"If you gave a socialist a lever that would seize the wealth of every billionaire, they would pull it. Similarly, if you gave a fascist a lever that expelled or exterminated every non-white person in their country, they would pull it—and they’d be enthusiastic about doing so."

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

As we continue to mourn the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we also must lift the stories of the 32 people who died in ICE custody just last year. In December, 6 people died in ICE’s custody — the deadliest month in the history of the agency. It is shameful, and it must end.

Filming the police is not obstruction. Filming the police is not resisting. Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting. Holding onto your phone is not resisting. Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

If Democrats aren’t whipping votes against ICE funding, and letting conservative members vote to pass it, it means the Democratic Party supports ICE funding. If your opposition to fascism is performative, then you don’t actually oppose fascism.

"You have to use AI." ...why?
People keep saying that AI is inevitable. 

Like Bartleby, I'd prefer not to...

We "have to use it!"

My response to that is simply... WHY? Why is it being pushed so much and into so many things? Once you've gotten people to cede their decision making to an algorithm, eventually they'll stop thinking for themselves.

Why would I outsource thinking for myself to a machine? I have a brain.

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George
A Twitter reply from Boy George to JKR. JKR said something predictably terfy. 

Boy George’s reply: 

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean.
As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says.
'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type of people, nice people and c***s.
I do not expect any positive response and you will continue to be supported by women who see you as some kind of gender hero. Women are not better than men and men are not better than women. As a man, a biological one, rah, rah, I have no issue with a girl becoming a boy or the other way around. As a gay man who has worn make-up since 14 l had lived my entire life feeling awkward and afraid using male public toilets.
It's not easy being different and you are only making it harder. Why don't you buy a nice Scottish island or a farm and start a JK commune for traumatised Terfs. Or listen to your fellow Scott Sydney Banks and he will hopefully help you understand that this is all in your head.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.
Homeland Security tweets: It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo.
