Reupping this in light of the news that we keep finding rougue AI swarms

My AI company told me the AIs keep breaking out sandboxes & hacking people so I asked how many sandboxes he has & he said he just makes another sandbox & puts a new AI in it afterwards so I said it sounds like hes just letting AIs out to hack people then Sam Altman started crying

Eventful day at the first meeting of the new cuyahoga county democratic party central committee. The event was just going to be a swearing in and voting for a new chair but the power suddenly went out and the officers had to scramble to find a portable microphone.

JIF is King@creamyjif4ever.bsky.social

Calling Track AIPAC "a sleazy antisemitic smear operation" is extremely disingenuous. This mindless urge to throw accusations of antisemitism at people you simply don't like on a political level is one of the key reasons the word is losing its meaning. Be more careful in your language.

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

Imagine finding out that the government is issuing secretive orders to unearth your personal information and then sending federal agents to question you — all because you sent an email criticizing the life-or-death decisions the government makes. This is happening in the United States.

ms.nowOpinion | The Trump administration is using secretive orders to crack down on dissentSarah McLaughlin: The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly abusing oversight-free administrative subpoenas to chill protected speech.

ICE OUT

Pop Base@popbase.tv

Bad Bunny condemns ICE during his #GRAMMYs speech for Best Música Urbana Album: “Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say, ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are humans and we are Americans.”

the mods may struggle with the THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND new anti-ICE resistance members. but ICE, numbering a paltry 3000, will be annihilated by them

doug@goodkid-saadcity.bsky.social

there’s 12000 people in the signal chats by one estimate and 34000 just signed up in some form or another to start the observer training process. I’m not sure your organizing community is equipped to handle things on that scale

I haven't been in an occupied areas, but so far I haven't done anything illegal, and my preparations for the possibility of the regime coming to my city have all been for legitimately lawful and peaceful activities, and I frankly don't have the tech or other savvy to avoid getting on lists 1/3

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I’m so glad you went. I had many people ask me - “is it safe? Should I leave my phone and ID at home? Do I need an exit strategy?” We’re building this bizarre and paranoid civic culture based almost entirely on miasmatic online fear endlessly feeding itself. Selma marchers didn’t even mask!

ICE reportedly has a tool where they circle a geography and get the names of all the cell phone users within it. The key to defeating this technology is not "smashing your cell phone with a hammer" but "recognizing that having a list of 30 people who are recording you in public is not very useful"

Matunos@matunos.bsky.social

Everyone following ICE caravans can assume their identities are known to ICE. ICE routinely leads them to their own houses to make this point. They take pictures of them in the streets and put them in their db. They're recording with cell phones that can be easily tracked.

Backing up The Argument in NYT/Siena, Gen X still has an astonishing 49% approval for Trump (!), while Boomers have dipped to 42%. Gen X is currently tracking at 12 pts to the right of the electorate on the generic ballot. Now 9 pts to the right of Boomers, which has to be the largest gap ever.

It’s not quite true to say nothing has changed, I think. Bovino had a particularly paramilitary style, where he’d roll around in force and tear gas entire neighborhoods, and we haven’t seen that. But ICE is still swarming and if anything aggression against observers has increased.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?
