iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

How does… but.. make it make sense.

Well this'll be interesting.

I'm over people saying people in Chicago or LA or Portland or New York aren't doing enough. What they're saying is: 'Why aren't you out there shooting back so I don't have to?' 'Why aren't you being killed fast enough for my taste?' 'Why aren't you risking your life so I don't have to?'

Corey Rayburn Yung: 'Americans are being far too complacent about masked government agents in unmarked vehicles grabbing people and taking them to unknown destinations.'

He's reposting a post from Unraveled showing agents kidnapping a man and fleeing from a Dunkin Donut in Chicago.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage." I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

Stolen camera lens needs replacing. (Stolen while reporting on activity at Broadview [i think]) Toss some $ at this if you can.

The govt, at time of writing, yet maintains its felony assault complaints against two other men arrested at the 9/27 ICE facility protest - Dana Briggs, who is 70 years old, and Paul Ivery, who has an intellectual disability and was asked while in federal custody to waive his Miranda rights.

"Anarchists run Portland" seems to suggest a lack of understanding of what anarchy actually means.

@anildash.com wrote this in 2011: dashes.com/2011/07/20/i... Each website - each social media system - has to have a view of what sort of content they want and what they don't want. Or, to put this in terms techbros understand: There is no such thing as viewpoint-neutral moderation.

ok but you could also mobilize the national guard defensively and tell your state police to stop attacking protesters

These are every day citizens who came here to help brutalize the people of Chicago. wtf is wrong with everyone? Do you not think ICE are also every day people who had other jobs before this? I will not be kind to the people here to kidnap my neighbors, regardless of who sent them or why.

Do me a favor and go look up what our state motto is. If you need a cheat sheet, it’s on the flag

Rudy Explains! So excited for the future of this.

This. This is why Newsom is scarier to me than Trump. He has all the same positions. But he says things while wearing a suit and saying he's a Democrat so everyone is OK with it. Which means he'll face far less pushback. Just like Biden. Only with a hyper-militarized federal police force.

This is from a video on X, showing inside the Broadview ICE facility when Noem was in town on Fri. For context, she's in the central room with 15 workstations setup to process detained individuals, whether they were arrested by immigration enforcement or at protests. See the orange triangles?

Kristi Noem inside the ICE facility at 1930 Beach St. in Broadview, IL. She is standing near a white man, smiling at a desk with a computer monitor and printer. Behind her is a cell door with a man looking out a narrow slit window. Next to him, three or four other men are seen through a larger window in the cell.

Behind the white man are two upside down "demo bags" taped up over the windows to another cell.

"A critical part of our moderation infrastructure is a third-party black box that we don't provide input to" is, uh, kind of concerning.

What, I'm going to say very very clearly, THE EVER LOVING FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! Does anyone who works for bluesky do any actual work? Or do they just offload all of it to AI?
