This post is going around again so I will add this excellent resource: leavesubstack.com

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.

Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

State troopers used pretexts such as bent license plates, unlit temporary tags, and dark window tints to pull people over, so that ICE, which can’t make routine traffic stops, could check their immigration status—and bypass constitutional and legal protections in the process. (3/x)

Let's ask the NYPD to "be patient" and come back next year for more funds.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

this seems mask off in a particularly weird way, even by the dismal standards of our present political era

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

It’s my birthday and I’m really hoping to reach this goal today! 🥳🎉🎂

Teen girl in hospital bed reading from her little clam shell

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

the idea the left is sticking their fingers in their ears on AI and the right is the only place where serious conversations are happening is so fucking annoying. we're like loud as fuck about our criticisms and literally no one can refute them because they are factual. the right is starting ai cults

I’m a leftist, and I’m pro technology

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

'Black people don't tip' is a wild stereotype to anyone who's ever worked more than two seconds in the service industry.

1. Try and rush through legislation that makes voting without certain forms of ID possible.
2. Take away the ability of accessible institutions to help obtain the most expensive kind of ID. One many people now need to vote.
3. Authoritarian profit

Welp.

this feels like a Roger Bannister four minute mile moment for "reactionary centrism". a level of reactionary centrism doctors (of political science) assured us was impossible but that training, dedication, ingenuity, and the Indomitable human spirit were determined to overcome

Abolition Is Still the Only Way Out of This Forget the useless so-called “reforms” to ICE and policing currently on offer. We need much more fundamental change.

Democrats are suggesting reforms for ICE, but the reality is: abolition is the way forward, not reform.

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

“Oh what’s your favorite Scream 7 poster” none because it’s dead to me

Idk how to tell y’all but Scream franchise is dead. Over. RIP. Canceled. Between the way they did Melissa, and the AI; it’s over.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Ramos' parents, originally from Ecuador, were set for their asylum hearing in late Feb. DHS abruptly moved it up to THIS MORNING.

They are not in the U.S. illegally and have no criminal record. DHS is simply trying to end their asylum claims.
