being to protests and actually learning about civil rights are two separate things. i totally believe you know anything about civil rights. 👍

lmao no one said you should support trump, but the fact that you're willing to use ableist language tells everyone what they need to know about you.

as soon as agism is used against you you clutch your pearls. take that hike yourself, gramps 🖤

it's wrong to pick and choose who you support? what. that's having a moral backbone.

then again, it sounds like you would know. agism and ablism on full display. buddy, the call is coming from inside the house.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

These two things are of a piece, even if the motivations and details differ.

Trump’s justification for his authoritarian crackdown is an America that doesn’t exist.

Lizzie O’Leary quote post of a CNN post that pairs the headline “What is the insurrection act?” with an image of an on fire Winchell’s Donuts from the 92 LA riots.

O’Leary: Lizzie O'Leary @lizzieohreally.bsk... • 57m
This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now

Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways

It matters that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama both ran on progressive ideals that they ultimately turned their backs on

It matters that Biden had things rigged for him, to undercut more progressive candidates

It matters that Obama didn’t reverse the executive branch power grab that GWB started

I don’t really understand the people who think we shouldn’t situate the current moment in context of the last 25 years in American politics, including the actions of the three Democrats who were president during that time

you said you would put your body between us and Trump's goons. you have power and wealth, so try using your resources if you are going to go back on your word.

racism in the trans community is extremely real and extremely dangerous.

unfortunately, a lot of white trans people haven't done the work to be anti-racist and don't notice how they mistreat and dehumanize Black and brown trans women.

you gotta put the work in. bring POC into your social circles.

Look through the average starter pack of trans people on here and most of the time it'll be like 80 to 90% white, if not higher tbh.

So we get a knd of space where no one learns how to combat racism against trans POC because white people never talk about it, and POC aren't given the platform to.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 3d

Have you ever noticed how absurdly white spaces like trans Bluesky are? I have. You should be able to notice things like this without trying if you have done the work to be anti racist.

It doesn't mean people are malicious, but it shows that systemic bias is pernicious, and does not spare us

I completely echo the reminder to treat all rumors with caution. In a situation like this, unless you are physically on the ground doing investigations yourself, the most important thing to do for information hygiene is to wait.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 4d

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation

According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

Which is what Black people have been saying about law enforcement for centuries.

No one listened though. Now here we are.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social · 5d

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Obviously, this is loser shit, but I think AI has really cemented itself as the visual language of fascism. It's anti-human, flattened, uninteresting, and cheap. It's like looking at a Potemkin Village and thinking that's the same as architecture.
