ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”
Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
I keep forgetting Jared Leto exists.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow
it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

To whoever bought my book last month:
Thank you. I woke up this morning sincerely considering quitting writing. I can keep going now, thanks to you. You have no idea what your support means to me.
Sincerely,
A Struggling Author

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.
Update on where I’m at with Spider’s Web. I’m chugging along and will get there. Hopefully it’ll be released in Feb or March!

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again).
I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”
Well, this is disgusting lmao
I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer
People will say anything on here. “We used to be a proper country,” no we didn’t. That’s not true.
Claim: Mamdani is a communist. False: Any real communist will happily spend six hours explaining why this isn’t true.

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.
Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91
I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email
In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
Honestly horizon zero dawn is a solid game
One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
