the thing that is most maddening to me lately is that ice is LOSING, everyone HATES THEM, they are phenomenally unpopular even with trump voters, and the entire regime is desperately playing tough before trump himself predicts we retake the house and impeach them all

but gaza is still being bombed

Posting the she-ra and the princesses of power theme song lyrics in my political discussion group as a call to action to see if anyone notices.

Trump Admin Hopes to Use ICE Shooting Probe to Target Soros and the Left Trump’s Justice Department and FBI are expanding his smear campaign against Renee Nicole Good – and trying to go after so-called ‘left-wing terror networks.’

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

Did you hear about the Adelaide writers festival in Australia? A Zionist group got them to sideline a Palestinian writer and all the authors closed ranks. The festival was cancelled the board was fired she was given a formal apology.

Personal Details of Thousands of Border Patrol and ICE Goons Allegedly Leaked in Huge Data Breach A DHS whistleblower appears to have exposed data on federal immigration workers after the shooting of Renee Good.

"Sensitive details of around 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees—including almost 2,000 agents working in frontline enforcement—have allegedly been released by a...Homeland Security whistleblower following last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good."

Ok so I've lost my Facebook, that's all my friends contacts over the last 20 years which is a big deal if you're disabled and housebound. My family group chat. My media discussion group I was running and a couple of business discussions regarding my art and hobby interests.

It says I did something bad that I didn't do.

What sort of help?

If anyone's following me from Facebook my account just got nuked.

This actually makes sense because they want to police and dictate gender roles. Men should fight and die for the regime, women should be in the kitchen and incubating future soldiers.

Honestly I think I should have have started ten years ago if I wanted to move the needle but we can only look forwards. Besides the people doing it over the last ten years, including your good self helped get me where I am now so no regrets.

I think you would have a unique perspective.

I'm doing an anti-fascist media literacy group.

The kicking in the balls part or the orchiectomy part? I say both, screw political dynasties.

That came out a lot more hopeful the last time I said it, I think I missed a bit.

We're flying in a plane with no engines, it will come down on its own, don't worry about that part. Our job is to save as many lives as possible.

Someone got mad at me about pronouns but they thought I was dunking on trans people so I can work with that. Also someone tried to do an exorcism on me. Leave my demons alone, the aircon's on, they have water, their favourite music is playing.

Abolish Israel.

Not my thing so I never saved it but I know exactly what you're talking about

My right wing brother came over for afternoon tea. Highlander rules, we don't fight on holy ground sort of thing. He said he didn't like the direction they're taking Star Trek in and that they should concentrate on having a strong story first.

You literally can't please everyone.

That certainly added a new spin on the material.

I've sort of been delving into the Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes fandoms and it's connecting a lot of dots. I guess Nicholas Meyer is a big late 19th century fiction guy in general as well as a Sherlock Holmes novelist because his touch points were Hornblower and The Prisoner Of Zenda.

Especially depending on if we get Cristian Jesus or Muslim Jesus.

Oh! Sorry, I'd missed the pronoun update. Hell yeah!

Looks like I need to give all my personal data to epic games to keep using this platform... So Mastodon I guess?

Napoleon crowns himself emperor

Trump giving himself a FIFA medal

How it started, how it's going

For some reason I thought you meant the mythological Prometheus being ahead of his time and... Ok where are you going with this?

But yeah, Prometheus very weird thematic interesting film. A lot of the themes around quarantine date back to the original movie which I don't think has been matched.

Oooh. Yes, that's really bad.

I agree but could someone fill me in on the specific context?

It's like you open your phone and see someone say "have you seen the latest f**ked up thing?" and you don't want to commit yourself to a firm yes in case your f**ked up thing isn't the latest and most f**ed up.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.
