the end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.

every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf”

The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

@edmundm.bsky.social hey~ wondering if you can comment about the violent occupation in MN right now in the Mewgenics stream and (game-related) does letting poop pile up in the house have any benefit? Thanks!

Regardless of how you feel about the song, good to have people like the boss amplifying the message with their platform :-) where’s your voice Bob Dylan??

thanks Bruce

Some people say not to call them Nazis because there are antecedents in our own history, while others are over-reliant on outside examples. But it's important to acknowledge the mingling of our own trends and history with global fascist legacies and movements because that's our reality.

Everyone is paranoid today and it’s not helpful. I get it, but please take a deep breath, do some stretches or something, and consider this thread before jumping on your neighbors

i once asked an older greek anarchist how it is that greek protestors go so hard and he said that having overthrown a fascist regime in living memory, everyone knows what the cops are and whose side they're on and i think we're getting there.

A snippet of propaganda churning out from extremely influential far-right voices desperately trying to frame Minnesota as some wild chaotic place when it is being made chaotic by DHS instigating and attacking and desperately trying to goad well-disciplined Minnesotans into riots.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.

More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents
- people

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

National Nurses United (@nationalnurses.bsky.social) The largest RN union in U.S. history, with more than 225,000 nurses nationwide.

NEWS: @nationalnurses.bsky.social “demands Congress abolish ICE entirely. We will be doing everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people.”

the right ALWAYS trots out: “he/she was no angel.” they’re trying it with the two recent murders. they tried it with George Floyd. there was a mass uprising and protest movement in response to Floyd’s murder, even though he wasn’t a “perfect victim.” I just think the whole idea is overthought

idk, I think we should worry less about creating narratives of “perfect victims” of state violence. Alex Pretti, Renee Good, & Philando Castile were lovely people who helped their communities. some other victims of state violence were complex/struggling with demons. all were human. all were murdered

It is not your duty to finish the work, but neither are you free to abandon it

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

If you love people, tell them that as well.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

Even Hobbes, the most notoriously pro authoritarian government philosopher in history, who thought you had to obey even the worst government because it was better than no government, said that if your government just starts killing you, you don't have a social contact.

You don't have a government.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

“This is un-American“ is anti-Indigenous, anti-Black gaslighting and if you find that inconvenient imagine how our colonized and enslaved ancestors felt and grow the fuck up

The last general strike in Minneapolis was in 1934.

It started in May, leading to a series of small battles between strikers and police. The two sides agreed to a contract on May 25.

Employers reneged in July, and police opened fire on protesters who flooded the streets. Two died, 67 were wounded.
