The reason why you don’t know how to process what is happening is because you found it permissible when you were under the illusion it could only happen to other people.

great thread with concrete action links you can share and contribute to right now!
I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes.

For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:

anyway I don't want to hear you say/see you post about Trump regime or ICE if you're still using Microsoft products, having publishing deals with Game Pass or put your data on GitHub

time for performative posting is over, you have the power to do something

I know Bsky loves posts like these, but at least in case of Anthropic it's simply untrue, to the point of attracting David Sacks' public ire about it continuously

except Anthropic is literally one of the few companies (maybe only one in mainstream ML space I can recall) that constantly clashes with and opposes the Trump Regime

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.
Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.

I need people, especially Americans to understand, this is who you are/were for a long, long, long time for so many nations/people around the world.

so much infighting on this website about what to mourn, how to mourn, how to react, what to react to, when to react etc

it would be funny if it wasn't so so sad

rancid website by design
