Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Can someone please ask @AGPamBondi if ICE is now staffed by extremists organizations like Proud Boys, 3%ers, and the former Identity Evropa & League of the South. What about those who participated in the January 6th insurrection?

Many people are saying this is true.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

donald trump is the Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Benito Mussolini of our times. All rolled into one deranged, demented, and insane steamroller of democracy and freedom. In his own words, we all need to fight like hell to stop him and save ourselves from his reign of tyranny #USDemocracy

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”
Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline
People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.

I am sad to announce that WordTech is closing. This means that the rights to my collections Settling for Beauty and Labor Day at Venice Beach have reverted to me. I welcome suggestions on how to proceed. #poetry #poetrycommunity #BookSky

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

This country has yet to address several problems with the culture of policing. These include, but are not limited to, the following: i) inadequate vetting and training, ii) infiltration by white supremacist/nationalist groups, and iii) behavioral problems resulting from steroid use.

once me and some friends were wasted at perkins on halloween and saw an old man angrily approach a couple doing a zombie hitler and eva braun costume to say “Adolf wasn’t smiling when I pulled the trigger in Berlin” which, aside from being a cool thing to say, has also always made me kind of wonder

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
