Want to write, or draw, or make music but think you don’t have the skills or tools to do so? There have always been solutions: build those skills, obtain those tools, or build new ones, collaborate with somebody else. AI mimics those skills, tools, and collaborations, but robs you of the art.

Courage is contagious. Hungary voted out Orbán after 16 years. Minnesota showed it too, when communities faced ICE raids and stood together in resistance. From Budapest to Minneapolis, when people unite, they can push back against fear and injustice—and give the world hope.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

One year when I was a kid, we went to my grandmother’s for Thanksgiving and found ourselves picking little wood pieces out of our bites of turkey meat. It turned out that she hadn’t thawed the turkey in time, so she took it out onto the wood pile, hacked it into bits, and cooked the pieces.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

“We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to a fear of reprisal. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

washingtonpost.com

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.
