Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'
Not the hill I'd die on, but I'm not a billionaire.

Two days ago I watched a woman lay a single red rose down in memorial. An ICE goon came over, picked it up and put it in his lapel. Then he used it to flirt with a female goon. They were all laughing. She had been dead less than 24 hours and they were desecrating her memorial and laughing about it.

If you’re worried that “protesters getting out of hand” will give the President a reason to implement martial law in an American city, what do you think is happening now? They’re kidnapping and murdering people and the cops are being sent in to arrest people for noise complaints?

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

really love thinking about how ICE is not only a recent creation and serves no purpose but also every presidency in my lifetime is far more restrictive and punitive on immigration than reagan, of all fucking people, was
Continue to think that saying “abolish ICE” without explaining how you’ll enforce the law is a trap, but boosting this
"YouGov has ICE at 39% favorable, 52% unfavorable...But this top line really understates the intensity of public backlash to ICE and its tactics. In February 2025, just 19% of Americans held a strongly unfavorable view of ICE. Today, 40% do."

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

i think there's also a pretty meaningful difference between a bloodless video that exposes the lie federal agents used to murder someone and, like, watching Charlie Kirk's neck explode
Honestly not sure where I come down on this one.
Usually I say “don’t spread snuff videos, they harm you and everyone around you” and while that is still true in this case how does that harm balance with the moral injury of allowing the regime’s story to take hold?

Broadly agree with "don't post murder videos on the internet" but there are a lot of politically moderate people who are not going to believe that's real as described unless they see the video for themselves

The moderate position here is that every single ICE agent should be tried and put in prison for their many crimes. That's the baseline
