Yes, well said. Sharing here too

The Great AI Bubble Yes, it's a bubble. And yes, it's going to burst.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

These Epstein survivors are showing photos of themselves as children.

Not “barely legal” women.

Not “junior” women.

Not women capable of consent.

Children. Who were raped & trafficked and who deserve justice.

I live in Chicago, here are some tips for dealing with the Black and Tans: Keep whistles on you to alert the neighborhood of ICE activities. Distribute whistles if you can. Post signage where people are taken, "ICE kidnapped someone here" is a powerful message. Stand firm in crosswalks or use your vehicle to obstruct ICE movement. Invite friends and family from rural areas to enjoy your cities, show them the only violence there is caused by the federal government. Post signage to alert your neighbor of the ICE activity. Record everything they do. Ask for warrants. They won't have one, but making them admit it is important. If they are on your private property, firmly tell them to leave. Sell them nothing and don't let them use restrooms. Protests. Protest. Protest. Every delay is a life saved. Remember, people aren't being deported, they are going missing.

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte

An orange kitty snuggles in a grey blanket. Meme text reads Sometimes self-care looks like this. It's okay to rest. Be kind to yourself.

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care?

You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.

We refuse to let neighbors go hungry while politicians posture. We can stand up a street-level safety net in days. Neighborhood plan: "Block Food Steward" model One steward per block. A volunteer with a single shelf or 2-3 totes of staples who coordinates quiet, no-shame help. Starter shelf (suggested): 10 lb rice • 10 lb dry beans • 8 lb pasta 12 cans vegetables • 12 cans protein (tuna/chicken/beans) 2 large peanut butter • 2 shelf-stable milk packs • 1 cooking oil Baby formula (sealed), diapers (mixed sizes), wipes, soap, toothpaste

How it works: 1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked." 2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used. 3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4." 4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names. Comment to volunteer: STEWARD - [Your Street Name] Comment to donate: DONOR - [Item or $ pledge] Need help? DM me the word BAG. No shame.

Volunteer at food banks this week. Show up for a 2-hour shift. Sorting, bagging, intake, there's a role for everyone. Donate smart. Shelf-stable staples first; ask for priority items before dropping off. Be kind to clerks. They didn't create this mess. They're catching the fallout. Hunger is not a negotiating tactic. Contact your state and federal reps today and demand: An immediate SNAP/WIC bridge with retroactive benefits. No more hostage-taking of basic nutrition assistance.

De-link food aid from unrelated fights. Fix the pipeline, then debate policy. No politics at the pantry door. We help first, argue later. No purity tests. If someone says they're short on food, we feed them. Dignity and privacy. DM, porch drop-offs, initials only. Safety: sealed formula only, check dates, store cool/dry, pet-safe. The Timeline? Tonight: Name stewards; seed each shelf with a starter kit. Within 48 hours: Every block has at least one steward, a group text, and a small reserve.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP

This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.

Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

Alt National Park Service: Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away. [AltNPS then provides a blurry picture of a National Guard memo]

AltNPS is correct: this is, in fact, a leaked document.

The part they leave out is that it was leaked to @aglantz.bsky.social at The Guardian, yesterday.

Oh heck yes. Goodbye to Spotify, who are taking $$$ to run recruitment ads for ICE.

ok I'll bite... then who created nix?

ICE violently detained a 16 year old US citizen & sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back and neck.

The kid was screaming “I’m underage! I was just going to school!”

That didn’t stop ICE from putting a knee on his neck.

Arnoldo Bazan didn’t deserve this.

No one deserves this.

Combat veteran Chris Gentry was protesting lawfully on the side of the road when an ICE agent pointed a gun at him and said “bang bang, you’re dead liberal”

He’s filed a civil rights suit… but this is going on all across the country

These men hide their faces and act outside the law.

The amount of people willing to get virus because they’re scared of looking awkward is too MFing high. This culture is down so fucking bad.

There are two things that guarantee massive instability in authoritarian regimes, not paying the military and starving the citizenry. Trump is now managing to do both at the same time.

Curly quotes: definite sign of text written by an LLM! (…or by someone using a Mac, iPhone, Google Docs, or any word processing software)

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions.

Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions.

Food prices are rising.

The government has been shut down for 25 days.

What is Trump focused on?

Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

Not just another flu, COVID-19 complacency risks lives By Katelyn Catanzariti Updated October 25 2025 - 7:31am, first published 7:30am Two healthcare workers in full protective gear, including gowns, gloves, and masks, wheel a patient on a stretcher into a hospital.

Not just another flu, COVID-19 complacency risks lives

Former ABC medical reporter Sophie Scott warns that complacency about COVID has set in. Public health messaging has faded, yet large numbers are still catching COVID, being hospitalised, or dying — COVID hasn’t gone away.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Watch.

Anti-trans group admits bathroom predator myth is made up Dec 07 2018 • Written by Sofia Lotto Persio

Swimmer Riley Gaines Admits She's Just Using Sports to Make Trans Rights "Crumble"

Helen Joyce reveals plans to use fears around trans kids as stepping stone to eliminate "trans" in public life by Mallory Moore & transsafety.network

right wing bigots have admitted

- the “trans women in bathrooms” issue

- the “trans women in sports” issue and

- the “trans kids getting surgery” issue

were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY

are you paying attention?

You know, I *always* wondered where did the money come from?

I don't believe that sex work pays the kind of money that went through Epstein's office.

Blackmail might.

Confronted with the peaceful resistance of everyday people loving their neighbors, this regime of the bullies for the billionaires inflicts violence. Thank you, again, all who confront this evil & greatest hopes your safety & continued strength.

You've only just started.

You need to keep doing it, over and over again, like Georgia.

Better yet, a national strike and bring the economy to its knees until Trump is forced out.

Long covid made me go from being a fairly competitive rower exercising multiple times a day to a wheelchair user who couldn't walk up the stairs in my own home.

I am doing much better but it has been *years*, and getting sick still floors me in a way it never ever did before. It's no joke.

Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

I feel like a disabled autistic 15 year old child going missing and ending up with ICE/HHS should be far bigger news.

Especially considering he’s been located yet NOT returned to his mother.

This is kidnapping.

Yet the combination of racism & ableism means it gets ignored.

"You could direct your frustration over said unreasonable, untenable situation upward, where it belongs: at the government, not downward, at struggling sick people, who have no choice but to engage with COVID safety practices including masking." - @juliadoubleday.bsky.social

yes, sir!

Unfortunately, you’re most infectious before you know when you’re under the weather. Also unfortunately, while the vaccine is indeed a miracle (at preventing hospitalization and death), the virus still does permanent damage. Problem is so few people know/talk about it; we were all eager to move on.
