In a moment that calls for courage, we get this:
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

When Neil Postman wrote the prescient & still very relevant book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” in 1985, he played “1984” & “Brave New World” off each other as 2 distinct, separate, dystopian realities. Expect one; receive the other. Even his uncanny prescience couldn’t’ve predicted today’s reality

Going forward, barring super specific circumstances, I'm retiring the term "white supremacy" to describe Trump & his sycophants—because there's nothing "supreme" about them.
Instead, I'll use the term "white narcissism," because they arrogantly and falsely think their skin color makes them better.

If we had local governments that ACTUALLY cared about The People, police would be posted in front of ICE concentration camps.
Our real police would be arresting and JAILING every ICE thug who brings in a prisoner without a genuine legal warrant signed by a judge.

From license-plate readers to drones and cell-site simulators, ICE relies on a growing web of surveillance.
Here’s how hackers are shining a light on it—and why that matters. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE
A few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Are there limitations to recording ICE? What's the deal with ICE and facial recognition tech? How do you protect your privacy while protesting?

I was at the peaceful Union-led protest earlier today in Portland. ICE shot munitions into an apartment window above our heads and glass rained down all around. They also gassed tons of families protesting with their kids, completely unprovoked and without warning.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
