New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

He was clearly having a serious emergency, regardless of the cause. They aren't allowed to decide whether someone "deserves" medical treatment just because they don't personally care about users.

Treat your kids using AI like you would treat your kids smoking. Slap it out of their hands and explain nothing is worth the long-term damage.

btw, if you haven't watched Camp Cretaceous and the follow up Chaos Theory, you are really missing out. It's the Clone Wars of the Jurassic Park franchise.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

🧵 tl;dr:

“Good grief!” groaned the ones who had stars at the first.
“We’re still the best Sneetches and they are the worst.
But, now, how in the world will we know,” they all frowned,
“If which kind is what, or the other way round?”

Image from The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss; one snooty sneetch has a star on his belly, the other sad sneetch does not.

"Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches had bellies with stars. The Plain-Belly Sneetches had none upon thars."

Welp, fanfic writers came out of the basement and they're not ashamed anymore. They are authors, same as you, and you are not, you are *not* better than them.

It's a new world, folks. Deal.

They're upset because fanfic authors were supposed to stay in their basements, on their laptops, and be ashamed of their accomplishments. A tradpub author who sold 500 copies of their 1k print run was higher on the totem pole than a fic author with 100k unique readers. That was the deal.
