Some of this were warning quite loudly about this back in April

The harsh crackdown on campus Gaza protests would be a template for a Trump 47 to clamp down on all sorts of dissent. Now, a nightmare scenario is on the brink of happening

"confirmation porn"?! that's a keeper

I'm gonna be the annoying one here but I don't see how a poster in r/analytics didn't internally cross-check business numbers being delivered by an agent for over a quarter. Yes some people are all in on AI. But this feels like confirmation porn for people who hate AI.

KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

Marimar Martinez and her attorneys have begun today's press conference about the evidence in her case and a pending lawsuit.

Her attorney, Chris Parente, starts by telling reporters that "this is a time when we just cannot trust the words of our federal officials."

late to this, but apparently "walkability" is a top amenity now. I'm wondering if there's better research on this.

A new NAR survey shows consumers’ preferences for neighborhood amenities. Use the findings to promote relevant items in your property marketing.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home!

They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

message from MN
From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here. From a Comrade 19h.

did you know that Canda isn't certifying the Gulfstreams because of a de-ICEing issue?

I guess they don't trust the US to get rid of ICE fast enough
