawmakers urged military members to "refuse illegal orders."

It's our constitutional right to criticize the government without facing retaliation.

I'm still waiting for some billionaire to figure out they could become a beloved folk hero just by taking a day or 3 and funding every single GoFundMe for rent relief and legal aid in Minnesota for a couple months.

$30 Million would go A LONG way, and they'd barely notice.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : 
the new canadian citizenship
policy, which was enacted in
December 2025, restores
citizenship by descent, for
ancestors as far as you can
prove.
2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads :
that means that if one of your
grandparents, great-grand-
parents or even farther was
demonstrably born in Canada, you
don't even need to apply for
citizenship - you are retro-
actively granted it.
Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : 
the process involves linking your
CanadA-born ancestor to yourself
by digging up a paper trail of
birth or wedding certificates,
proof of immigration or adoption,
etc. thanks to Canadian archive-
keeping traditions, this is possible
by reaching out to towns, 
parishes, national archives*...
Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads :
between 1840 and 1930, 925 000
French-Canadians fled persecution
and economic oppression by
moving to the usa. today, their
descendants represent around ten
million people, or 3% of the U.s.
population. if it's time for you to
come back, we haven't forgotten
about you.

Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.

By discord_zorkian:

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults.

Hey folks –

I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news.

I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.)

Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence.

Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details.

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is currently running damage control.

They've been doing frog-in-a-boiling-pot business model for years now, with the service getting less reliable, updates making the interface worse consistently year on year, more aggressive ad pushes, loss of server features, etc

Fuck em. I'm out.

Every artist and studio should make plans to step away from using all adobe products in their pipelines. They've already demonstrated that they can, and will, discontinue their products at any time (even though they temporarily backtracked here.)

They are unreliable and should not be trusted.
