The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

This is what the death of expertise looks like; the people in charge hear a number, run with it, interpret it wrong, and then issue orders demanding that no one correct them.

One way to view the last 20 years of centrist midwit both-sides’ism is that it is a form of cognitive self censorship. By constantly farming for false equivalencies, an entire generation of thinkers, writers neutered themselves to fascism. They ontologically lack the capacity for critical thought.

Look...if Joe Rogan can look at what ICE is doing and point it out as being monstruous, you have to really, REALLY be a monster if you still are supporting this.

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship. Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

I'm going to restrict myself to one (two part) comment, which is: 1) the entire range runs from execs making 290x what their workers make to execs making 350x what their workers make, and 2) this should frame everything else such execs encourage you to be mad about

For many years, ICE has focused its attention on people with some kind of interaction with the law enforcement system (statistically a low-level offense). Being fingerprinted gets people on ICE’s radar. Detaining people with clean records was a fairly low priority. Under Trump, that’s changed.

At yesterday's protests in Atlanta, police arrested the respected journalist Mario Guevara—clearly ID'd as press and, crucially, known for tirelessly documenting ICE abuses—for livestreaming their crackdown. He was booked on charges of "obstruction" and "pedestrian walking on or along" a roadway.

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

When you think about whaling, you’re probably thinking about 1800s Moby Dick era stuff. But guess when we stopped using whale oil in cars?? 1972. We were using sperm whale oil in transmission fluid until 197freaking2. The NYT even ran an article about how bad the ban was for people’s transmissions🧪🦑

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

If they actually had a judicial warrant signed by a real judge, they would be showing everyone the judicial warrant signed by a judge. Trust me, when law enforcement has a warrant, they don't keep it a secret.
