Dont get me wrong, my mom has been apolitical or GOP until T**** and shame on her.

Not fixing the typo.

His complaint? He is white, a veteran and they are at HIS door.

Bless my mom, she empathized then immediately gave him 5 action items. A few for the personal and ta few for the larger picture ie voting, building community and power.

My mom, who lives in a pro MAGA Bobert rural ag area, encountered an elderly white veteran who told her about ICE coming to his door to let him know he cannot post anti ICE rhetoric. Now he is old enough to be confused about agencies, however it is still a govt arm at his doorstep.

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT [a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision] "In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Off to Palm Springs with a client. Get to sit in a house with people who hate that I am there and make snide comments as if I cannot hear them.

But they itnitially raised it over 25%

Amazon let ICE into their facility in Hazel Park, MI.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

The industry already has subpar pay and very few protections. This will force either placement or family care.

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

At the very least you'd think there would be someone with a phone, tablet or even before the event feeding the information so that this doesn't happen. Professionalism.

The disrespect to call a victim of state murder "fella" is part for the course for people like you. It took the hard work of Black led groups to create the momentum after he died. Your energy would be better used to find a rock and kick it.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Meanwhile staff in these facilities are fighting for their residents to receive better care, better conditions and not pay so damn much to the owners.

I was having a conversation with someone about elder care with regards to placement in facilities. The entire time this person complained about how bad they have become and when presented with concrete actions to help, they said it wasnt their responsibility.

I truly despise bitching about things yet doing nothing but pointing at other people to fix the problem.

212 million white Americans could also speak up, which would be far more effective but that would require some personal political responsibility.

You know, snow doesnt have to mean bitter cold. We asked for snow, not this cold.

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Since I know that this is something that white people love to do to Black people I know yall are responsible for irking the Greenlanders with this dumb shit too.

STOP APOLOGIZING AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!! Your apologies don’t mean jack shit and yes I’m talking about all of you.

Chinese Americans are “liable to arrest at any time and place by zealous immigration officials upon the charge of being unlawfully in the country.”

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
