If we were being smart about this, we could perform guerrilla digital warfare on the Reform bots about how “traitor Farage is turning Reform into the Tory Party by buying out their MPs - the Brexit Betrayal Party.” Every post. Every comment they leave on every video, article etc.

If men don’t want to be murdered, maybe they should stop talking to women like they’re invincible and our patience for their nonsense is endless.

People got super mad the last time I posted about this but China mandating social media influencers in medicine, finance and legal must have actual expert knowledge is a good way to combat misinformation. We should consider the benefits of experts being expert and not some guy with a podcast again.

ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

what does he do about the fact that in most states midterms and statewides are on the same cycle, so "canceling the elections" might mean that tennessee doesn't have a governor next year. how does he convince tennessee republicans to give up power in their own states?

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

A conversation I’m having a little too often: I say I want guns banned so a guy replies “we need them because of the second amendment”

I ask “is that the one where you need guns to stand up to a tyrannical regime?”

He says “yes.”

So I ask “so are you using it right now?”

And then he blocks me

"Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE."
My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

It’s actually an unhinged phenomena that men repeatedly keep telling me that women using Grok to create nudes of themselves to sell is precisely the same as men creating CSAM and non consensually removing the clothes of women. The concept of consent means nothing to them.

We should also make the connection that the Right is perpetually in the wrong and prone to fascism but for some reason we never learn that lesson.

I actually do think the deeply toxic US version of ‘free speech’ being enforced digitally all over the world with very little regulation has been deeply detrimental to the rest of society. This form of digital imperialism has no place in the world.

Decentralize tech. We need to start working towards a future where communities have more digital sovereignty. More control over the algorithms and data they use to assist with their lives.
If we really want a free and fair internet, it’s going to have to be one where the US government and US tech bros have as little voice as possible. We’ve seen what happens when they’re allowed the biggest voice in the room.

For years, many of us have tried to get people to care about criminalization with only limited success. We made the point that criminalization is fascism's fuel. And I really really hope that more people now understand this.
