Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Consistently un-fuck-withable band for the entirety of their existence.

Like what do you think they're buying all those warehouses for? They're hoping and praying you don't see what's happening. And the people telling you to calm down are helping them. In fact, having people on "our side" telling you we're stuck and can't do anything are the biggest help to their agenda

I'm looking to interview some non-American musicians or bands who've decided not to tour in the U.S. this year because of ICE. Please hit my DMs if you are willing to chat about this decision.

Impunity at the Border: Inside US Border Patrol’s ‘cover-up’ unit We investigate secretive units within the US Border Patrol that have been accused of covering up agent misconduct.

This is from 2022, but it’s well worth a watch today after we’ve all witnessed how ICE/CBP lie and destroy evidence to cover-up their violence, even when all eyes and cameras are on them in an urban environment.

CBP’s Critical Incident Teams’ mission was to cover-up misconduct, including murder.

The Transformative Power of the White ‘Race Traitor’

"The first person to be executed for treason in the US was not a spy or someone who sold secrets to a foreign government. It was not a Confederate general who took up arms against his government. It was an abolitionist named John Brown." from @nhannahjones.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

FBI Counterterrorism Agents Spent Weeks Seeking a Climate Activist — Then Showed Up at His Door The visit suggests a possible FBI probe into Extinction Rebellion NYC as the Trump administration increases surveillance of activist groups.

We are about to see a draconian crackdown like we’ve never seen in living memory, really begging music writers and artists to find ways to engage with climate activism, this is the last chance we have in the US.

Yeah, but is there piezo on the stash spot?

bite the hand that will not feed

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

This is why you need to trust your gut about tech and SV. They do not know what they're doing. The guys in charge are idiots trying to convince non techy Americans that the future they're pushing is inevitable because they're leveraged up to their eyeballs and will need a bailout soon.

I had to use it while on the job search this time last year, and yes, an absolutely appalling place. Every function of it is unpleasant.

Takaat are so great, and that poster gets somehow even cooler if one crosses their eyes just right.

When we find out all the shit that's happening in the kids camp it's gonna rock people to their core. Done in your name with your tax money by your reps in Congress. Remember who this administration is and who this party is. The Epstein Class. And Dems know it! They bring up Epstein all the time. So

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Non-zero chance this all stemmed from a government staffer somewhere having a chatbot write up a memo for them and just hitting Send, right?

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
