Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Israel is untouched, its power unchallenged, huge swaths of Gaza cleaned out for them to seize, the population devastated for generations, and we worked out a terrific exchange program for the suppression of domestic dissent. From the point of view of these assholes, it's a huge bipartisan win

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

Aren't celebrities supposed to have PR people to keep from embarrassing themselves like this? Even if you have been living under a solid gold rock, why are the people you are paying to stay in touch with pop culture for you not doing their jobs?

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

They are actively trying to poison our information environment and I’m sure will come for this very platform if they haven’t already.

I hope smart people are thinking about new models for online community and media that they can’t infiltrate.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

WHY A WHISTLE? ON THE STREETS
• A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST ALERTS.

RECOGNIZABLE.
IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.
• OUR VOICES ARE
STRONGER TOGETHER.
WHISTLES GUIDE
PEOPLE TO:
• FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS
• CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD
• ALERT NEIGHBORS
TO JOIN IN
NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT

• FASTER THAN SOCIAL MEDIA
