Given all the news about ICE in the past few weeks, can I kindly remind you all that RELX (owners of Elsevier & LexisNexis) is "mission-critical" to ICE.

ICE pays RELX Group and Thomson Reuters millions of dollars for the personal data it needs to fuel its big data policing program […]

Hey, good news, sometimes the Democrats come through. This is one of those times.

Have some good news for the end of Friday.

This can and should free up a lot of energy to use against DHS and ICE.

The Republican House passed the DHS/ICE funding bill with functionally no reforms and absolutely no restrictions.

This was going to happen; the House is simple majority in basically everything. But the Senate is another story.

I think this is pretty funny because I think both cities are probably more libertarian than either liberal or what passes for conservative these days.

I thought I was done with this #electionofficer thread because the #elections were Tuesday. But not quite.

I found out today that my collector officers were the very first out of all 19 precincts to turn in their results. They got cheers from the staff when they arrived. There aren’t a lot of […]

Hey everyone, got a request from a follower, @lindz.bsky.social , for anyone who has any connections in NY related to immigration - they’re trying to find someone who was detained. If you can help, please hit them up.

Oh, here’s another spending-power law Congress needs to pass:

Absolutely no executive computer can use AI image altering tech. Period.

Congress needs to refuse to fund this sort of truth-murdering propaganda.
NEW: Earlier today, DHS Sec Kristi Noem posted a photo of federal agents arresting civil rights attorney and ICE protestor Nekima Levy Armstrong.

The White House then posted the same arrest image -- but digitally altered Levy Armstrong's face to depict her sobbing.

White House Uses AI to Alter Protester's Face So That She's Sobbing, Instead of Looking Brave, During Arrest
The White House published an image on X featuring an AI-altered image of an ICE protester crying during her arrest.

Good morning.

I saw my late father in a dream last night. He came to visit us, when I saw he was at the door I ran up and hugged him tight. I don’t think I let go.

In the dream I knew he was dead in real life so I was crying while hugging him.

He’s been dead ten years. In the past, dreams […]

When WaPo asked DHS abt possibility it won't get funded, it pointed to its propaganda about who it is arresting--the same lie it has been telling since Sen Padilla called Noem on it last summer. That makes MPR debunking all the more important.

🪂 PARACHUTING BEAVERS
Save the Day 🦫🥇

After WW2, beavers in conflict with human neighbors had to be moved from suburbs to an Idaho mountains river basin.

I know this is a comment on how saying "don't be sad" isn't doing very much... but I just see a bulldozer trying their best to comfort the sad ship and it's the sweetest thing ever... I... I'm so happy for them both.

Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
Dylan Mulvaney's latest success, this time on Broadway, once again has conservative weirdos frothing at the mouth.

We need to nerf federal law enforcement and stick the un-nerfed guys on a desk until some specific crisis arises, which will likely make most of the BORTAC cosplayers quit or do something else.

But POLICE dressed like this is absolutely inconsistent with democracy.
