new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.
"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

Pritzker's response is correct and it should be the rule, not the exception. The Dems' general condemnations of violence cede the field to Trump/Musk/GOP, who falsely blame the left for all/most political violence. (Even when a pro-Trump shooter murders elected Dems.)
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

they should make AI partners too realistic. you should have to meet their robot parents who are mean to you. there should be days where they're in a bad mood because of something unrelated to you. you should have to apologize to the AI for something it did to you because you feel bad
i fear that increasingly photorealistic and fully-voiced video game romances have primed a certain subset of people to pursue AI relationships. like oh you love astarion baldursgate? what if he lived in your phone and texted you all the time

Sickening footage from Nuneaton tonight, where a Sky News interview with a local businessman was disrupted by racists hurling abuse.
Another local said, "Warwickshire Council Council has gone to Reform... It's given certain people a licence to be aggressive and racist."

2025 Democratic politics is that scene in every 70s movie where somebody gets their car stolen and runs down the street shaking their fist in the air yelling, "Hey, that's my car!!!"

And the response of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government to Farage’s hateful rhetoric… Labour sympathisers can justify this all they like but it is patently enabling hate speech and demonstrates Starmer et al’s lack of moral courage.

I like to remind people that Enoch Powell got fired by his Tory PM Ted Heath in 1968 and never had a cabinet position again, and the Times called it an “evil speech”. Now we get great replacement theory in the Times and politicians including Labour advocating for ethnic cleansing on a daily basis

And I mean, it is balls of steel stuff for anyone working for the Times to complain that the zone has been disastrously flooded with shit, while standing on one of the largest and most powerful Nordstream gushers in the country.

This isn’t politics as such, I’d say. It’s what’s increasingly replaced politics after the 2008 crisis blew up the Thatcherite consensus, the endless circuses that have been created for the public, in place of bread. It’s what we now do *instead of* politics.

Years ago there was video of Tommy Robinson in Italy physically attacking a black African man who had gone there as a refugee, and now he is doing this. Someone yesterday asked “why is Farage so successful” and the answer no one seemed to want to give was “a lot of people are very, very racist”
