Some of you are blaming @jay.bsky.team or @bsky.app in general, or claiming that this is being forced by @moderation.bsky.app. That could not be further from the truth. I'm shutting it down of my own volition because some of you can't be trusted to use this information reasonably and responsibly.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Please help Reem and Sakher. They are real and suffering so much. They just want to have a voice in this world that is trying to forget them. We will not let that happen.

It's Reem 🇵🇸🍉 @reeeeeeem.bsky.social · 9h

Sakher’s account was shut down — the only place where he spoke to the world about his pain and his suffering.

That account was his only voice, his way to survive and keep going.

Today, Sakher lost his last connection to the world.💔

Complement with comments, don't skip‼️

I’m going to say it again, generative AI and the push for it to be used in every Avenue of learning and education is because generative AI literally is a weapon for knowledge destruction not a knowledge creation tool and silicon valleys goal is to monetize and gate off all of human knowledge

The more this is explained the worse it appears.

An AI-assisted textbook at UCLA has some academics worried

The UCLA literature professor who developed the textbook says it will save students money and allow her to be the teacher she’s always wanted to be. Others aren’t so sure.

Imagine simping for a bigot literal YEARS before a primary for an election that will hopefully exist. Meanwhile the people he's complaining to are just trying to advocate for the rights this bigot is attempting to thwart.

Get the FUCK out of here.

I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

genuinely impossible to overstate what the secret police are doing. It is state hooliganism. It is gangsterism as policy. It is the jouissance of the original klan nightriders that followed the civil war. they terrorize minority communities while intentionally paralyzing local governments.

ICE ramming a civilian car, then shooting them. They claimed 10 cars surround the agents. Where are they?
Happened in east garfield today

valid

Je suis Link (kaelyn) @kaelynski.bsky.social · 3d

Now, obviously, we share this attribute with Brett. But, unlike Brett, we know that dismantling white supremacy, abolishing ICE, and probably, writing a new constitution will be needed to get us out of this mess.
