A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥

The Government wants to remove jury trials so it can declare everyone who protests against it GUILTY.

Without a jury being able to tell them no.

That is the ONLY reason for getting rid of Jury Trials.

I'm impressed and terrified with myself in equal measure.

It certainly turns out my phone screen is way better at colour rendering than expected!

What's My JND? I got a ∆E of 0.00013

Even my Southern mother says it's now okay to wish for him to die, guys, it's cool

some of you may die written on a poster with shrek and two knights Alt: GIF from the Shrek movie of Lord Farquaad saying "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

Fascists and imperialists see their people as an expendable resource.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

These red states are doing nothing more than sanctioning the murder of women.

We must stop this.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Despite the regime's claims, Minnesota is not out of control. Just under pressure from federal escalation.
Local leadership is functioning. Courts are open, police respond to emergencies. Any instability is ONLY due to outsized federal surge, not the city or residents.

We did a ride along. Not with law enforcement. But with the Minneapolis residents defending their communities from those very officers.

@premthakker.bsky.social's front-row seat at ICE's psychological warzone in Minnesota — and how residents are banding together against it:

A burden shared and all that. Reach out if you need to. So many of us are suffering but it doesn't have to be alone.

Friends,

We are devastated, we are grieving, and we are very VERY upset!

Treasure the anger in all of it. The anger is what will bring the change. And we are at the threshold of it, I feel. Because this 👇🏼 was pushing us too far! We will not let ICE destroy all that's dear!
