what a month, huh

Two American journalists, Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, have been taken by ICE.

I don’t think it’s an accident that they are both black.

Now requires a disambiguation page

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.

And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.

Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.

It's a power grab.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

dyk je ještě brzo, tohle je téma na čtvrtýho ledna večer

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond?

By garnishing their wages.

When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond?

By extending their tax cuts.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

You think you're safe because you're white? He's talked about leftist, queer folks, journalists, activists. They will grab anyone they want. They will steal from everyone they can get away with. You'll have neighbors informing on neighbors to snap up their property on the cheap. Y'all are fucking children. Read a fucking book.

Shocked centrist: «Nobody predicted [this]… It’s just futile trying to predict anything.»

Not only was yesterday's Arctic sea-ice extent a record low for the day, yesterday's extent beat every year prior to 2024 by over half a million square kilometers.

The Arctic currently has a streak of 21 straight days of record low sea-ice extent.

And not only that – if the kids get barred from instant messaging, it harms their flexibility and in the end it just supports helicopter parenting.

My kids have matrix account on my private infrastructure by which they might evade the limits anyway, but not all the kids have this opportunity.

Another view is what happens to kids when they cross the age limit. Do they magically know how to use the services safely?

If any age verification is enacted, I'll help my kids myself evade it so that they can learn it in a safe environment.

Parents, choosing button meme Send kids to dark web Talk to children

Oh no I played with a meme generator

Many people mistakenly believe that only children will have to verify their identities online under such laws, but that is false. In order to determine who is a child, all users, no matter who they are, will be forced to turn over vast troves of valuable biometric data and for ever link their offline identity to their online behaviour. The data collected could then be weaponised by the government or bad actors, and put internet users at significantly higher risk of crimes such as identity theft and fraud.

Additionally, only the largest and most powerful tech platforms have the resources to enact age verification at scale, meaning smaller indie social networks and non-profit driven platforms for services such as patient support groups or online communities for addicts and disabled people could be forced to shut down. The loss of these communities, which are a lifeline for people struggling, will be devastating. "Alcoholics Anonymous has gone," one Reddit user posted after the UK's age verification laws went into effect. "As a non tech savvy recovering alcoholic this is a bummer as I used to get some hope and support from the subs."

Who is verifying if you should have access to this particular content?

«Age verification is a massive gift to big tech. Persona, the leading third-party identity verification platform, recently announced a $2bn valuation after its latest funding round co-led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund.»

I'm lost for words. All I can say is that if you're okay with this level of bigotry, you need to unfollow me.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

The public has supported raising taxes on the ultrarich and corporations for years, but policymakers have failed to act.

→ Raising taxes on the rich makes good economic and political sense.

EPI’s latest report from @joshbivens-econ.bsky.social 1/

Diskuse o dopravě v Praze se nesmyslně vede jen o tom, že auta trčí v zácpách. Místo aby se vedla hlavně o tom, že Praha by byla mnohem lepším místem pro rodiny, děti, turisty, produktivitu práce, tržby obchodů a restaurací, volný čas či zdraví, kdyby v ulicích aut bylo prostě míň.

In Feb., a group led by Erik Prince, founder of the mercenary firm Blackwater, proposed ICE create a “skip tracing team” of contractors to locate immigrants targeted for deportation.

Great piece by @katyaschwenk.bsky.social on how those plans are developing, plus new info in the quoted thread.

Ah great, private military contractors on US soil but call them BOUNTYHUNTERS 💪🏼
