How an errand for a 12-year-old immigrant in Minneapolis became an underground operation Some immigrants in Minneapolis have said they're scared to go out because of ICE agents across the city. When one 12-year-old needed to run an errand, it triggered a network of underground volunteers.

Republicans Try to Cram Ban on AI Regulation Into Budget Reconciliation Bill Republicans try to use the Budget Reconciliation bill to stop states from regulating AI entirely for 10 years.

Good lord just what the hell is up today. A potential ban on any regulation for AI for the next 10 years? This includes good bills like AB 412 of legislation protecting folks from Deepfakes! Wtf?! Call your congressmen and women asap to tell them to take this down!

Still frustrated by how this narrative erases the incredible disability justice organizing that takes place online.

Like Crips for eSims for Gaza, which has raised *over 2 million CAD* to give Palestinians life-saving internet access throughout the genocide:

For the sake of clarity; sexism, racism, fascism, nationalism, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism, apartheid, pro-birth, military power, and all adjacent right-wing ideologies are a form of weakness I do not tolerate. If you're a conservative, then block me and move on. You don't belong here.

Community self defense, tenant organizing, mutual aid, mask blocs, cop watching, start/join a jail support project, organize/participate in political education, + more is needed. Look out for one another. Just don't get wrapped up in the liberal outrage & despair machine.

My sister and some friends have told me stories already of these pamphlets as people talk about them at work. My sister is taking a class and the professor made students aware of their rights. Community is what Trump seeks to destroy. No matter the path going forward, community is what will save us.
