ICE is literally beating and kidnapping Americans in the streets and disappearing them to gulags in other countries but yeah, let's instead demonize the Iranian American and American Muslim communities with good old "sleeper cell" fear mongering to distract from Trump's illegal war with Iran.

Today, we reflect on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s fight for justice and equality. As we celebrate his legacy, we're reminded that much more work is needed to fulfill the promise of a more just and democratic future for all.

* 64 years ago in a farewell speech, Pres. Eisenhower warned of a growing "military-industrial complex."
* Last night, Pres. Biden spoke of a growing "tech-industrial complex" and an emerging oligarchy.
It felt like a big American moment - and not the kind we wish for.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.
All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.
NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.
