genAI is dying repost to make it die faster

Good morning. For everyone who wants to get a better gander at the cover of our new album, The World Is To Dig, here you go. The painting is Yosemite Valley after Thomas Hill, circa 1882. Song titles included! Arrives April 14.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

The story I'm imagining fondly through all this is that maybe the agents' wives and kids back home are watching the news, pocketing whistles and joining chats, and next time Dad comes home and starts beating up the family, they're going to alert and the whole neighborhood will come running to help

We are all deeply concerned that Juan and his mom will be deported and that Juan’s health will continue to deteriorate. His life is in danger because of ICE’s monstrous cruelty. I will continue to provide updates and we will keep fighting to protect them.

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

Yeah, reality has to be created. I mean, fuck, how many people who would NEVER have told a pollster 3 years ago that they favored secret police snatching random Latinos off the street are cheering them now? People will go with what's going; you have to tell them where their compass should point.

one huge problem with the "just do what polling says is popular" crowd is their seeming belief that what is popular is some immutable everpresent force and not something that is incredibly malleable, particularly by people with power.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Trump is not an aberration. He is a symptom of a much larger disease.

You do not get to Donald Trump and American Fascism without George W. Bush and if you find yourself trying to paint him in a positive light you have absolutely lost the plot.

Also: UBI and universal healthcare and massive affordable housing policies are required. 1st, because basic humanity and morality. 2nd, because the bullshit scam economy that enriches billionaires depends on scarcity & desperation. UBI, universal healthcare, & housing are part of defeating fascism.

Building of labor with no banners

Well a small spot of actually making DC beautiful again: the giant Trump banner finally came off the Labor Building

Two-month-old baby 'choking on his own vomit' while detained in Dilley 'His life is in danger,' U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility...

Dilley must be shut down and everyone inside must be freed and provided immediate medical care. www.sacurrent.com/news/two-mon...

Whatever happens with Operation Metro surge there needs to be accountability of our law enforcement. Let’s remember this all started when right-wing influencers came to our state (with assistance from the MN GOP) to target Somali daycares and film children. Our cops didn’t protect kids and look.

The Project 2025 architect who promised to put federal employees “in trauma” is spending $15 million of former USAID funding—money that would have gone toward fighting HIV, polio, malaria, and other diseases—to bankroll his security detail. trib.al/TSV3cmb

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.

Name and shame the architecture firms doing the permit drawings for these conversions. Someone is getting GSA fees to draw concentration camp fit outs and people should know who those firms are.

Last month, an 18-month-old at Dilley was taken to a regional children's hospital with dangerously low blood-oxygen levels after her parents had begged for weeks for someone at the facility to address her illness, the parents said in an emergency petition for her release. A 35-year-old woman released last week said medical staff initially refused to see her after she began hemorrhaging profusely, soaking through six sanitary pads in an hour; she was ultimately taken to a hospital. And last summer, a 32-year-old man died at the Florence center after being detained at the facility for roughly three weeks. The man had been detained even though he was seriously ill with diabetes and had recently been hospitalized with dangerously high blood sugar.

Whenever you read a horrifying list like this about people who are critically ill or died in ICE concentration camps it’s important to remember that these are just the stories that got out because they were lucky enough to have lawyers who could tell their stories.

ICE has a $75 billion stash for its Nazi/Klan activities and concentration camps. Ds must take ANY and ALL opportunities to claw back and divert that funding.

One of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, forces in public opinion is elite leadership. Partisans largely “follow the lead“ of their side’s elites.
Arguing Dems shouldn’t try to shape opinion is arguing they should give up this power voluntarily. That’s dumb, not to mention morally vacuous

Nuremberg Trials.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

I've been thinking about this all afternoon. How many of us would it take to go down there and liberate them by sheer force of numbers? How many Americans are angry and organized enough to join a convoy to Texas right now? I think it's a lot. Like, a LOT a lot.

If Dems made demand to get all kids & their caretakers out of concentration camps, grinding all Congressional business to halt plus using their massive texting lists to organize caravans to create Occupy Dilly encampment, I would give them every dollar I have. And so would many.

I was shared this animated map built from locally collected data along with other crowd sourced sites showing ICE activity in Minnesota during “Operation Metro Surge”

If 1 in 700 Americans is pissed off enough right now to make the drive to Texas, which frankly seems pretty plausible, we could have half a million people outside those gates.

Look, are we organized enough that we can collectively set a deadline for this? Like, if this camp isn't closed and everyone released by March 10, we're all going to drive down there and liberate it by sheer force of numbers?

The actual lesson is that if you try to engage in draconian immigration enforcement to appease the xenophobic right, you are just confirming to them that they are right and encouraging their xenophobia.

You voted to confirm a Trump judge the day after they murdered Renee Good.

Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls to South Texas shelter flagged as medically inadequate Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

The Trump administration is incarcerating migrant girls in, essentially, a forced pregnancy camp.
