I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
TEXT: But if training hasn’t worked, why does it continue? Why is it always trotted out, alongside new technologies, as the solution? Because training and technologies (body cams, Tasers, so-called less-than-lethal weapons, predictive policing software) are a boondoggle for corporate interests. Training costs money, which increases police budgets, which are paid for through taxes and bonds—a hidden source of revenue for financial institutions that administer the bonds. The money for training flows to private companies, usually run by former police chiefs and so-called criminal justice experts—not community organizations that have been fighting for accountability. Sometimes the investment in new technologies and training come from corporate-funded private police foundations, whose donations enable departments to purchase equipment, such as surveillance technology, guns, ballistic helmets, cameras, and drones, and assist officers with bonuses or legal fees, with no oversight or public input. But corporations like Amazon and Google get a great return on their investment since law enforcement agencies adopt technologies of surveillance, data mining and management, etc., coming from these companies.

At least the phrase AI slop is secure in its meaning since it can’t be used on something that isn’t ai
I came across this promo I made for my shop in 2023 incorporating then-new niche “AI video,” reveling in its comically offputting garbage outputs while it was already being hyped as “tHe fUtUrE oF hOlLyWoOd,” but actually this was the aesthetic peak of the tech, it should have stopped right here.
I just found out I might not be able to vend at the holiday markets I was planning on because there was a glitch with my application and I've been too overwhelmed with other stuff to realize I hadn't heard back from them. I feel very stupid about this but anyway my online store is more crucial now

Alright I am two-thirds done with the illustrations for my 2026 David Lynch tribute calendar! I will hopefully remain on track and be able to send to print in early November.
FYI pre-orders really help me gauge how many to print, and cover up-front costs!

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

If the height of your ambition for regime change is to escape fascism yourself while abandoning trans people to its continuation in the shadows, fuck you.
Fucking Ruthless Gordon over here
Wow then it turned out to be a real marriage after all
She’s actually a con artisr and being a projectionist is her cover story, this is the premise of the pilot for the new series I’m pitching entitled Alex Kittle: Movie Detective.
Would rather not reboot murder she wrote at all, but if they’re going to I do think the series requires a lead who doesn’t have such a threatening aura. (Kathy Bates would have been good if she wasn’t already doing Matlock.)

Though civilians are only watching and sometimes yelling, ICE shoots tear gas at them and a passing car. They fire right at a woman. She had not done anything to threaten them.
