Respect to these kids! Fuck that fascist!

The rich have always been this way.

I can’t even watch the trailer of that gross AI slop film for more than Iike ten seconds

Rice students expose ICE raids with new interactive map It's a nationwide digital spotlight on ICE arrests and detention centers.

College money well spent and needed.

Rice students created an interactive map exposing ICE raids across the country as they're unfolding.

Soon it will be a map of ICE raids and ICE murders.

Keep reminding Schumer and Dems.

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

Reminder: There's no such thing as a "moderate" ideology. There exists no set of ideas upon which moderates agree. That's why efforts to create centrist parties always fail.

A "moderate" Dem is one who embraces Republican policies. The real question: What are those policies?

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Like what do you fucking MEAN John Brown was hanged for treason but Jefferson Davis spent 3 years under house arrest and then never had to go to trial bc the entirety of the Confederate leadership received unconditional pardons

At this point, the Democrats literally want to fund fascism no matter the cost that’s the only thing that can be taken away from the national level Democrats actions. It appears the leadership of the party want fascist secret police more than some of the Republican Party.

In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

Barack Obama used a combination of federal, state, and corporate security forces to violently crush the Occupy protest movement, pioneering techniques subsequently used during the blue riot against Black people in Ferguson, on down the line to Minnesota today. His reticence now fits the pattern.

2020 feels like a sort of cultural turning point where some art/media that came out before it feels completely incompatible with the world that exists after 2020. The movie Jojo Rabbit, for example

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Go raibh míle maith agat!

Thank you! Been wanting to read Pachinko for ages. I’ll cue it up. Also delighted to learn of The Sympathizer.

One thing I left out: GET A LIBRARY CARD!! Public libraries are beacons of hope in these times, and they need your support!

Not only do these titles connect me with my heritage, they challenge and spark my imagination and increase my capacity for complex thought and its expression. Fascism thrives when our powers of discernment are dulled. I firmly believe if everyone read and wrote more, we might not be where we are.

of the origins of faeries and other supernatural beings in the folklore of the British Isles. I just finished Celtic Twilight, by W. B. Yeats, which is a collection of stories about The Good People (what the Irish call faeries) that Yeats collected from all over Ireland, but primarily in the west.

with the inner workings of our own minds. Read anything, but begin with what you enjoy; and if you can, keep a literature journal to engage deeply with what you read. Right now I am toggling between The Silmarillion and a book called, Twilight of the Godlings, by F. Young, an academic exploration

I am begging you all to read and write more. Do it every day, for as long as you can, if you can. I know it’s a privilege to have the time for such things, but I truly believe it’s the easiest and least risky way to fight fascism. Fascism needs us to be us dumb and impressionable, unacquainted

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago?

From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this.

And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene. “That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

Look, all of them need to go. All of them. They are all there because they decided to get up in the morning and work for some mf who is racist garbage! They knew what it was, just like the streets. You know what you doing out there, don't be surprised when you a mark.
