If you didn't know, the idea of "Try to victimize someone by pretending to have car trouble, then pounce when someone is nice enough to help you" is featured in a movie.
That movie is Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and it's meant to be disturbing as something a horrible subhuman would do.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

In case you're somehow unaware, this dystopian horror is that rich people who already literally live like royalty want the modern Gestapo to detain and imprison more innocent people for longer periods so that they can further profit off of such misery to needlessly make number go up.
In earnings calls earlier today, investors in GEO Group and CoreCivic criticized ICE. Their chief complaint? ICE's detained population, despite hitting record highs, still isn't large enough.

Yeah, every time, the rich don't leave the city where they have roots and would rather live when taxed an amount that literally doesn't change their lifestyle but helps everyone else.
Other municipalities need to stop letting the rich hold them hostage like some kind of comic book supervillains.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.
The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...
(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)

Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

Every motherfucker in history that has said any version of, "If you're innocent, you have nothing to fear" has invariably proven that the innocent have everything to fear from draconian identity laws and tracking citizens.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

To understand why this is absolutely horrifying:
First, imagine when police/ICE use that feature to find a "suspect" and hunt down anyone the algorithm says "fits the description".
Second, if you still don't get how bad that is, ask any POC in the USA about the history of "you fit the description".

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.
With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

I can remember a time when Rowling's connection to Epstein would have IMMEDIATELY torpedoed every deal she had and sent her straight to radioactive pariah-land. It was barely 10 years ago.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

More Americans need to remember that every time these Klansmen go around "investigating" artists for doing a performance well within the First Amendment rights because it wasn't white enough, YOU are paying for the efforts they take instead of healthcare, infrastructure, etc. with your taxes.
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

I no longer want "free" services in tech. Because every service that starts out "free" invariably devolves into a data gathering operation and constant microtransaction requests.
