Shit like this is why it’s been fuck AI from day one. Always where it was heading.
The White House posted an edited photo of the activist involved in the Minneapolis church protest, made to look like she was crying.

Some of you know that about a decade ago, I hosted a weekly radio show about the Mountain Goats. It was rewarding, in part because the tMG catalog is much, much deeper than people tend to realize and in part because there's a wonderful community who steward that catalog's dustiest corners together.

Maybe now the media has permission to treat it as a scandal, since they tried to cover it up
This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.
This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

glad to see so much serious consideration given to "last person he talked to" theory, which i have long been a believer in, since back in the first term. the man has simply got noodles for brains and he doesn't have his own thoughts or beliefs about anything at all

Thing about cadaver synods is it’s never too late
Sic semper tyrannis, motherfuckers. It's not too late to dig up their bones and scatter them and overturn their monuments and melt them down.

hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

if only there had been a movement and momentum several years ago to downsize police budgets, clear out the white supremacists and de-militarize local law enforcement
The elephant in the room is that mayors and governors across the country have very good reason to question the loyalty and allegiances of the state and local police forces and that’s one of the impediments to doing anything about the current occupations
