Comrade Card for 6/10/2024.

There is zero ZEROOO doubt in my mind that AI cults are going to be huge. I don't mean, like, "I LOVE AI SAM ALTMAN IS SENPAI" I mean like, "I have used AI to tap into the deep secrets of the ancient, forgotten texts that tell the future and it tells me that /you/ have been /chosen/...to follow me."

Mercy once calculated that I would need to drive two million miles to emit as much carbon as is emitted by an hour in an F-35 and I think about that every day now. Ending imperialism is literally how we save the planet. The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

Controversies have prompted at least a half-dozen cities to cancel their contracts or end their relationships with “The First 48.” Here’s why Dallas, Memphis and Mobile have stopped working with the long-running cop reality show.

My values have sharpened or improved by hearing from marginalized people not via debate with people who share little of my core principles.

and there's an interesting corollary here that we ignore, I think, at our peril. the world lacks collective will, it can't try to roll me. only something with a Self can do that. so we have to ask, when somebody once told me this, what were their motivations, where did their assumptions come from

Cooking at Home is a ploy by Big Kitchen Mess to sell more Kitchen Mess

Feeling like I can't fail, tempered by the knowing of how dangerous that can make people. Is this being middle aged? Lol

It’s been 5 years since the murder of George Floyd. In the years since, more Americans have questioned the role & practices of police in society. What does the state of policing look like now? 🧵

New article based on data from my organization Mapping Police Violence shows police killings have surged in Red states. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

One of the really depressing things about AI will be rapidly discovering that what we've really wanted all along is endless videos of Hot Person + Social Transgression It'll be nothing but "Do you think my giant-titted girlfriend should yelling at the barista? Respond in comments"

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

he has demands and they will be fulfilled immediately

So the Real ID is meaningless if you’re brown?

Please read. We hoped that one of the many members of the Bluesky community from Gaza could be first to share this letter, but we were worried that their account would get taken down if they did. This letter is for @moderation.bsky.app, Bluesky leadership, and the wider community here. Thanks!

The GOP budget: brought to you by the phrase “stop hitting yourself.”

The FBI just visited me for publishing the Elias Rodriguez manifesto. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-visits...

Yes, as reported by Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, in nine states (Indiana is one of them) a person’s advance directive is invalidated once they become pregnant, essentially forcing the situation Adriana Smith and her family currently face in Georgia.

Reminder this shut the fuck up Friday: "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT" is the only thing you should say to law enforcement besides asking if you're being detained and providing ID in a stop and ID state. Seriously.

Posted this afternoon. Masked ICE agents arresting immigrants at their court hearings in Dallas.

all it takes is one entire plane full of people deliberately pissing themselves to end this forever

Unless you are under 15 years old, you have LIVED through one of the most sustained periods of mass protest in US history. I know that this might not "feel" like it to some of you but you have. And in hindsight a lot of people who did NOT participate will claim they did.

“Take a breath man, it’s not that serious.” Unbelievable statement an ICE agent told a man who collapsed after being handcuffed following his immigration hearing. The overzealous agents had the wrong man & would have kidnapped him had his attorney not insisted in reviewing the arrest warrant.

the 90's didn't exist. we made that shit up and you fell for it.

Truly cannot say this enough... folks need you working on ONE thing. That's really it. ONE THING DILIGENTLY AND CONSISTENTLY.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.
