It is not a coincidence that the Minnesota occupation is “ending” right before the Senate is due to vote on funding for ICE.

The fascists want you to think it’s all over and to disengage, but I hope the strategy backfire as a whole country thinks, “Are they coming here next?”

There's an island were depraved people have flocked to for years.... We could just repurpose it and cut off telecommunications for the world's worst inmates.
Really wondering when people in general are going to wake up to how thoroughly diseased this entire practice is

Just utterly wretched and corrosive in every possible way, the people behind it are moral voids and should be banished to a remote island
Polymarket should be burned to the ground for even offering shit like this

Sadly, they can say the "surge" is over and still conduct their horrific raids because a "surge" means an increased amount of boots on the ground. The boots are already there, and enough of them that they could send agents home and still have enough of them left to terrrorize people.
I am hopeful the surge is over but I I will believe it when kids are back at school, folks can go to work without getting abducted and people don't have to drive around with their passport and green card.

Our cultures are designed to beat up mad people. They're designed so everyone else can batter us. It doesn't make it right & we can work for better.

I know some people say that Fuentes is like this because he is closeted and ashamed of his ethnic heritage. I also believe that he is closeted and ashamed of his ethnic heritage. But please understand that he is like this SOLELY because he is a monster devoid of any moral integrity.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Steroids still in my system after yesterday's radiofrequency ablation, so I'm outlining the medical necessity for a power wheelchair and GLP-1s for my doctor's appointment...in May.

Really good 🧵

Cosigned: someone else whose IQ tested high when I was young, often had it thrown in my face like, "How can you be so stupid when you're so smart?" (Answer: I was an undiagnosed autistic. IQ means nothing.)
Okay gang

We need to talk about IQ. i had my IQ tested when I was very young. It came out wicked high, because I am very good at maths and even better at pattern recognition.

IQ is eugenicist bullshit.

Much like the "ceasefire" in Gaza, they're going to keep doing war crimes against our fellow Americans...just with fewer headlines.

We can't look away. They're still terrorizing people in Los Angeles, Chicago, and elsewhere, too.

Considering the previous "draw down" was purely symbolic, I'm skeptical about what this will functionally mean. That said, for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I pray it's true and that this campaign of terror will soon be over.

Illuminating, heartbreaking read.

As an American, I want the International Court of Justice to prosecute. There are enough bad actors here who feel reasonably assured they will never be held to account.

If we want the American experiment to continue in any recognizable form, we can't allow this.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I have not been doing well since December because stress due to money and having to constantly find solutions to get by and my PTSD (from being raped repeatedly by a DV abuser for years) being active as heck due to being retraumatized by the news about the Epstein files.

I am not okay.

Like the family of James Van Der Beek, who Go Fund Me to help them keep their home after cancer treatments wiped out their finances.
"We cannot afford to overcome. We are too busy doing GoFundMes for the funerals of our friends whose previous GoFundmes failed to cover their health care."

A cursed monkey’s paw attempting to trap would-be wishers with cruel moral lessons has reportedly curled up and died after being thwarted by an autistic man’s many caveats.

One of the things I've always made sure to point out is that when I talk about valid use cases for AI, is that it MUST be regulated. What we have now is mostly awful and unsustainable.

But there ARE smaller devs doing good things, ethical training, safety measures.

If I wasn't actively avoiding sharing photos of myself, I'd be using one of my cute mask selfies for my PFP, too!
It's a concious choice to wear a mask in my pfps. I wanna remind people that we are still in the pandemic and that a LOT of people can still get sick and die from Covid or the new flu strains.

P.S. I'm only awake now because our power went out around 7:30am, and when it came back on, the power surge killed the fan we keep on for white noise.

That, and steroids were injected as part of yesterday's radiofrequency ablation of my thoracic spine.

For years, I only knew a tiny bit about immigration, but I guess my flavor of autism never saw why any of my fellow white people had a problem with it.

As I went down the genealogy rabbit hole, I learned how easy it was for my ancestors to just show up here & make a life.

We should do that again.
What is really hard for me is to listen to privileged white folks bark on about immigration.
please just continue to say nothing and send money to the victims.
but also treat the immigrants that you employ better than you currently do? some white people are blind to Injustice until they can't be.

No one should have to grow up like this.

I know I'm going to sound old saying it, but when I was in school, we had to ask permission in order to turn on our pocket tape recorders if they weren't required by the professor in class.

Recording should be allowed for accessibility, but to ambush kids.
“By comparison to the millennials, Gen Z are far more quiet and reserved because they have a strange fear of being cringe or judged as cringe,” Cohen said. “From both observation and asking them, I know they feel paranoid when they’re answering a question, aware that someone may record them.”
We all need to take a lesson from the treatment of Glassholes.
