People are released here in Minnesota after being illegally detained five, six, seven months. They walk out in a daze, with nothing. They’re the innocent victims of a racial terror campaign. 118421
Reposted by Shannon PhillipsWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 09/10/2026“Illegally detaining and brutalizing a racial minority until they agree to flee the country” isn’t immigration enforcement, it’s ethnic cleansing. There’s no legal standard here - these people meet the standard! What differentiates them is not their legal status but their race and color. 5546130

Shannon Phillips @joshannonphillips.com · 09/10/2026The bathroom freakout is insane. The technology that solves all problems is called "stalls." If I'm in a stall then I don't care about the junk situation on the person in the next stall over. They could have Cthulhu tentacles down there and it simply does not affect me in any way. 29012

Shannon Phillips @joshannonphillips.com · 03/10/2026Yes, squirrels seem like they ought to scurry, as mice and rats do, but instead they scamper, as those fluffy twitchy tails cannot help but imbue the proceedings with an insouciant element 061
Shannon Phillips @joshannonphillips.com · 03/10/2026I think my intuitive taxonomy would be that rats/mice scurry, fast spiders and insects skitter, slower moving arthropods like lobsters scutter across the ocean floor, and scuttling can only be performed by something like a group of raccoons. 011

At the UN this week, Trump dismissed concerns over AI safety as a “hoax.” And that’s the position of his administration. Needless to say, it isn’t a hoax - and we’ve got two-plus more years of this (at least) while AI threats grow. 1416741
