This is why I say that in the age of AI, it is imperative to be pro-human. Accuracy is not the measure of the value of literature. It is whether your intended audience, other humans, feel seen, recognized, moved by your work. This is what makes work human. This is not something AI can capture.

Nicola@nicodel.bsky.social

On the methodology, we should reject this kind of article immediately. Even accepting AI detection on its face, accuracy is not 100%. Without other proofs this is not investigative journalism, this is feeding the program material until you get a positive to smear. A positive that is bound to happen

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

“I’ve lost 28 lbs because I can’t afford to eat.” Since taking office, Trump has increased his net worth by $3B+ through insider trading and corruption. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans can’t afford to eat. The fact this is happening in the richest country on earth is disgusting.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

I’d like to give a Valentine to the whole city of Minneapolis. Hell, St. Paul too. I’m in a loving mood.

Happening now on 50th Street in Minneapolis. Lined up over a ten block stretch.

I’ve recently moved from a mostly in-office schedule (4 days a week) to a true hybrid schedule (2 days in office, 3 days remote) and while I’ve never been more productive, I will admit that there are distractions everywhere. I just strongly prefer the distractions I have at home.

Video shows agents disarmed Pretti before shooting him aiding shoved woman, yet Trump admin brands nurse assassin. Lies entomb heroism in fabricated frost. #StopMisinfo

A witness to the Alex Pretti murder by regime forces reports fearing for her life and potential retaliation by the Trump regime, and says she is afraid to return home. #3E #GoodvsEvil

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that. Hypothetically.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

People are being murdered because our politicians think their reelection campaign is more important than our lives

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

YOUR GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU. DOJ, DHS, and ICE have proven themselves unreliable narrators. Their claims are not facts; they are self-serving narratives meant to excuse lawlessness. Do not amplify propaganda. Listen to witnesses. Watch the video. Demand evidence.

Catherine reposted

This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability. Joining ICE does not give you license to murder. The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

🚨“You’re gonna have to kill me!" Minneapolis protester SCREAMS as swarm of Border Patrol agents pin him to the ground. "I have done nothing at all! I am a United States citizen! You're gonna kill me! That's what you want! You want to kill me on this street!" LIVE NOW ⬇️

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”

Nicole Bedera@nbedera.bsky.social

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
