Fascism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and white supremacy have no place in my artwork or business.
I don't want your business if you are actively supporting this horrible administration. I dont want your business if you have no empathy or compassion. If I lose money, oh well

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

this is useless semantics. ICE and the police are institutions of systemic violence expressly constructed to enforce a social order designed to extract value from a manufactured underclass.
ICE is not law enforcement, they are not police, they are paramilitary. Opposing ICE is not against law enforcement, it is not against police, it is against paramilitary.

sharing a thread i did about electronica stuff:
the lower voltage actually makes it MORE dangerous if anything.
240v requires half the amperage for the same rated power as 120v. So a 1500W space heater needs to draw 12.5A from the wall. most home wiring is only rated for 15A and most powerstrips and extension cables even less!

somebody once said something very poignant about hammers and explosions and cars.
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social.
That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.

AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.

I actually agree that calling ICE the Gestapo is inaccurate, because the Gestapo was far more sophisticated.
ICE is much more like the Sturmabteilung (SA): violent, racist, fat, poorly educated and undisciplined thugs too stupid to do anything other than random street-level terror.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

The Problem isn't that ICE doesn't have training, it's that ICE as an institution is being used as a secret police to round up people that the regime deems undesirable.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
