"The worst of the worst". That's ICE.

The assholes in power are here because millions of Americans love this flagrant cruelty because it's deployed against the minorities they hate.

So it's not just the assholes in power; it's the millions who support them and put them into power to create atrocities.

To all the people on the left who are attacking Mamdani in the wake of the ICE shooting for having made nice with Trump: Thank you. If you can think of any other way to not help, please hesitate to give us a call.

Its bananas to hold your phone in one hand and your assault rifle in the other unless you are holding the assault rifle sideways like they do in movies to look cool.

"This is what Trump supporters have told us they all want, again and again. They want to see pregnant women get beat down in the street. They love it. They love to see blood from random innocent people. These people cheer on the obliteration of American cities at the behest of a drugged-up, senile old loser, simply because his words and actions provide them with a racist permission structure."

Dear White People, Speaking of Racist Permission Structure --

This is what's been wrought by inaction & looking the other way

I found another quip from HUNTER S THOMPSOM he said that in LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY they brag about handeling DESEGREGRATION with out violence. He said they went from SEPERATE BUT EQUAL to EQUAL BUT SEPARATE!

"M"'s avatar

Ahhhh — but there’s the trick, isn’t it? Separate in the United States was almost NEVER equal — and when it got close, White people made sure to drown the development

or burn it

or put a prison on top of it

or just murder its leader or first citizen

Wait, she posed as a substitute teacher just so she could come in and be racist?

People really need to rediscover the concept of hobbies. Stamp collecting might look nerdy, but I’d wager a lot fewer people have been victimized by it.

That 'No I.C.E.' poster is a gorgeous piece of graphic design. Apparently it is the work of artist Ryan Adams of Portland, Maine. https://www.wmtw.com/article/maine-businesses-protesting-ice-with-poster-made-by-local-artist/70065016, https://www.ryanwritesonthings.com

This is the cognitive error I think a lot of people make -- perceiving these horrendous actions as individual errors rather than looking at them as the things that near-inevitably occur within a created PERMISSION STRUCTURE for limitless bigotry and the violence based thereon

I would have thought Catholics and Protestants in Ireland would have learned to live with each other by now. I mean Martin nailed his shit on the door in Germany in 1517. Today there are over 3,000 flavours of Christianity in the world. I wonder if they get along with anyone?

Well, when English Protestants still control a chunk of your island they stole, you start to realize this less about the nuances of Christianity and more about good old colonialism.

ICE has surged into the southern half of California’s Central Valley again. They’re cruising the backroads through ag fields so they can attack the farm workers, again. At least one of these worthless fucks had to get piss blind drunk to keep living with himself and passed out in someone’s yard in Fresno’s Tower District (a not uncommon occurrence). Got found, attacked the 73 year old man who owned the yard, got himself shot and then arrested by the resident’s daughter’s cop boyfriend. Has been charged with assault.

Way to go, Fresno!

I'm about 50 miles east, but you can't get there from here.

Nor would you want to

My sister got a degree from Fresno State, so I have a bit of a soft spot for the place.

My whole famdamnly degeed at FSU (except me. I'm UNR).

I have a lifetime of good memories but not because it's fucking Fresno.

I almost had to move there from Eugene as a 15-y-o as my dad, an Episcopal priest, was offered a church there. We ended up going to Salem, which was bad enough after cosmopolitan Eugene, but Fresno? No thanky. It was hot as hell when we went to visit.

Brenden Cuni? 🤔

Hmmmm. Sorry to be crass, but his surname is one letter off of 'see you next tuesday.' The reports of past behavior support this. He's not just nasty, he's proactively so.

It used to be referred to as a “cunny.”

Impeachment isn't just for proper crimes, it is also for presidential acts that undermine the very character of a democratic government based on equal citizenship.

Just now Jamelle Bouie did a segment on how the demonstrated racism of a POTUS is an impeachable offense

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAdmH3rxDco

and apparently - this is just now hitting my feed; I didn’t know about this before I sat down - Fidelity has frozen charitable funds that were going to SPLC (whom Todd Blanche is suing), which is a tactic right out of the KKKlan in the 60s crippling Black-led civil rights organizations who were trying to help Black people to vote

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhwF9qtlQw0

So yes - yet again - all of a piece

Alternative Dog's avatar

Ugh. I donated to the SPLC when the DoJ announced their indictment so it's clear where my support lies, but my retirement funds from my 30 year career are in two corporate investment accounts with Fidelity and I really don't want to move them. I hate it that companies are caving in to the fascists.

Maybe you & some of your similarly situated accountholders (of course you canvass your people first) can let the institution know how you feel

It’s what a lot of folks who weren’t okay with what the large law firms did when they bent the knee to the regime

They took their business to other firms

I understand in this particular situation with a retirement account the penalties are potentially more substantial than if you’re a corporation with clout telling your law firm you’re no longer doing business with them because they’re basically not doing their jobs by acceding to Trump subversion & refusing to honor the Constitution, but …

just some things to chew on to start your brain turning on a creative solution

Maybe they need a prominent Op Ed that’s anonymous but that the writer says s/he’s writing on behalf of a thousand shareholders

Just … thinking out loud

"An Anthropic AI model sent a false homicide tip to Philadelphia police"

.

This is well and truly fucked.

And not only because the AI submitted a false homicide tip – but that it did so while the AI model "was conducting a test involving interactions with randomly selected websites". They are training the models to fuck with web sites and further enshitify the internet.

https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/09/an-anthropic-ai-model-sent-a-false-homicide-tip-to-philadelphia-police/

"An Anthropic AI model submitted a false tip about an unsolved murder to the Philadelphia police. The AI reportedly submitted this incorrect information to a public Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) tip line on July 18, but Anthropic didn’t discover the behavior until September 28. The police had not seen the tip because it was marked as spam."

“According to Anthropic, its model was conducting a test involving interactions with randomly selected websites when it accessed PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com and submitted false information concerning an unsolved homicide. The submission, dated July 18, 2026, at 11:27 p.m., purported to come from someone who might have information about the case,” the PPD said"

Well, that's it for me. Any day now Kegsworth gonna show up at my door with the 7th Air Cav with 'Proof' I lost us the Battle of Hue during the Tet Offensive in the War in Viet Nam. So later gang it's been nice talking to everyone! What ?....We did?....Oh yeah, we did!

Hey gang, nevermind, I just been told we actually won that battle! So yay us! But it was a big bloody mess for a long time and American people gave up supporting the war.

So I'm still safe!

You're safe until Claude discovers we actually DID lose that one or tells Sparkle Pony we did, and he'll believe it because he's about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.
