One of the goals of totalitarians is to make their presence the sum total of your life, don’t let them.

They think punk means *acting without consent* not *acting in defiance of power*

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

No crypto in Canton: Town blocks data centers and crypto mining operations Canton’s makeshift town hall in a tiny trailer was bursting at the seams Wednesday night with citizens united against data centers and cryptocurrency mining.

For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now.

I still prefer clean drinking water no matter how “good” AI could possibly become. The fact that it is mediocre at best is a slap in the face.

Meet Aliya Rahman, Disabled U.S. Citizen Assaulted, Jailed & Traumatized by ICE in Minneapolis We speak with Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was violently dragged from her car by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month and detained at the Whipple Federal Building, which has beco...

"Anybody knows, who studies history, what happens when you have folks who are now treating these humans as bodies, and you have no reason to believe you’re going to make it out alive from a place where they’re already calling you a body." Thank you, Aliya Rahman, for this brave testimony & analysis💥

Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

Evil men like Epstein are, in the simplest form, obsessed with eugenics because they believe that their ill-gotten gains are the product of some innate superiority.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

And these folks also have a very low opinion of disabled folks (another oppressive belief system). Mental illness is illness. It’s not ideology.

I do not think the most significant cultural shifts will come from a World War, Class War, Race War, or whatever other battle people weirdly fantasize about. I think it’ll be an integration of the idea that children are people and not the property of their parents.

"DOGE’s objective was never to save taxpayer dollars. Musk did not 'fail'...DOGE was—and remains, through Vought’s OMB—an effort to extinguish the existing government and create a new one in the image of oligarchs and far-right ideologues."

I’m a millennial who prefers the written word. I’m grateful not everything is videos. But I would love world where you aren’t judged for being a baddie as well.

Very timely for me because I had a session with my therapist this week about how I feel a human duty to witness. I’m not a writer or public figure but I want to honor the victims by looking at the truth. I couldn’t sleep well for this past week so I’m taking a brief hiatus.

The reason "Abolish ICE" scares them so much is because it speaks to the power of political imagination. Our political imagination has been intentionally suppressed in favor of the stagnation and inertia of the short-term profit economy's political desires. This is existential as well as physical.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.

Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

"My bills to rein in ICE reported from committee on party line votes. No Republican voted to protect Virginia residents - several suggested this act of resistance would make us a target. What ever happened to ‘Don’t Tread on Me’?" - VA State Sen. Saddam Salim

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Rodney Taylor from ICE Detention

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Fantastic way to explain this ideology. A kind of “don’t tread on my neighbors” ethos. I felt this sense growing up in Appalachia. And yes that included people that didn’t look or behave like we did. Get out of our holler! I hope that ethos returns.

Beautiful photos and beautiful alt text. Love the third description as waterlogged parchment. Turns out you’ve got a way with words.

Queso

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

Seriously, a statewide general strike with backing from the AFL-CIO is unprecedented in modern times

It's extremely telling that this isn't getting media coverage ahead of time

I noticed it forgot that certain words exist. Like genocide.
