If Kamala Harris had won you still wouldn't be able to make rent or pay for groceries, and ICE would still be kidnapping Latinos, just more quietly, in a way that doesn't interrupt brunch.
Terrible things would still be happening to us- you just wouldn't care

It’s deeply depressing that people would rather attack a trans woman for criticizing Democrats than reckon with the fact that the party has been deeply complicit in sustaining the very systems now harming us. Just because Republicans are much worse doesn’t mean Dems aren’t complicit.

the biggest lie being told about ICE is that they are un-american.
ICE is probably the most potent distillation of american domineering spirit any government agency has had in decades. And people are seeing exactly what it looks like when we invade another country.

We are all drowning in a pool of systemic propaganda so I understand why the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti feel esp shocking and I think it is important to do the internal work of asking yourself, if this applies to you, why the deaths of immigrants/Black folks don't shock in the same way

I guess it’s fine to point out the murders were against US citizens because I think that point needs to break through to the normies.
However, I don’t like the implication that it means non-citizen should be shot and killed either.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

this is useless semantics. ICE and the police are institutions of systemic violence expressly constructed to enforce a social order designed to extract value from a manufactured underclass.
ICE is not law enforcement, they are not police, they are paramilitary. Opposing ICE is not against law enforcement, it is not against police, it is against paramilitary.

sharing a thread i did about electronica stuff:
the lower voltage actually makes it MORE dangerous if anything.
240v requires half the amperage for the same rated power as 120v. So a 1500W space heater needs to draw 12.5A from the wall. most home wiring is only rated for 15A and most powerstrips and extension cables even less!

somebody once said something very poignant about hammers and explosions and cars.
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social.
That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.
