Maybe you're feeling pessimistic and like you can't stop the US govt from invading another county. But you can organize locally to fiight for tenants rights or stop ICE. And that's how we stop fascism. See how it all connects and do our small part to jam up the jaws of imperialism.

"Did the Department of Homeland Security Just Tweet Out a Nazi Dog Whistle?"

It does seem to many, writes @premthakker.bsky.social for Zeteo, like a white supremacist is in control of the social media account of a major US government agency.

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

When I coach a young player and ask them to throw me a pass or show me their layup, I am without knowledge and desperate for their teaching, their examples.
I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

Lander is an eminently qualified candidate who could have seen the failure of his won campaign as a reason to be embittered against Mamdani (as, ahem, others did) but instead is pivoting to united the left-liberal vote and dampen Cuomo’s chances. Profoundly decent, stand up thing to do.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.
NYT Ed Board said last year that they aren’t doing local endorsements anymore, but they couldn’t help themselves from writing a gross roundabout endorsement of Cuomo.

ICE is a child trafficking ring
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee.

“It’s a massive story in terms of the implications of where this may be going,” Jack Blanchard says on #playbookpod, “Everyone knows RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines.”

It’s not yet known whether Waymo vehicles were deliberately targeted. This year the LAPD revealed it had obtained footage from a Waymo driverless car as part of an investigation, indicating that they are being used as potential sources of surveillance footage. Waymo has been contacted for comment.

For the past two years some of the largest voices on Twitter, including some elected Republicans, have been playing a fun game called "post a photo of any trans person minding their own business and see how quickly we can ruin their entire life"
It is genuinely unsafe for average people to use Twitter and speak freely. It appears to be this administration's primary intelligence gathering operation.
this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration
