Nonchalant white people in this moment are the same ones Martin was talking about in that Birmingham jail.

it is incredible to see the extent to which the Sensible Centrists are simply incapable of grasping the very simple and obvious fact that the president's concern with crime is a pretext, and that to deny claims of a sudden epidemic in crime is not to say that crime is nonexistent.

Agreed! Though arguably they’ve been working their way to this point for quite a while. Things that would have produced loud outrage in other times barely make the news cycle now, and, for the most part, we just move along

As someone with many friends and family members who had direct experiences of dictatorship—and raised in a country grappling with the aftermath of a lengthy dictatorship, the texture of life on the ground just doesn’t often feel like an emergency, until those rare boiling up moments

People forgo something, they change small patterns, but they find ways to go on living and often forget that life could have been any other way. The dystopian images of authoritarian governments depicted by Hollywood usually represent small historical windows into peak moments of tension

The quality of life goes down, but the decay is usually felt quite slowly and gradually, unless it’s *your job* *your family* —never underestimate the human ability to adapt to awful circumstances and normalize pretty terrible things

Yeah, I think this what makes it hard for Americans who haven’t experienced autocracy elsewhere to realize—life under authoritarianism can still look like pleasant summers, bbq on the weekend, after work happy hour with friends—until snap, a coworker or family member goes missing

The queries have started about “What if I only used a little bit of AI for my story submission.”
The answer is, fuck AI. Uncanny Magazine doesn't want your story. There is no grey area here. Send us a story using AI for any aspect, it will be auto-rejected and you will be banned. Period.

I don’t know how you define “The left” and “centrists” —terms I didn’t use—so I’m inclined to avoid the trap of taking this up. It doesn’t address my comments.

INCREDIBLE! This is yet another US citizen charged with "assault" for supposedly impeding what ICE describes as yet another racial profiling incident! ICE was chasing "individuals" (eg Hispanics) who they had no idea whether they were here illegally when they ran over Andrea.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.

“A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.” Judge for yourself.

Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

TESLA: We rallied at the courthouse in Oakland CA where Tesla will finally be held accountable for a decade of dishonestly advertising their “self driving” cars. We made 53 headstones representing the 53 fatal Autopilot/FSD crashes… so far… but not one more life should be lost for Elon Musk’s profit

Bay Area friends, Gig Workers Rising is organizing a protest against surveillance pricing for platform-based drivers on July 1st in San Francisco ✊ 🚗

Surveillance pricing gives drivers NO transparency into how their hard work is valued. It's time for this practice to stop!

Is ICE invading your community, violating civil liberties, trampling on due process, and attacking your friends and neighbors?

Well, you can thank Palantir for providing them with the tech infrastructure and support to make that possible — it’s time to #purgepalantir
