We are, w/ increasing speed, moving towards a time of violent protest and revolution as people of various privilege grow tired of working for an equitable society and marginalized communities grow tired of waiting for progress that feels like it will never come. #ThisIsAmerica

This is how MY country treats children who look like me, in Chicago during what was supposed to be an Immigration Raid. If this image doesn’t sadden and/or enrage you, you should probably unfollow me now. #ThisIsChicago #ThisIsAmerica #TrumpsAmerica

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

Judges Keep Restrictions on L.A. Immigration Arrests, in Setback for Trump Agenda

Tonight, in a win for SoCal residents, the Ninth Circuit upheld the temporary restraining order that blocks the administration from conducting racist stops across Los Angeles and surrounding counties.

We will never stop fighting for all our immigrant communities.

Politics 301 - There is no such thing as the perfect candidate. After they get elected, keep pushing them to be better. Between the elections is where the most important work is done.

Let’s expose this hostile takeover of Black power and democracy. Randall is running again to stop them πŸ‘‡
