get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

Discord lied.

they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company.

“facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

so funny this immediately happens when software companies can’t pretend that ai was anything more than money moving between 10 different companies over and over and doesn’t lead to any real growth

The dog is a tan lab mix. Answers to BO

The car is a very dark/black range rover looking thing with black rims.

Idk what part of town

Hey if there's anyone in #Memphis keeping an eye on the feds or just had the feds do some crap in your neighborhood. They just detained someone who was living in their car who had a DOG that is missing.

Check any recently raided cars for pets please and reply here if you know more.

If you actually read this far. I'm either sorry for making you read all this.

Or I'm not sorry because you're kinda the problem and need to stop doing that. Immediately.

That's all! Have a lovely Wednesday!

There is a third option, and Liberals are gonna be mad at me about it:

3- Make things so good for the voters that they are SO pleased with your term in office that they want more of you. Pass good policy. Make lives measurably better. Get stuff DONE. And be humble about doing so.

If you want to win elections, you need one of two things.

1- A problem to solve, and a plan to solve it.
2- An individual person who makes people want to show up for that person. Whether by charisma, intelligence or renown.

What's the plan? Who's the person? What CONTINGENCIES if we lose 2026?

I just want to point out @wilwheaton.net that those 'far left' Leftists and tankies are currently the ones giving ICE the hardest time and saving the most lives on the ground right now.

Do you want them to stop doing that?

"Just go home" like the republicans say now?

Then keep patronizing em.

WE ALL VOTED FOR KAMALA.

We all voted for Biden, We all voted for Hillary.

The discrepancy in voting numbers between 2020 and 2024 is not PROGRESSIVES or LEFTISTS it's normies!

People who ONLY voted for joe to get trump out, and didn't get anything out of those 4 years. So they stayed home.

And if you're like "wow every time I see this guy he's complaining about being called out by liberals"

I voted for Kamala. Everyone I know personally voted for kamala.

And this is the first time I've had to give this speech in over half a year.

And if you ARE out there doing something?

Or on here saying something to get people ON TRACK?

Then I'm not talking about you.

I'm talking about mostly CELEBRITIES and pundits out here saying 'this is your fault' to the people who are OUT THERE. Right now. Helping THEM and their families.

But if you want to write angry letters or call your congressperson or wear some symbolic beanie instead of actually doing something to either protect people or slow Trump down?

You go right ahead and be cucked then.

Why is it when TRUMP does something bad, Bluesky devolves into this mess of who to blame and starts getting mad at Leftists and Progressives for potentially not voting in 2024?

93,000,000 eligible adults did not vote in 2024.

That's a lot of Leftists. Might want to see about getting their votes

Six. Months. Ago.

Another angle of the ICE murder shows agents brutally shoving two women who were also acting as peaceful observers before homing in on, tackling and then gunning down Alex Pretti at close range.

So as soon as they run out of excuses they'll have to make a call.

You either admit you fucked up and start trying to fix it. Or you go down with the ship defending it.

How many of those 93 million non-voters do you think will go down with the Trump ship? Be honest w yourself.

You do realize that normies exist, right?

People who don't care or actively try to avoid politics until the MOMENT politics comes to them?

They went through Trump 1 and thought 'nothing really bad happened' and either didn't vote or voted trump thinking nothing bad would happen.

Turns out...

Sure possibly.

Or they saw decade after decade of lethargic politics and didn't think the winner actually mattered... until it did.

And now they kinda know better, but you're still guilt tripping them constantly.

If this was the 10th time I've seen Wheaton say this, I wouldn't be here.

Yeaaaaaaaah I assume you know what's happening with the democrats in congress right now regarding ICE. 😬

So the real question is about the 93,000,000 that didn't vote that everyone keeps bashing.

Do you want them to vote for YOU or for the other guy?

Then STOP PATRONIZING THEM and put the blame where it belongs. The 77,000,000 idiots who didn't know, or approve of this.

The ones making excuses.

I've spent the last 14 months watching people who call themselves Democrats getting mad at other democrats for 'helping trump.'

77,000,000 people voted for trump
93,000,000 eligible adults didn't vote.

Look to your left, look to your right. One voted Trump and the other didn't vote.

Do we hide? Do we leave? Do we start talking about self and community defense? do we play nice and hope it all stops in 3 years?

Idc who you blame. But what do we DO?

Yeah that's great, but what do we do about it?

Be mad at whoever you want, but this is the reality we live in now. How do we handle that? What's the plan? File more paperwork in the courts?

Do we live in a Star Wars prequel or real life?

Your cops are literally going to help ICE as we speak.

Talk is cheap. Do something.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:

1) They were beating a struggling man with batons

2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back

3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away

4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back
