Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?
We got like way more people than that don't we?

NGL, it's beautiful that folks are posting "Team Rocket is together again" with the tragic loss of James Carter. But every time I see a post, it's only honoring him and Rachael Lillis. Please, don't leave out Maddie Blaustein, the trans woman who first voiced Meowth and passed away in 2008.

Trump’s position is that Venezuela’s government is so evil & hostile to the United States that it has deployed a criminal gang to invade this country—and also that the Venezuelan people have no valid reason to flee that government and seek asylum here.
BREAKING: SCOTUS allows DHS to reinstate Sec. Kristi Noem's order ending Temporary Protected Status for many Venezuelans, but notes the decision does not address challenges to actions "purport[ing] to invalidate" related legal status, work authorization documents, etc., previously granted under TPS.

I don't think people realize how political criminalization is, and how much more overtly political it can become. "People committing crimes"--that's something cops and prosecutors decide. This is the machine that makes people believe that humans deserve dehumanization.
intensely frustrating, but I think pretty much beyond question that the Spanish-language info environment was *completely* fucked in 2024
![Javier, a Panamanian from Phoenix who works in furniture delivery, also said he regrets his vote for Trump because he sees the Latino community living in fear of deportations.
“We all knew this was on Trump’s agenda but we thought it was going to be people committing crimes, who were going to deserve [deportation],” he said. “But nowadays it seems to be out of control, with news reports of many people paying the price of being deported unnecessarily.”
Javier also mentioned the case of Abrego Garcia as having an effect on him. Even though many of the men were critical of news organizations for perceived bias, they said they had all heard of the man wrongly shipped to El Salvador.
One of the men who said he regretted voting for Trump, Danny, a teacher in Phoenix, said the administration was “not being smart with how they’re deporting people.” In the case of Abrego Garcia, he said, “someone taken by mistake—it changes someone’s life forever.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5yoii26kayabauhkym3vtms/bafkreig2jktfuq7afqk3wkzsjaqpllqn5ug4bdsu3zn5pjoq33elubvdm4@jpeg)
