“The fear and the justified state of terror and hysteria that folks have been put in nationally under this administration is what folks have been living under in Frederick for years,” says an advocate with the ACLU of Maryland.

 “We're Afraid on a Daily Basis”: How a Maryland Sheriff Targeted Immigrants Long Before ICE Raids Spiked - Bolts
Frederick County’s sheriff turned his office into a force multiplier for ICE before such collaboration became commonplace. As he again faces voters this year, the harm to immigrant communities is impossible to ignore.

Big deal: “[T]he prosecution alleges that misanthropy—the hatred of humankind—‘is the ideological cause for the terrorist acts'. It means that the CPS has been able to charge the teenager with preparation of terrorist acts.”

Teen first person to face terror charges because he 'hates everyone'
It comes amid concerns that young people preparing mass casualty attacks are escaping with relatively minor charges because they are not considered to have an ideology.

‘Leftists’ need to realize disabled people have a vital place in global liberation. If there’s anyone who knows how to survive on the bare minimum, build robust networks of care, and heal, it’s us. Many want to exclude us bc their view of liberation is solely destroying systems, not supporting life

I've been busy lately, but there's always time to tap the sign.
Alt National Park Service: In a court filing late last night, the Justice Department argued that Trump has the legal authority to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, calling access a “privilege, not a right” and citing national security concerns among its reasons.

[AltNPS links to Courtlistener.com]The "Don't make me tap the sign" meme. The sign says "Anytime AltNPS links to court docs, it means they saw the news somewhere else, and they're avoiding crediting a journalist.

We live in a world where the person committing Genocide has center stage at the UN and a 50 vehicle convoy for protection. While the victim of Genocide was banned from even attending. We are in a far worse state now than we were 80 years ago.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

Today I listened to/read M. Gessen’s book Surviving Autocracy and I cannot recommend it enough. It’s a sociologist’s wet dream of connecting concepts like Sapir-Whorf or social institutions to the reality we live and breathe in America. It’s straightforward, intelligent, & approachable.
