Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness

Courts can SAY "you can't do that" but only people who take action can make it actually true.

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.

This really sucks. Mark is awesome and he will be a huge loss for Rutgers and America.

This is why most antifascists stay anonymous. The death threats and danger are very real.

The Sinister Reason Trump Is Itching to Invoke the Insurrection Act An authoritarian’s dream, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse — and Trump’s Cabinet is already setting up his justification to use it.

Concern that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act to take control of blue cities is by no means far-fetched. Our cities are already occupied by a federal army of thugs— ICE — directed to kidnap and cage our neighbors, atop regular police violence. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/10/07/t...

ICE agents in Chicago can't even find a restroom.
They can't sit down for a meal.
You starve them.
You isolate them.
You make them unwelcome everywhere they go.

I’m glad people are aware of this, but it isn’t new. People in immigration detention were consistently moved away from their attorneys in the Biden admin. We reported on it then, but very few people cared about migrants when they weren’t a partisan tool.

Felt ok hitting share on this because it's already very much on the internet, but yes, people should absolutely be more aware before uploading video with faces.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

People hate what is happening, which means there are people around you who want to help stop it. You are not alone in wanting to take action. Step up and help; it works.

The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

World+ HERTA MÜLLER "In Gaza, the Queers for Palestine would not survive for half an hour." By Jan Philipp Burgard Editor-in-Chief WELT Group As of 04.10.2025 | Reading time: 11 minutes

She’s not wrong as Israel would exterminate them just as Israel exterminates everyone.

It’s the same stupid argument for the past decade. These people think that Queer Palestinians don’t exist, that they’re not also being starved to death and bombed from the skies by that genocidal state.

If you saw someone do something cool and illegal NO YOU DIDN'T.

This one's full up right now but you can always start another one!

You can join an anarchist publishing collective at literally any time!

Shows multiple dominatrices in leather skirts and thigh-high boots welding whips over manual laborers who are mining a pit. The dominatrix in the foreground has a purple UW hat photoshopped on her head. The text says "This is the future PSYCH 210 wants."

From the videos we've seen, it looks like the Neo-Nazi who crashed a sex-ed course at UW got off easy...

The University of Washington might be a fascist institution, complicit in genocide, but it has a long history of anti-fascist faculty and students.

oh no

always two more

I have escaped so far but they're definitely coming for me.

Surely the next one I'm added to will be The One!

Wait, how many signal group chats do I have to join before it's enough for the revolution to happen again?

In Little Village, Residents Are Blowing Actual Whistles To Warn Neighbors About ICE Residents have equipped themselves with bright orange whistles amid ramped-up ICE arrests. "People could hear that noise, and if they don’t have legal status, go the other way," one immigrant advocate...

when it comes to neighborhoods there are many non-digital ways to help each other. without needing permission from billionaires or the feds

Whistles!

The risible thing about these "AI = people" posts is that there would be a philosophical dilemma if we encountered truly sentient AI. There are roughly one million sci-fi stories on this very topic. But they're doing all this for autocomplete. They're doing this for a spellcheck that can't spell.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

We're not economists, but we talked to some very reliable line-goes-up-line-goes-down knowers and they said these coins will be worth 17 cents and can only be used to buy bitcoins and fossil fuel stock.
