Other New Bedford ICE detentions: "ICE agents entered the house without a warrant on March 21, using a battering ram and wearing military-style fatigues. The agents pointed their weapons at the children’s faces as they were eating breakfast before school."

The Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre threw open the doors to the most radical climate denialists & has adopted the view that steps forward net-zero are "radical". The Conservatives are basically sock puppets for the fossil fuel industry www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Canada should offer Mahmoud Khalil and his wife asylum as politically persecuted people.

This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so

When the head of ICE starts talking about how great it would be to have Amazon Prime for shipping human beings to a concentration camp in El Salvador that no one ever leaves, you’ve gone way past “it could never happen here.”

if 1000s of people don't end up in prison when/if this is over then what's even the point anymore

WHO IS THIS DOIN' THIS SYNTHETIC TYPE OF ALPHA-BETA PSYCHEDELIC FUNKIN'

What is more morally urgent that stopping the slaughter of men women and children being bombed and starved to death in an open air prison with no where to escape? Funded totally by us tax payers ? It doesn’t make the first 25 hour morality list? expect human beings to swallow this garbage ?

When are the people who said nothing while student protestors were attacked for their free speech last year going to admit they made a catastrophic mistake? That would actually be useful. Weaken their rhetorical tools. Admit you made a huge fucking mistake

get the FUCK out of my hometown you absolute GHOUL

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

the new tron movie looks great because the one thing no one liked about tron is the imaginative world it was set in. finally that's gone

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days.

elon musk did a whole-ass felony in public just to take a huge public and personal L haha eat shit bozo

as students are being thrown into vans and deported for school paper op eds I can’t help but think about the years many of the most well compensated and secure intellectuals in the US had the courage to sign so many letters about the dangerous climate of left wing censoriousness

The thing about watching a JD Vance speech is that everyone knows he’s a little pig man. Everyone knows he exists to squeal for Trump‘s amusement. No one respects him and he clearly doesn’t respect himself.

I can't get the images of the recent kidnappings of peaceful protesters by ICE out of my head, and you shouldn't be able to either.

War plans were never leaked to the media when 'DEI hires' were in charge at the Pentagon.

tempered lala barina, baby, don't you know that i love you

the hudson bay store in vancouver has felt quite dismal for _at least_ ten years, but i'll always bear some nostalgia for going to the big department stores with my parents, as a kid

Trump's DOJ Lawyers: WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE DEPORTATION! NATIONAL SECURITY! DIPLOMATIC CONSIDERATIONS! Trump's social media feed: LOL LOOK AT US DEPORTING THESE PEOPLE ON THIS VIDEO WE MADE!!!!!

i thought for many years the line was "i've got thimbles on my toes, and this is how it goes" and honestly my version is better, sorry q-tip

they're deporting a palestinian who says antisemitism is wrong and the fate and freedom of palestinians and jews are bound together while nazis prance around the white house eliminating civil rights protections and declaring who is and is not a real jew while our rightist communal leaders clap along

this keeps replaying in my head bc it's literally this easy to support trans people. the majority of these freaks have never actually experienced pushback and will straight up collapse when confronted. cis people get your heads right. this is your job
