What could be more American than an office park torture facility

To be clear, people didn’t just take to the street spontaneously. Organizers got the word out, had the local politicians on speed dial, and had the trucks, speakers, signs, PA, and safety signals ready to go. I’m a neighborhood rando. Those guys rule.

It is becoming more and more apparent with the photo documentation of ICE raids that most people are getting their idea of what a cop, federal law enforcement officer (a type of cop), SWAT team, etc is "supposed to" look like from TV and movies. This will become a thread about why this is wrong.

Photography is as much about time + place as it is about frame and eye. Phenomenal juxtaposition for the spontaneous protests in LA today. ICE detained the president of the largest US union, and an american citizen. People surrounded the detention center in LA. #protestart #indivisible #nokings

Some absolutely amazing reporting from @acatwithnews.bsky.social & co. today in Los Angeles

Someone has developed a DIY drone detection and mapping system and released a $15 circuit board to build your own. Based on our experience with drone-based police surveillance, every autonomous space, social center, and mutual aid hub should have one of these cuties. www.hackster.io/colonelpanic...

Wait this isnt NYT pitchbot? They really published an ethicist column asking if it was moral to make money leasing to an ICE holding facility, and the answer was yes? LMAO laying it on a little thick even for you guys

mr mamdani as mayor of nyc a city that exists in the united states and not the middle east will you suck israel's dick? follow up question, will you also fondle their balls?

Lots of people saying he’s stupid, a few pointing out that he’s a Nazi. It’s both.

Remember that time cops in several different countries spent millions on a bomb-detecting dowsing rod? [1] They haven't gotten smarter at all. [1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651

One thing that is genuinely radicalizing is when you come to understand just what a huge gap there is between the perception that law enforcement enjoys that it is science-y and evidence-based and the reality which is that 9/10s of it is just meathead cop voodoo made-up nonsense.

Why do they think COVID being air borne is fake but fent powder sucking up into our mouth and nostrils is real???

Bari Weiss on MSNBC. 🤮

This is the best summary I’ve read of the impacts of AI data centers on energy consumption. It’s based on research starting from the joules consumed by individual queries. It adds up to a monster. Also, “the carbon intensity of electricity used by data centers was 48% higher than the US average.”

not buzzwords, not left-wing. these words started as academic concepts that Dems never meaningful understood, but expropriated and white washed in 2020 to remain relevant.

Look, there are a lot of valid criticisms to make of the Ivies, but “fuck this administration, we’re making our civics courses free so you can understand WHY fuck this administration” is a baller move. 3 cheers for prosocial spite.

Relative of a family friend got swept up by ICE. The reason? He had a disagreement with his manager. Manager called ICE. ICE picked him up in front of the entire undocumented staff, as a fucking warning.
