These mixed media paintings are companion pieces exploring loss, anger, and one potential fate of Rembrandt's The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee -- that it has sat rolled up in a tube for 36 years and has been ruined through neglect.

We're in an era where a massive number of new folks are joining social movements. Let's celebrate! As we do, we all get to learn a lot about how to keep each other safe (aka: "security culture"). Signal threads being infiltrated can feel scary but not if you understand what we're trying to protect.
Rightwing dipshits are invading Signal chats of newly forming ICE Watch/Rapid Response groups, creating an environment of generalized fear in many communities
In my new video I explain how we can protect ourselves, and the difference between Security Culture and Theater

Anarchists are your neighbors. Their kid goes to preschool with your kid. They are in class with you at the local community College. They are your coworkers, your friends, and your family members.
We don't just fucking spawn out of thin air if full black bloc gear anytime there's a protest

that is to say, there is no neat and universal mutual exclusion between "masked members of a black bloc" and "the local you know who is looking after their neighbour". sometimes, oftentimes even, these are the same person

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.
Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
