learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

"ICE has also purchased spyware in recent weeks that enables it to remotely hack into smartphones and extract data, even if the phones are locked or communication is over encrypted apps."

ICE amps up its surveillance powers, targeting immigrants and antifa

Iris scanners, facial recognition apps, phone-hacking software and cellphone location data are among the agency’s recent technological purchases.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2."

Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...

This morning masked ICE agents pulled me out of my car at gun-point, threw me in the back of a van and took me to their facility in Broadview. I had been following the van down Harvard honking my horn and blowing a whistle to alert the community that ICE was in the neighborhood.

Just across from Lincoln elementary school, where my daughter is in second grade, they jumped out of their van with guns drawn and threatened to smash my windows.

They removed me from my car and drove me to Broadview.

They tried to determine if I was an American citizen (I am). After sitting handcuffed in the van for about 30 minutes, they issued me a citation for "impeding" them, claiming I cut them off (which is not true). They then drove me back to my car. While in their van, I could see they were receiving text messages that were part of a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." They also stated they also spoke to someone on their phone saying they were going to meet someone else near where they were dropping me off, and that they were going to proceed to conduct enforcement activities with that person.

Sad that Bae has made it VERY clear that he will not be my potential plus-one to the NBA YoungBoy show tomorrow, assuming ticket prices drop enough that I can justify spending money to see an artist whose music I don't know but whose show I really wanna see cos I love spectacle.

I was out of Israeli prison in five days. They’ve been holding Dr Hussam Abu Safiya for nearly a year without charge, along with thousands more Palestinians. A ceasefire without an end to occupation and accountability for Israel will just be a slower continuation of the genocide

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Except the DJ fucked up and played to original version rather than the remix so the entire crowd was ready to scream "B-O-O-S-I-E" and we just got a Foxx verse that nobody ever cared about, even in south Louisiana. It was the greatest DJ fail I've ever experienced irl.

My favorite Boosie related wedding story is October 2019, the last wedding I attended in the before times, and the photographer caught this moment of me, my best friend and the groom right before Boosie's verse on "Wipe Me Down" dropped

When your friend is DJing a wedding and hops in the group chat to talk about the conflict between the Boosie whites and the Chappelle Roan whites and you have to respond with "I am both whites" cos the other two whites in the chat are neither so represent.

Part of me leans toward you possibly being some astroturf angry neolib, vote blue white lady account, but if you're an actual real human who wants to educate themselves to be a better community member, my book list offer still stands.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 4d

I genuinely can't tell if you're just racist or are also so delusional that you live in a bubble where other white folks who do real life organizing work and education wouldn't find your attacks odious and ignorant and would therefore step in to check your ass.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 4d

I don't think you understand what dogwhistle means, boo. Additionally, white women, including myself, critique white feminism on the regular so please let your pearls go. Feel free to read my response to your op and I'll give you a book list if you wanna learn.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 4d

If you're unwilling to take critical feedback, especially from Black and Brown folks who are far more vulnerable than you and I in this moment, because "pink pussy hats" and "white feminism" make you clutch your pearls and lash out, then you've got a lot of soulsearching and education to do.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 4d

For you to take that critique personally & attack the messenger, who did in fact attend his local protest, shows your unwillingness to interrogate your own shortcomings in this fight. Telling a stranger to go fuck themselves in the face of valid critique is the definition of an intellectual cop out

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 4d

Is it good that people showed up? Yes. Were meaningful connections built that lay the ground for further direct action to follow? Yes. Is there a valid critique in the lack of an overarching framework for sustained action/community building after the protest ends, similar to the women's march? Yes.

Miss Lilly @misslillynola.bsky.social · 4d

This convo all began with a valid critique of a white man being obtuse about how his words were perceived as diminishing the civil rights movement vs no kings as a numbers game rather than a real difference in focused, sustained and INTENTIONAL organizing.
