I use Twitter still and even I kind of hope this happens
The UK, Canada & Australia are reportedly in talks about potentially banning Twitter/X over Grok’s AI image generation, per The Telegraph.
Ministers believe a joint move would send a “powerful message” to Elon Musk.

Great question. We track ICE agents in real time, we show up en masse when they try to kidnap our neighbors, and we blow whistles and honk horns and bully them until they flee with their coward tails between their legs. We do this many times a day, every day. Thank you for asking
Look, I'm all for ensuring ICE doesn't continue with their nefarious activities.
But how do you actually "run them off"?
Serious question.

I say this as an artist; in general, making art isn't a revolutionary act by itself.
You have to actually get directly involved in political organizations.
They need everything from front-line activists to data entry.
If you want to be a part of something heroic, that's your best shot.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

Large numbers of people were convinced that marching with placards was the only way to work for change.
Which was either a fatal internal mistake on the part of activism, or a genius psyop

Read about how a hacker knocked out a white supremacist site at a conference recently. We need to see more disruption of these fascist echo chambers especially on the larger sites like twitter. Legality be damned we are dealing with the worst right now and their microphones needs to be silenced.

thinking about the last grasps of people still going on about how abolish ICE isn't realistic or a bad slogan and picturing these guys in the 50s going "well we obviously just can't get RID of HUAC and it's bad messaging to say that's what you want"

What did the voters think would happen, in this case?
“Among the presidents to serve two terms since World War II, only Richard Nixon had a lower approval (29 per cent) at the end of his fifth year in office…”

These ICE losers think they are so hard. Its embarrassing.
Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

What is the proposed optimum (there is no easy) path for a world without a Zionist state or Hamas in Israel/Palestine, proposed by protestors?
Would it be a new state in the region without the ethnic or religious laws, dissolving both the old political bodies?
Two states?

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.
But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.
They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

Why is Zionism popular among Capital L Liberals?
Its just ethnonationalism, so how did they come to find that one form of it defensible?

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.
