One thing that does give me a little joy is knowing that eventually US history books will probably have chapters about this and will include pictures of frogs and other animals dancing in front of ICE agents for protests. Imagine statues of that being put up in parks and city centers.

Sam Altman is probably like “gee, mr president, the White House is in the top 1% of our user base. It’s almost like everything someone says has been typed into program” and then Stephen Miller shouting into his cell phone “take the shot! He’s going to ruin everything! Take him out!”

See previous post, they’re going to do this for everything. A cop gets a “hunch” or has a grudge? They’ll pull up everything about you down to the minor details.

There is a ton of shit to be scared of right now and this is one of the biggest. This is going to grow exponentially as time goes on under both R and D admins. All your data won’t be private anymore and will be used against you in every circumstance.

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

Sometimes the government makes brief investigative stops…. that can last anywhere from 12 to 54 days… and possibly the detained may have to drink water while lapping at it like a dog… all completely normal tools for a regular democracy to employ while purging… oops I meant protecting its borders…

It’s hard to pick my least favorite Supreme Court justice but Kavanaugh is in a six way tie for it

Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social · 6d

Kavanaugh said citizens who are Latino have “no good basis” to think they’ll be racially profiled & “certainly no good basis” to think an unlawful stop is “imminent"

Leo Venegas, a citizen who is Latino, was racially profiled & wrongfully detained 2x in 3 weeks

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day

Kavanaugh said that immigration agents “promptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.
