‘Fell the enemies:’ Illini Republicans support ICE amid killings - The Daily Illini In a post that included a graphic of a presumed officer holding a gun to someone's head, Illini Republicans stated that they “stand with ICE."

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

Art of Tortuguita amidst plants, a sunrise, and forest. Texts says TORT 1996-2023. "The abolitionist mission isn't done until every prison is empty. When there are no more cops, when the land has been given back, that's when it's over. I don't expect to live to see that day, necessarily. I mean, I hope so. But I smoke."

Three years ago today, Georgia state police murdered Tortuguita as part of their drive to destroy the Weelaunee Forest and build a deadly police militarization center.

Tort fought for a world without police and capitalism, and so should we. Viva, viva Tortuguita.

lmao it's giving "unite the right 2," the 2018 follow up to unite the right that turned out to just be jason kessler trying to ride the metro with 12 losers and a police escort

As mentioned in the two blog posts above in my thread, Grok is truly at a crossroads of which problematic path is its primary brand (which often converge!):

ICE the Mannerbund: Music, Authoritarianism, Hate Trump’s federal agencies love putting catchy songs alongside their content on social media. While they usually post pop songs, phonk edits, or whatever viral sound is hitting on TikTok six months prio...

Wrote a lil thing about that weird ICE post with a weirder song attached. Many thanks to all the people who helped move this along. This blog post is the tip of the iceberg, but hopefully helps to provide a really brief overview of why ICE/DHS posting a fashy song is worrying.

Grok Nudify, Part II: The Ghosts in the Mass Sexual Harassment Machine Part II about Elon Musk's non-consensual sexual content machine, Grok.

Part II of my writing about the mass sexual harassment machine that is Grok is now up on WXQT. This one, as one might expect from X, comes back to both misogyny and Nazi shit. Edits by the indomitable @oloonik.bsky.social.

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

This has been a really swift moving topic -- really should be a case for policy towards such models!! -- and whatever tweaks the engineers are doing has NOT stopped this yet, though it has changed some ways Grok spits stuff back out since all the likely CSAM posts.

Grok Nudify, Part I: The TfGBV-Grok Dataset Grok's runaway generative AI has allowed users of Elon Musk's X to create deeply non-consensual sexual content of people on his platform, especially women and including minors.

I wrote like 4k words on grok being used to make abusive content before realizing I needed to be a bit briefer. So, I ended up spitting that long post into two.

Here's part 1 on the grok nudify situation (edited by @oloonik.bsky.social). Part 2 out next week.

#Minneapolis: Barricades have been put up by community members to create an autonomous grieving zone on the block that Renee Good was killed by federal agent Jonathan Ross yesterday. At least one protest is planned for tonight and healing circles are happening.

Don't believe the lies DHS are telling you. A DHS agent murdered someone in Minneapolis today. Video shows that the driver was leaving the scene. DHS agents lie in court. They lie in press releases. They are trained to dehumanize you and treat you like a criminal for filming them.

likewise and understood from the jump, no sweat

agreed 100%

Tangentially, it is also telling how much the right does explicitly rely upon vacation fantasy in these colonial rhetorics -- from mint julep colonial admins to Gaza Trump Tower to all the weird tropical vacation propaganda about Venezuela rn -- dominion and leisure are deeply linked in their views

I'm just asking people not to trust the people who got everyone into this mess to get us out. Stop listening to these people.

many posting the first month after Kirk's death faced major networked harassment, but what about the crypto guys?

well, they were trying to monetize Kirk's death with hyped meme coins, indexed to conversations on Kirk (including those critical of the RW provocateur!). Read our newest:

like, as Evan points out: this is yet another "oh shit my legacy" moment without any reflection on how one's work literally directly contributed to the scenario we're in. this is so far beyond voting for the leopards eating people's faces party

There's a lot of recent interest in recouping RW 'dissidents' (Lincoln proj, never-trump, etc) but no one has to offer these people such easy rehabilitation. Taking a job at Heritage has long been a poisoned chalice; taking a senior one indicates mission alignment. Interesting note where the line is

Yeah I think the searchability of such a wide and winding corpus is a huge deal for this process specifically too (and agree w the perversion of dead people's words to fit a recuperated narrative + that it will happen w trump too)

I'm really intrigued by the potential of a social media exegesis of Kirk's words (in the biblical sense) or how this could even be akin to a sort of Ijtihad (in those approaches of the legal scholars of Islam)

Thinking about how if education is for the workforce then corporations should have to pay directly for it.
