The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Musk’s fossil data centres are undoing Tesla’s climate benefit I know you already know the data centres built to power the generative AI software running on X are intensely harmful and wildly polluting, often in breach of rules and regulations.Β You may not kno…

It's a simple way of putting it, but I hope the fact that one group of data centres powering one shitty, evil chatbot for one crappy little social media site undoing most or all of Tesla's entire global climate benefits puts in perspective how WILDLY bloated genAI is as software

Two new #JWST images of the Cranium Nebula, one in the near-infrared (left) and one in the mid-infrared (right).

The Cranium Nebula (or PMR 1) is 5,000 lightyears away. JWST's imaging capabilities reveal the intricate structure of shells of material being ejected from a dying star.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

When I read a proposal that starts this way, it takes an enormous amount of self control to keep reading and not put it in the triage pile

There’s a whole thread of these β€” letters from detained children who are scared and suffering.

It is a matter of moral urgency to abolish ICE.

Meme based on a scene from the 1993 movie β€œGroundhog Day” where Bill Murray as Phil Connors, is reporting from a Time Loop Gobbler’s Knob on Groundhog Day, February 2. But instead of Phil saying β€œWell, it’s Groundhog Day… again,” the meme reads β€œWell it’s another shitty day in America again”

@schumer.senate.gov is going to be written down in the history books as a complicit player in assisting and enabling the fascist regime’s mass terrorism, torture, and murder of the American people and everyone who lives here - legally or not.

β€ͺYet again, USA:

Require that Congress do its job, end all of this, remove Homan and Miller, #ImpeachNoem, #CloseTheCamps, and #AbolishICE & the Border Patrol.

Instead of whatever this is.

This is the way, make β€œok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
