the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

A cop shot a person three times point blank and instead of the streets being deserted. They filled with people yelling at the cops [who could have shot them too].

you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

at this point as a woman on the internet I’m about ready to delete all pictures of myself from social media

well this systematic exclusion of women from public life and dignity is no match for all that prompt engineering we are now required to teach students

“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

even as the world is completely falling to pieces im still able to worry everyone’s mad at me which really shows the resilience of the neurotic human spirit

Every new technology, like TV or video games, has been met with “what is this doing to our children’s brains” and yet this discourse has been borderline nonexistent in mainstream culture for AI.

Alright, time to start exploring Bluesky as a place for my art/ceramics. A few pieces from recent wood-soda firings 🧶
