We are not in the "AI era." We are in the "source: trust me, bro" era.

this would be an amazing way for It to happen

I want to quote screenshot this whole excellent piece from Marisa, but this especially - we *make* the words, we don't just regurgitate without the feeling, without the things that makes us human.

The Blazers got swept in the Western Conference Finals in May of 2019, after leading in all 4 games, and then basically the world proceeded to fall apart. Coincidence?

Time for some popularism!

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

@adamsmith.house.gov let’s get on board here plz

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Primary them all.

So who is primarying her?

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Seattle Mayor, police guild spar over ICE protection directives The Seattle Police Officers Guild is refusing to cooperate with a recent directive from Mayor Katie Wilson ordering officers to investigate and document ICE activity in the city.

Any Seattle cop who refuses to defend the people of Seattle against violent federal shock troops should be fired immediately. Full stop.

Start with Mike Solan, the head of the rogue police union.

Unhinged behavior by the feds once again. Abolish ICE is the bare minimum. We need accountability for every last one of these motherfuckers.

Went to the anti-ICE protest with thousands of our fellow community members. Lots of children, elderly and disabled people in the crowd. They tear gassed us within minutes.

Confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.

Live updates: Top Border Patrol official Bovino expected to leave Minneapolis as Trump sends Homan to the state | CNN Tom Homan is headed to Minnesota after the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in an encounter Saturday with federal agents deepened outrage over the Trump administration’s surge, part of its nati...

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.

As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

TEXT: I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal. Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera. It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well. Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

TEXT: I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need. Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity. Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

Defund ICE or shut the government down. This is the moderate position.

We understand. But do YOU understand that America hates ICE and abolition is now the median/moderate position? What’s your long-term plan to dismantle this terrorist organization and bring the violent maniacs who work for it to justice? We want you to lead or get out of the way.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission is what you do when the regime voluntarily cedes power, and as part of the deal, gets immunity from prosecution.

A criminal tribunal is what you do when they cling to power and are unrepentant about their crimes.

The USA needs a criminal tribunal.

Your writings on this changed my life. I have hope is a discipline tattooed on my arm to remind me at times when the darkness makes it easy to forget.
