It's wild to watch people like Joe Rogan come to grips that voting for the "mass deportations now" candidate meant voter for a literal war against your non-White neighbors. The entire discussion around the 2024 campaign was so fundamentally unserious it might as well have happened in a fever dream.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

I added captions to this video of people heckling Greg Bovino leaving a Target in Minneapolis, and there's so many people yelling things at him it's like a comedy skit

/3 That process will make it easier for this to happen again. So: what to do? Someone who promoted and both-sidesed Nazis in 1946 would face economic and social annihilation outside of extremists circles. How can we inflict that annihilation on the vapid media of now?

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

as @kenwhite.bsky.social so aptly stated recently, “people in authority who openly defy the rule of law and encourage contempt of it, who openly use it to help their friends and hinder their enemies, are not morally entitled to its protection, in any way.”

Holy shit, DO NOT DO THIS
Folks, please don't do this. Don't post AI-generated "unmasking" photos of the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis.
This is not this man's real face. This is three completely different faces. You're not helping anyone by sharing these. You're just muddying the waters.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
