Huge thanks to @toddmartens.bsky.social for writing such a thoughtful appreciation of my new project OUT OF THE ASHES that I am co-directing with Nonny de la Peña. Tomorrow night at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion we'll be showing excerpts from the project along with a host of other activations.

These people are shitheads today and they'll be shitheads in 9 months.
They control the levers of power and we're going to defeat them.
They're going to do whatever it takes to stop us, generally illegally, and we're going to win.
Then we're going to make them suffer.
That's the plan.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

American Gulag, babies
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

Do you think it might have been a mistake to make the machine where we're supposed to get all our work done the same machine that we use to talk to everyone we've ever met, experience every song and movie ever made, watch porn, play video games, and fight to the figurative death with total strangers

I don't mean to seem alarmed, but it appears Google's book search function is, just...gone.
In a sane country it would be a huge deal, front page news, that a privately owned utility that millions researches, from journalists to scholars, rely on every day to advance knowledge can just disappear.

I mean, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social had already lost my vote, but now he's really, really lost my vote. Not voting for any democrat who doesnt Abolish ICE.
What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

Two weeks ago "Robin Wright" showed up. And all of her video thumbnails look basically identical. And they're ALL trying to claim that Gavin Newsome is collapsing or panicking or stunned or whatever. It's all just AI slop. You can see when the account flipped.

She took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.

My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it.
Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.

About 5 minutes ago. Now 11:46 - Can someone gets the MS now footage showing this!
