Examples of how fascist untruths get regurgitated as fact by LLMs are ubiquitous, but this one is really jarring. The Harvard Kennedy School article Gemini scraped is entirely about how the claim is false. Gemini cannot parse this, instead sharing DHS propaganda as fact when you search her name.

Spent some of my best times on the computer as a kid making custom WinAmp visualizations. Can’t wait to try this.
Nobody asked for it. We did it anyway.
If you ever used Winamp during the later years, it had an awesome, awesome visualizer called Milkdrop. The Webamp people implemented a workalike called Butterchurn.
Internet Archive now supports Webamp and Butterchurn. Just click on the llama!

There's a line from the riots of sailors and the enslaved all the way through to 2020 and today. Past the counterrevolutions, coups and propaganda (including official holidays) intended to bury it.
"The great men are going to take all we have." They still are. The question is what we do about it.

This, by the way, is why you should never RSVP to a protest that wants your name & address.
SCOOP: Details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protest are under watch by domestic intelligence centers, where analysts regularly distribute speculative threat assessments among federal, state, and local agencies, according to an internal alert obtained by WIRED.

When immigrants’ rights are under attack, what do we do?
Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. Same tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in Nov. 2024, blinding at least one and forcing a whole unit to retreat down an alley.

Things have quieted again. Recovering from getting shoved by ICE a few times. As far as I could tell it was just ICE and unmarked contractors, no cops yet. A barricade has been built outside one of the gates. There’s groups of protestors at every gate

Community support, solid organizing, determination and understanding the enemy had much more to do with whether something worked than the fictional saintliness that politicians like to invoke today. They still do.
Whatever tactics you and your communities end up choosing that's worth remembering.

The criteria for sanitized protests today would, if applied even to the civil rights movement, result in their demonstrations being disavowed, smeared as "instigators" and reported to the cops. That is a testament to what the narrow idea of "peaceful protest" is meant to do and whom it serves...

So, since bad history is damaging: when the civil rights movement talked about "nonviolence" they meant a set of tactics. They planned actions for maximum disruption and intentionally defied police and laws.
This is very different from how "peaceful protest" is meant by many using it today.
