I feel like I'm not hearing about any protests at all right now. I know a big part of this is because of collusion between social media companies, but have no idea how to work around this. Even the folks I follow who were active before in places like Portland don't seem to be talking now.

My area of research is convict leasing. In the USA, when labor is forced outside of a punishment, such as before a guilty verdict, it is called slavery. This isn’t hyperbole…
“He said that the inmates would perform forced labor for at least a year, possibly more, and that the “United States will pay a very low fee for them.””

Trump sends more than 200 alleged gang members to prison in El Salvador
The administration won’t identify those moved — or say whether the Alien Enemies Act, which briefly sped up some deportations, played any role.

Netflix has 4748 movies right now. Subtract the "originals" nobody cares about and there's 2503.
How many of those are worth watching? The average blockbuster had twice that. @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social has 150,000.
Fuck streaming & paying forever. When I wanna see a movie, I'm getting it on disc.

Researching information for a local mural, I learned about Indiana's electric interurban passenger railway system in the early 1900s. Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania were all connected by this system. Its too bad we don't have anything like this anymore.

Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism.
We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.
