ICE is causing chaos all over Chicagoland again this morning. We can't provide updates today/have to take care of some other urgent tasks. Please lean on your local neighborhood groups and response networks.

Yeah this has outstripped the post-9/11 frenzy even, especially when you factor in that the entire country was genuinely traumatized by 9/11 while most people didn’t know or care who Charlie Kirk was
We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

It's wild just how fucking bombarded with ads Americans are. When we were kids our cafeterias were covered in "Got Milk?" posters, ads for the dairy lobby. Our most well known cultural characters are from insurance commercials. Every moment of every day someone is selling you a thing. It sucks.

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?

Deeply disturbing. Missouri is implementing age verification for 18+ sites through its AG. No vote, no legislation, just the Attorney General implementing the policy and forcing AV on its residents

As much as American media would like to pretend otherwise, the biggest and most consequential news story of the week is Trump voluntarily blowing up our relationship with our most pivotal ally in East Asia
Meanwhile in Korean media there is clarity that Trump directed this raid out of spite following his Oval Office meeting with the ROK President, who pushed back aggressively on Trump's praise for the North Korean dictator. They're right. US media have no clue of what's going on.

So are we allowed to say that "separate art from artist" no longer applies to Rowling yet?
Cuz I REALLY don't think Baby's First Fantasy Book is worth it anymore.

So JK Rowling quoted Mein Kampf and it just reveals how ignorant she WILLFULLY is.
HITLER WAS THE ONE WHO WEAPONIZED INSTITUATIONAL VIOLENCE! He turned every institution into a machine for legalized political violence against marginalized people - WHICH IS NOT COMPARABLE TO WHAT HAPPENED TO KIRK!

A bitter pill for those of who love Star Trek. Please read this thread and reconsider your subscription to Paramount. We must boycott in great numbers for them to feel the pinch. Please share far and wide.
For as long as I can remember, Star Trek has been equal parts escape, inspiration, and guidance for me. "The Arsenal of Freedom," a TNG Season 1 episode, was my trans realization moment at 5 years old. When I was little, I would tell people I want to make Star Trek real when I grew up -

In short, giving money to Paramount now would be to pay blood money to my own executioner. Bari Weiss is a dangerous bigot. Israel is committing genocide, trans rights are human rights, and I will not support this evil with my money.
I urge you to do the same. It's not worth it.
