"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

This is basically @jvl.bsky.social’s thesis of Trump
Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press
America sinks an unarmed ship taking part in a international gathering on the other side of the continent, killing dozens
Her reaction: "Welcome back to water warfare, baby!"
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

I'm redeploying all of our brave boys to Jupiter, for the mission-critical purposes of getting more stupider
Fund NYC libraries!
Tell Mayor Mamdani that you want 0.5% of the city budget for libraries. This is a VERY short form where you can do so.

Schwalm is right about one thing: What's unfolding in Minnesota is resistance, not protest.
It's peaceful resistance, but it's resistance. And it's growing.
Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:
we’re not getting hit with the imperial boomerang so much as we built an automatic imperial boomerang-throwing device and loaded thousands and thousands of boomerangs into it
If you're not in Minnesota and curious how to help, this is a week old but is well organized, includes multiple easy-to-understand bullet points, and seems like a good place to start: www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...
If you want to support community observers keeping people safe on the ground, North Star Health Collective is raising money for tourniquets and medical supplies. This is extremely concrete and immediate.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
Literally took two minutes! Please call!
You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.
Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c
1. continuing, not 1 off.
2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it
3. literally at hand of federal government, which is
4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.
important message to all bluesky users
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.
They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops
counterpoint: we should maintain if not increase the hateful rhetoric bc he is in fact a murderer
