Our unofficial crowdsourced estimate of yesterday’s protest turnout is rising to 4.2-7 million as we gather more data. At this point potentially the second-largest single day of protest in U.S. history! www.gelliottmorris.com/p/no-kings-d...

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

L.A. TACO has confirmed with Brian Gavidia who filmed this troubling footage, that federal agents abducted his U.S.-born Mexican American friend, Javier Ramirez yesterday at 4 PM in Montebello. ~ @theglutster.bsky.social

Regular Gestapo activity.

time for my new favorite tumblr post

Shut down the Senate.

DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him don’t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.

The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

New blog post on ACRLog, "AI Refusal in Libraries: A Starter Guide." Got a lot of comments during a recent presentation that people hadn't heard of the concept of AI refusal, so here's some places to start. 📚 acrlog.org/2025/06/11/a...

Ironic that if Wikipedia goes to AI slop, all the AI search engine features are gonna collapse since they mostly just scrape Wikipedia editor written text.

Thinking about this passage from @mskellymhayes.bsky.social and @prisonculture.bsky.social ‘s Let This Radicalize You every time I see an insufferable “and you’re surprised???” post

I joined Twitter to follow this account about nine years ago. This is disturbing.

This is very concerning. Huerta’s “crime” was essentially protesting an ICE raid. They say he obstructed federal agents. Prosecuting him is anti-union, anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, and anti-democracy.

The discourse about how to protest right is a distraction from what the protests are actually about: SECURITY FORCES CAME IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK 2000 PEOPLE AWAY Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Lil Wayne was the prodigy of a generation, the envy of all for the dexterity of his flow...sure grandma, let's get you to bed.

this is what the people of la are saying "no" to. this is what we're in the streets about.

fascism is here already. fuck ICE fuck nazis!!!

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

I did not finish filling out the logo survey. Two pages in I rolled my eyes so hard they got stuck.

And that it was itself a reflection of the authoritarianism already present in the United States at the time. That's what's so vexing, the multiple attempts to raise the point re EXISTING US authoritarianism over decades with people accusing ppl of hyperbole.

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

If you’re worried about the impact of individual eating habits, just wait until you hear about the ecological impact of militaries insideclimatenews.org/news/1801202...

BREAKING: The Florida higher education system Board of Governors rejects the hiring of Santa Ono as University of Florida president. Vote was 6 yes, 10 no.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

i've never gotten into short form video or chatgpt and im so hyped to eventually be one of the last remaining people with attention span and analytical skills, i think it's really going to increase my value to enterprising warlords during the water wars

You know what, I'm actually thrilled to see that 8% number. We *shouldn't* support or approve of using "AI tools like ChatGPT in research." www.technologyfromsage.com/whitepapers (Librarian Futures Part IV)

How many "Floridians deserve to die during hurricanes" people am I gonna have to block today wtf
