Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

“I’ve never done a bond or a habeas for a kid this young, ever." – U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns

"The boy remains trapped in a prison 500 miles away from home with an unhealed broken foot, sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum blanket, and crying to his mother on the phone."

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I fear that schools being willing to drop diversity programs without a fight shows how flimsy their commitment to inclusion was in the first place. People fight for things they truly believe in.

Victor Ray, a sociology professor at the University of Iowa who studies race, said in an email that OSU’s decision to interpret federal guidance in this way “reflects the real pressure universities face as the Trump administration and Republican legislators attack higher education.”

But, Ray added, it may also be exposing the true colors of many universities that were broadcasting their commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion when it was politically expedient to do so just a few years ago.

“The swiftness with which these organizations have complied with legally dubious orders shows that their commitments to diversity were often paper-thin before this administration’s pressure,” he said. “In many cases, administrators with existing qualms about diversity, perhaps going too far, now have political cover to take anti-equitable actions.”

Time and time again, people have this misconception that Sweden and other Scandinavian nations are the "nice" ones, when the reality is that they are right to far-right, and do not care really care about the rights or treatment of people, including their own citizens.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

Notice the difference?

Also Israel has killed dozens of Palestinians since this “ceasefire” began. Including a beloved journalist named Saleh Aljafarawi who was only 28 years old.

He spent this genocide chronicling life in Gaza. And they murdered him while claiming peace.

shan, "something or other" @shantasma.bsky.social · 4d

hi I am unfortunately in a bad financial spot once again on account of half my rent being up in the air and my car leaking oil at an exponentially faster rate

hoping to at least raise enough to dump more oil in this thing or things are gonna get rly hairy for me

any shares would be appreciated 🩷

My UI benefits will be expended in a couple weeks, and once they're gone I'll be short at least $200 in rent by the end of October.

It's about $80 to dump more oil in this car but at least $400 to fix the leak. Right now my priority is the short term fix as I should hopefully have a steady gig lined up soon and be able to handle the repair myself.

So right now my fundraising goal is $300, which will make all the difference in getting me by while I continue my job hunt.

Any reposts or shares would be much appreciated 🩷 I'm pretty worried about this car tbh lol

My cashapp & venmo are both @Rottytoops. I can also provide my Paypal via DM if necessary.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 1d

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

Indigenous Peoples’ Day has never been just a celebration. It is a call to action against the ongoing assault on our sovereignty and existence.

Native Survival Depends on Protecting Both Tribal and US Citizenship Rights

Trump’s attacks on Native sovereignty and citizenship are a deliberate effort to undermine the rights of tribal nations.
