“We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close.”

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

"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.

Not to mention very deep pockets (from the US) bankrolling the legal battle.

“As the farm has sought public support and donations for a federal court battle to keep the flock alive, creditors claim the business owners have ignored B.C. Supreme Court orders to repay debts worth more than $250,000.”

So this is a very interesting wrinkle in the case of the ostrich farm fighting a cull order: they owe creditors thousands and, aside from the birds, appear to have no assets www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

The guy behind the horror
“As the president's policy architect and enforcer, he is obsessed, according to three Trump advisers, with deploying the might of the government to stamp out what he deems "anti-white hatred" and "anti-white racism" and "anti-white discrimination" -- no matter the cost.”

Asawin Suebsaeng @swin24.bsky.social · 7d

Also it’s largely a lie. Search this piece for “I WANT DADDY”, & if you can stomach reading that section, it’s one of many many many examples of how the Trump administration makes it impossible for numerous people to self-deport —because they want the arrest data www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Am surprised there’s any amount of Canadians continuing to holiday in a country with a gov that is celebrating the harm their tariffs are inflicting on us - not to mention that does this.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

But I thought the other countries, not Americans, paid for the tariffs?!

For real though, this is so gutting for our small Canadian producers who sell their wares to the US.

Adam Rose @adamrose.bsky.social · 9d

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Screenshot of message from UPS:

Hi Adam,

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.

He Grew Obsessed With an AI Chatbot. Then He Vanished in the Ozarks
