Ash, apparently

You cannot reform this. The purpose of a system is what it DOES. The purpose of ICE is the mass detention of lawfully-abiding citizens and others with legal status, whose mere existence upsets the regime in some fashion. ICE is not reformable.

ICE must be dismantled and abolished.

Anyone still muttering "gosh wow it's hard but we need to have law and order so maybe more training" needs to be slapped over and over with: They're just fucking kidnapping people. They're just fucking kidnapping people. There is no law or order. They're just fucking kidnapping people.

So deeply embarrassing

This is so bad you guys. So SO bad.

"Til Underverse Come" yeah okay, but what if we're ALREADY in the Underverse you ever think of that?

I'm betting @kairyssdal.bsky.social agrees with this

I am sorry but this is still the core problem with trying to parse anything he says about tariffs.

I mean it IS illegitimate but not for the reasons he thinks

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

Metadata Exposes Authors of ICE’s ‘Mega’ Detention Center Plans Comments and other data left on a PDF detailing Homeland Security's proposal to build “mega” detention and processing centers reveal the personnel involved in its creation.

NEW: Metadata left in a PDF exposes the people behind ICE's "mega" detention center plans, including the director of the Newark ERO field office and a former GEO Group executive. @regret.bsky.social with more:

I’m Tired Of These Useless Jackasses Making The Computer Expensive RAM, flash memory, and HDDs are unaffordable because of a bunch of greedy idiots that do not love the computer.

YES THIS

"It has been a historically bad time to buy any computer that is not a Mac mini since about mid September . . . Price hikes in RAM are entirely thanks to the Y Combinator-brained jackasses pushing AI into everything."

*you do not under any circumstance have to hand it to JR.

Probably this will definitely normal and not at all weird and affirm the Supreme Courts standing as a coequal branch of government.

It definitely won’t involve any weird vague threats about burning down the constitutional order, possibly after looking into matters for two weeks.

You can't just call everything an emergency and bypass Congress's ONE JOB lol

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his life’s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

*long, slow whistle*

Hoooooo boy

So uh, Trump's tariffs are illegal?

What a fucking mess that's going to be to clean up

Oh I do hope so

There's a sector of people who are far too willing to extend grace to these racist, xenophobic Nazi collaborators, on the grounds of money worries

I would rather be homeless than a Nazi and you should too

So knock this shit off

There's nothing you could do to me to make me into the kind of person that reports their neighbors to the SS.

Not even the ones I don't like.

Millions upon millions of good people face economic anxiety every day. Recently I was facing the prospect of losing my house if I didn't get a better job with health insurance. It's still not 100% and I'm still worried about it.

But I'm not a Nazi.

Can we talk about this for a second? This sentiment?

This was in response to that whole thing where a guy set up a fake hotline and recorded locals trying to get their neighbors and neighbors' kids deported

And it's the kind of thing that people keep saying and it needs to stop

As an aside: the most influential Dem consultants all believe the best electoral strategy is to adopt a hostile posture towards the Dem base in the hopes that might convince this person to vote for Dems.

They get really mad if you say that won't do anything except depress lean-Dem turnout.

“This decision is an important step toward upholding what fear tried to destroy: the right to speak for peace and justice,” as Mohsen said today.

I’m honored to call Mohsen a friend, and I can’t wait to congratulate him on the day he becomes a U.S. citizen.

Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

Lots of them are panicking that AI uptake isn't fast enough and they might run out of momentum to do the sweep they are attempting to do on society.

This isn't about AI, it's about the window in which they have permission to remould society.
