Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

I love every source of my income being threatened and/or cut off this year

I would like to thank everyone writing about this who has cast me as an acceptable casualty from social spaces solely because I said something mean about this evil woman

Replying to @jeffsharlet.bsky.social

I think things like this are so important for people who don't see them transpire, or the videos of people's entire tent homes going into dumpsters. Interviewing people about what they lost in a sweep:

Asia Fields@asiafields.bsky.social

People who experienced homeless encampment sweeps in Washington state and Tennessee wrote about the impact it had on their lives. Our team @propublica.org added these to our page featuring stories from people across the country: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

I am a bit of a broken record on this, but are local DAs going to let this continue indefinitely? The ICE agents didn't have any kind of warrant, didn't identify themselves, and then recklessly started firing. Let them argue federal immunity.

Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves. And when he drove away, they opened fire on him. This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

As someone who is 30 or 40 years old and has been on the internet for decades now, I need you to internalise this advice: we should all know less about each other. Stop telling strangers on the internet every single thing about you

We asked people who experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments to write about it in their own words. In Portland, Teresa Stratton told us about how her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal:

"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

People need to get more comfortable with shame: you see a person in need and can't help. It feels bad. It SHOULD feel bad. The solution is not to invent some wild slander about them to quiet the little voice in your head screaming about how wrong it all is.

Listen. If we get through this? (And i do think we will get through this) I hope a lot if you internalize how -easy- it is to just call your reps and give em a piece of your mind. Theres more of US than there are those loudmouthed shitheads out there, we just gotta be loudmouths too.

something i tried today that seemed to get good mileage was using the "hey i saw this statement by Visa that said:-" as an opener, and then segueing it into "and i bring that up because i want to buy (mainstream thing that technically is against their content policy. ex: GoT)"

Suzanne ✨🌑@tendermiasma.com

There's a good tactic to keep them on the phone longer in here: Start by saying you're concerned about a statement that the processor has put out, and then read the entire statement without stopping. This will cause confusion and awkwardness if they just repeat it back to you, which they likely will

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

OK so I started this wayyyy back before I got diagnosed with carpal tunnel and had to go to OT and therefore couldn’t draw for a while and at this point idk if I’m ever going to finish it so here it is #haikyuu #kurootesturo #daishosuguru #haikyuukuroo #haikyuusuguru #haikuuufanart

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

The treatment of the TikTok ban might seem silly, but it is, effectively, a sign that the constitutional government we have operated under for more than 200 years is no longer in effect. Read the thread.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

NEW: In letters to companies with app stores, AG Pam Bondi purported to be "irrevocably relinquishing any claims" against them — Apple, plus Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and T-Mobile — for violating the TikTok ban. This is so, per Bondi, b/c Trump said it's OK, despite contrary language in the law.

In good news! Now plz plz plz plz plz call your House reps so the whole bill gets shot down in the final round of votes

Karla Ortiz 🔜 LBX@kortizart.bsky.social

Folks! The ban against states regulating AI is DEAD! It’s was voted 99-1! This victory belongs to us all! Unfettered GenAi is an issue for us all, and groups from all walks of life came together to demand we regulate! Your calls and action made the difference! So thank you everyone! We did this!

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.
