Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the Marinette, the last boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla that was still sailing towards Gaza.

Crew members held up signs saying they saw warships approaching before soldiers boarded and detained them at gunpoint.

Read and share. And lay off trans people, you weirdos.

They used tear gas on him, and wouldn't let him shower. For three days.

That stuff gets in every pore. Your skin burns for days, even after a shower.

This is torture.

President Trump's deportations are diverting FBI agents off child predator cases Officials warn that President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown is leaving domestic terrorists, including online extremists who prey on children, unpoliced.

“Nearly every agent on Baltimore’s domestic terrorism squad was reassigned this year to work full time on immigration enforcement, forcing them to walk away from investigations of a network of violent predators that targets and exploits children online.”

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Whole thread. We’re in an up-in-the-air moment now: one hand, Trump threatening civil war; other, ICE being turned back by civil disobedience. Moral: fascists don’t know yet how far they’re willing to go. My belief: more moments like this now will prevent the war that’s been threatened.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

#Martha’sVineyard FBI & ICE Just running around willy-nilly…

CW: Sexual assault

Men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and assault women. This is one of many reasons why we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Tell your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

3/3 The other is a very good breakdown about unrealistic expectations many folks have of VPNs, and how many of the popular options are actually outright spyware.

I've been known to get on the privacy/security soap box with some frequency. I've seen a couple videos which I think everyone ought to learn from! 🧵1/3

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has pulled investments from 11 Israeli companies, citing concerns over Israel’s ongoing war and blockade in Gaza. The fund, the largest in the world, had previously held stakes in 61 Israeli firms.

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

ICE Agents Deserve No Privacy Attempts by the public to keep tabs on ICE are provoking predictable and pathetic responses from the government.

Mask off.

I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.

Whoa! Alligator Alcatraz is going to be complete by Tuesday and open for operation on Wednesday.

Am I the only one wondering how Ron DeSantis got this together so fast?

Floridians, make sure you remember this the next time a hurricane hits and you can’t get disaster relief in your state.

I still think the Good Place should have had a breakfast diner called The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelettes.

Israeli Soldiers Killed at Least 410 People at Food Aid Sites in Gaza This Month The U.S.-backed system for food aid in Gaza is a “tactical intervention in humanitarian wrapping,” per an Israeli professor.

“Desperate, hungry people in Gaza continue to face the inhumane choice of either starving to death or risk being killed while trying to get food.”

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Kudos to the bird that managed to shit an image of itself onto this bloke's car.
