Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it. Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu (and an Episcopal priest herself) fully addresses the lie at the heart of the claim of that white South Africans are “refugees.” Amplify her voice. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I don't pretend to understand the minutiae, but on the face of it, this looks appalling. I understand passing a Bill is a long process, but surely we need to send the AI people a message about paying royalties? @robinince.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social @steverichards.bsky.social

The time has come. EVERYONE who follows me, please repost, share and spread this fundraiser to provide legal defense for whistleblowers in America, including my friend Miles Taylor, who Trump has ordered to be investigated for treason, for the “crime” of criticizing him. Please donate if you can. 🧵

Watching this from 🇩🇰 is absolutely surreal. I can’t believe this happened yesterday — in the US. A peaceful woman, attending a town hall, was carried out by police for simply asking: “What is your red line? When will you stand up for the Constitution?” If “Never again” means anything, it means NOW!

Fascinating piece. Not sure how we can use these lessons without appearing to be snake oil sellers ourselves. But we need to counter Farage et al's messaging with more vigour than at present!
