"Once intelligent beings achieve technology and the capacity for self-destruction of their species, the selective advantage of intelligence becomes more uncertain."

-Carl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence

Look at what they have to face

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

If you find protesting against genocide offensive then I find you repulsive

Christian group ‘deceived’ supreme court about LGBTQ+ research, cited scholars say Exclusive: Experts say Alliance Defending Freedom, arguing to revive conversion therapy, ‘profoundly misrepresented’ their work in case threatening trans and queer youth

The Guardian: Lawyers trying to get the Supreme Court to overturn conversion therapy bans deceived the court about the research they cited, according to the researchers themselves.

“Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over & shooting the woman five times.”

DHS has lied, a lot, about every act of violence.

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

✡️🇵🇸 Judaism is NOT Zionism

The Chicago FOP put out a statement criticizing CPD’s response to the scene after Border Patrol shot an unarmed woman multiple times, but no comment at all about, you know, shooting an unarmed woman multiple times.

Or the fact those same agents tear-gassed roughly 2 dozen Chicago cops.

Never again was a threat.

Prominent liberals are about to start feeling the agony and terror of having handed the reins of state violence to the right wing because they preferred that to an economy of sharing.

TikTok is finished in 🇺🇸

Pigs lied, on a day that ended in ‘y’. Shocker.

it would be one thing if abandoning their most loyal voters was earning them enough votes to change the electoral calculus but what they did in 2024 that they seem determined to do again is to tell millions of their voters that they don't need us and then just lose and their a tantrum about it.

ICE wants to build a 24/7 social media surveillance team ICE plans to hire contractors to scan platforms to target people for deportation.

Earlier this year, ICE had floated plans for a system that could automatically scan social media for “negative sentiment” toward the agency and flag users thought to show a “proclivity for violence.”

Megyn Kelly has now made multiple denigrating posts about me across X, YouTube, her podcast so I’m sharing this. Unlike her, I don't perform dislike and disdain in public,then become my real self when the cameras are off. That's the definition of the grift she accuses me of;I find it profoundly sad.

The thing about Thunberg is that you don’t have to like her or think she’s doing anything ‘meaningful’, any publicity to a cause is good and she holds a mirror or to world leaders being cunts and it may seem hollow but it’s not really

Hundreds of Thousands Flood Cities Across Europe to Demand End to Genocide in Gaza | Common Dreams Massive pro-Palestine protests in Amsterdam and across Europe demand an end to Israel's attacks on Gaza. Will global condemnation and pressure on officials finally bring justice for Palestinians?…

"The bloodshed must stop."

"[W]e have such an incredibly weak government that doesn't dare to draw a red line."

A Palestine solidarity protest "on Sunday [..] in central Amsterdam, where an estimated 250,000 people gathered."

For Rama, my partner in dreams. I write because she cannot. During the genocide, writing has become an ultimate form of resistance, ensuring the histories of Gaza and our people live on forever

"The genocide can take my home, my library, my plans, and my lifelong friends, but it cannot keep me from writing."

"The pen is my weapon, and words are the land no one can occupy."

Tulane changes syllabus, fires academic director over Gaza article • Louisiana Illuminator Some say that the incident is yet another glimpse of the tense climate experienced on local and national campuses by people who support Palestine.

Tulane "terminated an academic director this summer after the syllabus she'd helped create for an infectious disease class was rejected by a newly hired instructor because it included an academic article about a polio outbreak in Gaza."

Country Star Zach Bryan Divides Fans With Anti-ICE Ballad Bryan, who has largely stayed out of politics, posted a snippet of a new song that commented on ICE raids.

“I just think insulting transgender people is completely wrong because we live in a country where we can all just be who we want to be.”
~ Zach Bryan, April 2023

Zach’s one of the good country-music guys, hope more follow his lead 👍🏼

i voted for democrats consistently in every federal, state and local election for 20 years. the fact that the party lost me through demanding i support a genocide should actually probably be considered an issue for them going forward as you libs celebrate them throwing my rights under the bus.

This is bad, our electeds are not going to use anything other than media appearances and strongly worded letters to stop it, and we need to protect each other.

Please 1) go outside, 2) find someone watching a corner during school drop off, 3) ask them how you can help.

Sky News V news @SkyNews X.com Israel's deputy foreign minister has launched a scathing attack on the UK government, accusing it of a "grotesque betrayal of truth, of justice and of Britain's Jewish community".

It’s grimly amusing how this government incurred horrible political damage toeing the US line on the genocide, to the point where ministers will be twitchy about going through customs for the rest of their lives, and their reward is far right wingnuts and fascists screaming abuse at them.

Thunberg Confirms Abuse by Israeli Abductors, But Urges World to Focus on Gaza Genocide | Common Dreams "This genocide and other genocides are being enabled and fueled by our own governments, our institutions, our media, and companies. It is our responsibility to end that complicity."

Greta Thunberg: "I will never, ever comprehend how humans can be so evil that you would deliberately starve millions of people living trapped under an illegal siege as a continuation of decades [..] of suffocating oppression, apartheid, occupation."

I missed this story when it came out last month but my god there are some amazing fucking quotes in here www.tvinsider.com/1212741/is-t...

Not as ‘staggering’ as willing to hand everything to that charlatan (again) because keeping a genocide going was more important than winning voters.
