Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives.

If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2.

Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.
Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Every riot is a police riot.
A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

A reminder that what happened over the weekend was NOT a riot. LA didn't descend into chaos.

The shit that happened Downtown was slightly more than what happens when the Lakers win.

You want to see what a riot looks like, these images are from actual riots we had here in 1992.
What happened in Paramount and Downtown LA was not a riot.

THIS is what an LA riot looks like.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

The word “woke” was vilified through broad messaging by the right. To counter that you need uncomplicated messaging to get through the disinfo. Once you’ve done that you can have nuanced conversations about systemic racism but they need to be accessible by those who don’t have a university degree.

Her full quote: Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.”
It was absolutely a counter to the right wing throwing woke at everything as an insult.
I don't think she actually meant it that way literally, just to counter what they've been saying it means.

Don't do this. Jane Fonda has supported the Black Panthers since 1968. She hosted fundraisers in her home for Angela Davis. She stood with Native American demonstrators at Alcatraz and Fort Lawton. She has done the work. She did it because she empathized with their struggles.
