🚨 MUTUAL AID REQUEST 🚨
A good friend on the West Coast has been going through some health issues and needs rent assistance this upcoming month. If you can spare a few bucks, it would help out a whole lot. (I personally vouch for this fundraiser and would really appreciate a boost.)

Specifically, the Coast Guard is part of DHS so it's pretty standard. But Noem is...

The aide-de-camp position is usually seen as a plum assignment that goes to very promising officers. The idea is you get to be in the room among some very senior enlisted and civilian leaders to learn how things work.

Say $115-135k at O-5 to be a bag carrier is a bit above minimum wage.

Her expression suggests she'd rather be aide to a flag officer.

Shot of a Coast Guard officer apparently serving Kristi Noem's aide-to-camp, lugging her $2500 Goyard GM tote. Three sleeve stripes so she's a Cdr, equivalent to a Lt. Colonel in the Army I think

No immigrants are going to actually take this offer (which is a pittance at best) but even if they did Trump would never pay. It’s bait. He’s setting a trap.

Trump Offers to Pay Immigrants Who Deport Themselves

The administration says the program to pay migrants $1,000 once their travel home is confirmed will save money because of how expensive it is to find, detain and deport people.

I can always tell when someone used AI to generate code or documents because every heading or every log message starts with an emoji

Who taught LLMs to be so addicted to emojis?

There is one fundamental truth about mutual aid, and it always shocks people:

YOU MUST BREAK THE LAW IN ORDER TO ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE.

This truth alone should radicalize you.

The more you work on scale, branding, recognition, institutional funding, the harder it becomes to actually
help people.

We also vouch for this comrade. They’ve provided an immeasurable but incredible impact on our work, and you should support this fund to protect them from eviction.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war
