The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

We did this with Tonight We Riot, and folks, lemme tell ya, we got very little blowback.

&dy Ng0 found our game **2 full years** after it was released, complained about it on Twitter, and the only thing it did was make us $9000.

People just need to make the art that conservatives are going to claim that they made anyway

Rolling Stone @rollingstone.com · 19h

Paul Thomas Anderson's celebrated family drama and political thriller is far from the "apologia for radical left-wing terrorism" its conservative critics claim it is.

We immediately split the profits between all workers on the project, and I used a bunch of my cut to aid in bail funds.

Yeehaw!

Interesting to me is even a decade ago something like MAN OF STEEL had at least some raised eyebrows asking if the 9/11 riffing was exploitative. That fans insist here Israel's Genocide is being addressed speaks to an engineered poverty in political imagination.

rise of the machines

Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses.
"C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks.
"oh this, Fred?"
We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain."

The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked."
Fred looks incredulous.

The bird pecks Barney.

Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

They are making everything up. The violence is fantasy.

It’s the government wanting to terrify anyone from protesting. We’re being beaten into submission.
