A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

What a terrible, terrible idea. I have loved the iNaturalist app but won't be using it any more as long as they're doing this. The environmental costs of GenAI are way too high (and that's before you get into the ethical issues!).

This is a meaningless distinction. “Arrest” is from the French “arrêter,” to stop. If they can detain you for however long it takes a cop to show up, that is already functionally an arrest.

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Stunts like this illustrate that the entire goal is to entrench these systems so deeply into government structures that they become almost impossible to remove. ai in this sense might be better understood as an intentionally planted invasive species rather than a technological intervention.

Two facts I recently learned that shook me: there are three rocket/satellite re-entries per day somewhere on Earth, and there are over one hundred million pieces of space debris in low-Earth orbit larger than 1 mm in size. Yeah. This is a problem badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/could-aste... 🔭 🧪

before you complain about me criticizing democrats, keep in mind the gop is kidnapping people off the street and demanding to inspect kids genitals and the opposition party cant be bothered to simply message on those kinds of things

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.

Reinforcing my friend @radiofreetom.bsky.social. We’re required to refused to obey illegal orders. The military is trained on that, starting in basic. It’s also unfair to National Guard and active Marines to even put them in that circumstance against fellow citizens if not a true emergency.

sending 500 marines to a county of nearly 10 million people to stand around holding their dicks with nowhere to sleep is not actually the sign of a successful declaration of martial law

One thing that I haven't seen said in the last 24 hours is that the Democratic Party had an opportunity, as an institution, to help shape, foster, and direct the grassroots popular uprising against Trump II. They made a conscious decision not to.

I do not have the words for how angry this makes me. This guy is single-handedly undoing a centuries of effective public health policy. He will be appointing people who sell supplements.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the president of the United States is goading the residents of LA into a violent confrontation, creating the sort of chaos that would justify a massacre, writes @sashaabramsky.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

hey don't forget to turn off biometric access to your phone and if you did happen to forget, in an emergency, pressing the power button 5 times on your iphone will lock it & it can't be unlocked again without the passcode even if you were silly & left face ID on 🙂

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Horrific reminder of what Israeli MK Zvi Sukkot said last month: "Last night, we killed almost a hundred Gazans.. Nobody cares anymore.. Everyone got used to the idea that you can kill 100 Gazans in one night.. And nobody in the world cares." Our leaders certainly don't care.
