TURNS OUT IF U USE ALL YOUR BOMBS BOMBING CHILDREN THAT THERE ARE FEWER BOMBS TO USE TO BOMB SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CHILDREN

In case Gaza and now the Iranian school didn’t make it clear, militaries using AI to pick targets and execute strikes is just going to result in escalating tragedy and atrocities that leaders can shrug off and blame on the technology, making war crimes “acceptable” and part of the strategy of war.

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

In fact most of the proposals I see tossed around appear designed to make immigration arrests more seamless and less upsetting, rather than actually reduce the number of people arrested and sent to jail.

Other than when it was imposed by outside military force, there's not a single case of fascists taking power without the collaboration/complicity of centrists and liberals. Including now.

If radicals pointing out this reality upsets you, go do something about it rather than yelling at trans women.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

If we win, and I believe we will, we will look back on this duopolistic system and see it for the sham it has always been, a performance benefiting the wealthy to all of our detriment.

There’s no reforming this like there’s no reforming ICE. We have to burn it down and rebuild.

Body cams won't stop this.

We want abolition. They want surveillance.

PS these other reforms are garbage, too.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

DHS: Today, Border Patrol agents who were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area as part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks. At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving, creating unsafe conditions. At one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents. At their final gas station stop, someone spit on an agent. When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowed tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them. To safely clear the area agents had to use crowd control measures to disperse the hostile crowd. 4:47PM • 1/21/26 • 1.3K Views

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

The police are the guarantors of private property. Abolishing the police is the project of abolishing the intentional destruction and immiseration of the globe. It all becomes reform and training and perfecting the institutions of violence without this part

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." —MLK Jr.

a lot of D pols just really like cops, in every form. they want more cops, they want more ICE.

they don't want occupation of blue cities, but they keep quibbling about technical issues (not enough training! body cams!) because they *do not want* to reduce ICE funding.

Text from sister-in-law sharing what her daughter just said: "I've heard that if you stare at a lighthouse for 5 minutes it can burn your enema"

@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social might be interested to know my 8-year old niece’s most recent utterance:

I'm genuinely waiting for the good faith response as to why abolish ICE is not a plan. It's been around for 20 years. They just effectively abolished USAID which had been around 3 times as long.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

The Gilded Age didn’t end because rich people were sick of it

One thing today has shown is that ordinary people who are politically active protesting their Govt, they are far braver than any of the career politicians running the Govt.

And frankly without such brave people, we would not even have the limited rights that we do have.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Really alarmed when I ran across this and thought, “wait, I don’t remember posting this!”

I think if you oppose war with Venezuela (correct) you should open with that. Illegal and unconstitutional can follow. But the cause is monstrous and legality could never justify it.

a very important superpower you can develop is learning to enjoy having a bad time, it's cool and fun to do shit that sucks

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.
