Are you starting to get it? He was always going to hit us. You will not change the math by insisting that people assume some magical form of perfect victimhood that somehow reels in a monster. That's not real. And I am so sick of hearing it.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

We recorded this last Wednesday, and remarked on how much would probably change before it's up since there are like a dozen new horrible things every day now.

In the time since then, Border Patrol tear gassed several neighborhoods—and shot a woman:

It’s getting harder with every passing day to answer the basic “how are you doing?” greeting in work calls. Never mind squashing the ever-present autistic urge to answer the literal question, now I’m also stumbling over my response because *gestures broadly*

Should've used this photo

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

Remember when @govpritzker.illinois.gov said they'd have to go through him? Where is that? The feds are shooting people with live rounds. Like with a regular, actual gun.

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

Lmao "Why you keep coming for NPR?" oh I don't know

Regardless of if you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, the Harvest Moon, or just making it through the day, every night we see is another one our enemies wish we hadn't.

Here's tonight's #FullMoon rising.

I hope if you have some clear skies you can look up and smile tonight. ❤️

Parents will grieve their kid's autism diagnosis - even if there are no new challenges or issues - which is how you know kids have no rights & are not seen as full people. Because we should be grieving the time they spent being unsupported.

In neurodivergent circles when someone is diagnosed we cheer and congratulate them because we know what they went through to get this point. but you do you, Terrified Normal Man

Thank you Portland FROG and everyone standing up to ICE

Don't forget to go outside and look at the supermoon tonight! I will be pointing my Seestar at it.

Space Law, Race, and Neurodiversity: Autistic Advocate AJ Link We live in a country & society that is built on racism. The neurodivergent community isn't free of that racism—per Autistic advocate AJ Link.

“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform?

erin is back, which is good, and I do think the “this was a mod error based off people brigading and reporting erin’s post in bad faith” explanation is likely correct

but honestly at this point I don’t understand why there isn’t an extra layer of review for prominent accounts because of optics

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

What we don't know is which agent shot her? And is that agent, who is clearly a danger, still on the streets?

Many police departments, like CPD, will require an officer to go on administrative duty for 30 days after a shooting.

I've asked DHS if they have such a policy, but they didn't respond.

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

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

To be absolutely clear: if ICE or DHS says something happened, it almost certainly didn't happen.

And even if it did, at this point, the burden is on them to produce evidence. Anybody who gives them even the least benefit of the doubt hasn't been paying attention.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Unacceptable to put the costs of the AI boom on the backs of families struggling to pay their bills. It’s a crisis.

THIS feels incredibly toxic after the behaviour of Bsky leadership this last week.

How often do I see toxicity?
I see Palestinians get deleted for asking for help.
I see sex workers harassed.
I see Jewish people brigaded.
I see trans people put on irl watchlists.
I see white supremacists lauded.
