I’m going to use some rather triggering terms in the below post.

It’s a sneak peek into the culty, gleeful white supremacist ways of thinking.

I’d grown up seeing the inside of their echo chambers because they’d preyed on my family and tried to make me a Neo-Nazi from a young age.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

BREAKING: A federal judge dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit aimed at forcing California to turn over sensitive personal data of the state's voters.

This is good news. Voters should never have to choose between our privacy and our right to participate in our democracy.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

The woman who lost her eye in the same manner from the protests in Portland - I think she died later from that injury. It f’ed her body up.
May this young man live long and may he see justice.

You have to admit he knew exactly how to attack us. He skillfully exploited the cracks in the foundation of this country by using the treasonous losers of the last Civil War and their racism to bring us to the doorstep of the American Civil War 2.0! And they think they will win this time around!

This! I also don't care if they came here legally. EVERYTHING ICE IS DOING TO ANYONE IS UNLAWFUL AND ABHORRENT.
I DO NOT CARE IF THE PERSON ICE IS BRUTALIZING IS A U.S. CITIZEN OR NOT AND EVERY TIME YOU MAKE THE DISTINCTION IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE FINE WITH THEM BRUTALIZING IMMIGRANTS

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Amongst the many reasons I miss Prince is that, though he was mercurial and flawed in many ways, I have no doubt he would have been fearless and crystal clear in standing up for Minneapolis and its people.

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).
New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

Molly's being characteristically thoughtful. I'll be more of an asshole: THE AI COMPANIES HAVE USED WIKIPEDIA'S SHIT FOR YEARS. It costs millions of fucking dollars in infrastructure to serve up content to these companies. Should Wikipedia subsidize them? No? Then it's *good* they're getting paid!
I think people are erroneously interpreting the headline to mean that the Wikimedia Foundation is embracing AI for purposes like generating encyclopedia content, or are providing AI companies with more training data than they were already scraping.
