My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

We can't have people feeling comfortable talking like this in public. We have to punish. We cannot possibly exist as the melting pot or whatever if we just let people say this shit in public and nothing happens.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, bridges get burnt, things don't just bounce back into place, people stay mad forever, commenters write mean things, peer groups fracture, and you can't weasel your way out of any of it with a cute slogan. that's just the way it is you know

This is what women on the right say about another woman who was gang raped. These are the same people our current Dem leadership thinks should be allowed to participate in normal society after we wrest control from the psychos.

this is so dramatically stupid on so many levels. I understand that he's going for "why do we need to know math when we have calculators" as a concept but "I don't know my address" is a completely different type of knowledge loss, and certainly more embarrassing, I'd think

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

this is probably the worst language i've seen a democrat use. saying "transgender ideology" is straight out of the right wing playbook. this is looking more and more like Labour, so I don't want to hear any more shit about how even the transphobic democrats broadly support our rights.

All it took was one person to confront Rob Sand at his town hall for his anti-trans statements. There are 26 Democrats that have taken bad votes or made bad statements towards transgender people. Those who disagreed with my article said to talk to the dems instead. So, we are. Go do it!

The Labour Party did this. That's why trans people are pushing back on Dems capitulating on trans issues. We have seen what happens when the liberal party abandons trans people after saying you must vote for them or it without be worse under a conservative government.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."

The Vice President of the United States of America can't feel comfortable saying this stuff out loud and one of the reasons we need new Dem leadership is because we need to punish this kind of behavior and guys like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck don't have the stomach to do what needs to be done.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

This is an absolutely wild way to talk about LITERAL KITES
Israel must remember the danger carried by Gaza kites, Hamas dictating tempo at border - editorial
Israel has paid far too high a price to relearn this lesson. The kites crossing the border today may contain nothing, but the next ones may not. We should not wait and see.At least six kites crossed from Gaza into Israel over the past week, with other reports putting the number higher. None of those recovered so far carried explosives, and no Israelis were endangered. The IDF said it believes Palestinian youth, some only 12 or 13 years old, are being used to launch them, likely at the direction of Hamas terrorists.A border is either defended, or it is not. If Hamas permits organized launch sites to operate, it should understand there will be a price. The IDF should also have clear procedures for detecting, intercepting, and handling anything that crosses from Gaza before residents stumble across it.

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.
Part of a thread from some bluecheck:
Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule.

I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X."

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
