Thread. (TLDR: the House of Lords DCC report on AI came down hard on the correct side of the debate, rather than siding with industry lobbyists.)

no such thing as other people's children

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo

Statistically you're safer from crime as a stranger amongst immigrants than you are around ICE. You're safer amongst drag queens than around pastors, especially as a child. You're better cared for by the poor than the rich. You're far safer with an immigrant as an intimate partner than a cop.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

“For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.” Damn.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

I assume that Zerzan, the DOT’s general counsel, has no idea that there are two more words after “flood the zone” in that saying, or how appropriate they are in this instance. 😑

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.

A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

They flashbanged a car full of kids. A car full of fucking kids.

That Grok still has payment processing, when everyone I know — artist or gamer or adult creator —lives in constant fear of deplatforming and debanking over the mere hint of impropriety, is utterly mind-blowing.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

a good quality in a leader is being able to recognize when you are entirely out of your depth

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

Yes, this please.

The courtyards analogy is apt. It highlights that everyone recognizes this dysfunction in the physical, but have not learned the same digitally yet.

GEORGE WILL: “.. The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.”
