A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

they are manufacturing their justifications post-hoc. they are already doing what they want. you are not responsible for the actions of your oppressor. you are only responsible for keeping your neighbors safe and that will always be seen as defiance

Because using the term “general strike” would be to admit that the working class can successfully organize collective opposition to capital’s structural dominance.
US legacy media outlets are typically aligned with their billionaire owner / corporate interests who seek to oppose labor organizing.

I just double-checked, there is an near-blackout of national coverage on tomorrow's general strike in Minneapolis.
The only legacy print or broadcast outlet that has mentioned the exact terms "general strike" or "Day of Truth and Freedom" is ironically CBS News:

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

While this represents a step up from traditional right wing propaganda. It’s important to note that this builds on decades of existing racist propaganda.
So even when they’re told it is AI, they’ll say it’s true anyway, because of those pre existing biases.
Both aspects are dangerous here.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
