It doesn't matter.

It won't change things.

Pissing on glimmers of hopefulness isn't tough-minded. It's just wallowing in a comfort zone.

Even if they release body cam footage, take off their masks, get more training, they are still responsible for detaining and deporting thousands of our family, friends & neighbors every day.
ICE doesn't need new rules. It needs to be dismantled entirely.

I can't stop thinking about Hank Green's question about how to break the echo chamber. Like him, MAGAt family members will watch fauxnews, buy what they're selling, and that'll be it. You can't talk to them or get them to see reality. We can disown them, but that doesn't scratch the echo chamber.

How soft this is. How weak. No calls for abolishment, no plan, no nothing but a slogan, and a weak slogan at that. It’s gormless, spineless, unready for not just this moment but unready for the last ten years.

So @bringmethenews.bsky.social has another, non-definitive angle on ICE murdering someone on Nicollet Mall. Unlike the video shot in Glam Doll, you can clearly hear the shots fired. (The site is loaded with ads & pop-ups, so it might take patience to load): bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

This shit infuriates me not only because it is sociopathic on its face, but because this morality-free, 30,000 foot framing *affects* how events affect elections! If voters constantly hear "meh, the ICE murders don't matter because polls haven't moved" then they won't matter!

And everyone needs to yell at the US Congress, especially the Republicans there, who are allowing this to happen. That's where the surrender has been happening first and most, as they abandon their power and the checks and balances the founders put in place.

Ewwwwww. Opened an email this morning and AI had a paragraph there, telling me what my email said! Gemini.
I thought I turned all that garbage off. I do not need AI telling me what my emails say. I'm perfectly capable of reading them. Gmail Gemini can shoot itself in to the sun.
