WOOPS

Reminder that Gen AI is a tool of facism.

They do not care about trans rights, they do not care about empowering disabled people, they do not care about the evolution of humanity or the creative process.

They care about money. End of.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

SENATE IS VOTING TODAY. CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW TO TELL THEM TO VOTE NO !!’

ko-fi.com/janapontemuvo So i'm in need of some help, again. i have a broken tooth that may need to be extracted. Unfortunately, even just going to the doctor costs money. i am still in the process of job hunting and can't cover the checkup cost. Any help would be appreciated.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

TikTok users in the US can’t write ‘Epstein’ or see anti-Trump videos Alleged censorship comes after investors loyal to Trump take over social media platform

The Zionist owning TicToc aren't about to allow free speech on their watch..

It was more free under the Chinese

TikTok blocks Epstein mentions and anti-Trump content as well as ICE criticism

This kid is awesome, actual hero.

They're stealing literal babies. ICE exists only to tear apart families and ruin lives. Donation in the thread.

Two quick reminders:
1) Carry earplugs. Everywhere. They are *so* easy and small and can really help if things get bad.

2) Do you know what works great to deflect sound waves like this? Dish-shaped things. Like.... Garbage can lids. You can just redirect this noise like nobody's business.

Why Houston’s Holocaust Survivors Refuse to Stay Silent Firsthand testimony makes history impossible to ignore.

It's Holocaust Remembrance Day. Not going to go into much detail because the survivors' stories are the most important here, but for the past six months I've been working on this article about Holocaust survivors living in the Houston area for Houstonia.

I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes.

For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:

#BLTlocal5 There’s a tag now, so here’s some stuff I did in the past.

Steven Universe vs. Hitler. Steven appeals to Hitler "what if you could change your mind, Hitler?" Hitler stares at Steven with angry intent. Garnet puts her hand on Steven's shoulder and says "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy Steven." Steven says "Damn."

A wordy update! News of ICE hitting us with a retaliatory audit went kinda viral and we've received a HUGE amount of support. Not only were we extremely busy all weekend, but we also received over $1000 in unsolicited donations.

it is necessary to prove yourself as a real human artist and not a bot these days, treasure that you still have it (while keeping it under wraps)

The only thing that's completely stopping me is the fact we can't have reblogging gif wars.

Please god don't delete your old bad art in the back end of your galleries, it's one of the few certificates of authenticity against AI that we have left 😔
