Interested in SF, science, games both video and tabletop, a little bit of finance & economics, and alas US and Canadian politics because I have to. Used to write until I went broke trying.

Incidentally this is how you can tell that the church protest was effective.
Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

While it’s true that eventually Trump will no longer be president, the American public voted for him not just once but twice – and he has defined a type of politics that others will imitate. It would be foolish to assume that MAGA will disappear when he leaves the stage.

I don't even say that to be mean about Will, he's worked hard but he's also very green.
And sometimes when very green people make themselves a very recognizable face of your risky work, that in and of itself becomes a risk you have to manage as an organizer.

ICE also arrested a hotel employee at one of the places they were staying. They shit where they eat. They shit where they sleep. As we all know it's super smart to do those things out in the wild
ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Please. Explain to me how the fourth amendment allows federal officers to enter your home without either your consent or a judicial warrant and without a warrant exception because it's civil rather than criminal law.
Explain it to me with case law.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.
“We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said.
I started sobbing uncontrollably.

the presence of a journalist does not mean the identity of every person the journalist encounters suddenly becomes a public fact. what I am discovering is that an alarming number of people appear to believe in this kind of miasmatic journalism. real journalists work by very strict disclosure rules
dude, I think you‘ve done some good but you’re not winning the argument by basically calling people immature for not wanting to be fully public like you. I also don’t know the right way to persuade on this one but your way ain’t working right now

Guy who literally trashed half the White House says someone who damages government property deserves summary execution. #MAGADelendaEst
The USA, where the summary execution of an unarmed man can now be justified by the actual president, because on a separate occasion he kicked the tail light of a "very expensive government vehicle."

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

A fun fact I like to share with students is when Border Patrol was founded a century ago, there were more Border Patrol agents on the northern border than the southern border. Because during Prohibition, the US considered Canadian whisky to be our greatest border security threat.
