This is one of the few contexts where design choices meaningfully shape the boundaries of institutional access.
The FBI has been unable to access a Washington Post reporter’s seized iPhone because it was in Lockdown Mode. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

This is a strong article and I recommend reading it.
Let’s be honest. ICE functions as a distraction. While outrage is focused there, the administration continues siphoning public money through contracts, donors, & corruption. Patterns that many including @kenklippenstein.bsky.social have shown.

If you want people to think critically while dismissing history and philosophy as useless, you fundamentally misunderstand what critical thinking is.

Guessing ICE broke the bat signal too. 🤷🏼♀️
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

A recent Science analysis shows the US has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office, with agencies shedding scientists and researchers across the board.

THREAD: 404 Media has been covering ICE and the technology they've been using to surveil and raid "targets", detain people based on a flawed facial recognition app, and lie about violence on the streets.
They have established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman
At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Condoleezza Rice has an extensive background in authoritarian regimes. She also partially owns the Denver Broncos. Since they’re not in the Super Bowl, she should have time now to comment on the current relevant issues. #SuperBowl #football

Noticing a pattern: creators like MoistCr1TiKaL (24 million followers)—who’ve been deliberately apolitical for years—are starting to speak out. When people whose incentive is neutrality move, it’s often a signal that the pendulum is shifting.

In light of the current sociopolitical entropy & the seemingly unrelenting cascade of global crises, a simmer pot is a necessity-not merely as an olfactory indulgence but as an existential recalibration device.
