Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “It is time to choose sides; fascism or morality? Big tech has made their choice.”

One of the most innovative designs came out 6 or so years ago. And that’s Nevsky by @volko.bsky.social
It’s created really incredible games using its framework too! like Almoravid, Inferno and Plantagenet. So excited to receive Seljuk & thinking I’ll do a video series on these

It's incredibly normal to feel uncomfortable being near people who are different from you. And your job as a human being is to feel a little ashamed of that, grow the fuck up, and get over it.

The only question for Mike Johnson should be "why did you dissolve Congress?" And when he predictably lies or changes the subject, repeatedly follow up with variations of "so why aren't you doing your job?"
The Speaker's opinions on anything else matter little if Congress is artificially on leave.

This has been bothering me all day because the obvious point of No Kings is to show we have the power to do a color revolution if they don‘t honor the results of future elections.
The other point is to radicalize fence-sitters by having people who are *clearly doing nothing wrong* be tear gassed

This is exactly backwards, the no kings protests are a mass movement of regular people that have every republican politician in the country raging about "hate America rallies," and the online protest industry weirdos who say shit like "radlib" to each other are the ones skimming off the top of them
