My coworker’s in-law was recently kidnapped by ICE. He’s a father of two and has been living in the US since he was nine years old. They’re currently fighting to get him out, but the legal fees are expected to cost thousands. If you’re able to, please share and donate to help get him out and reunite Adrian with his family!!

If you're looking for a good, centralized collection of fundraisers for people and organizations doing on-the-ground work in Minnesota right now, someone on Bluesky put together a great resource hub for things like food support, rent relief, mutual aid, and immigrants' rights centers that I'd really love to see spread around.

And if you're local to the Twin Cities, there's a "Take Action" section with links to ways to get active, as well as some resource guides for legal observers, etc.

Those of us here in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area appreciate every bit of support we can get right now, especially with the federal government cutting off things like SNAP benefits for Minnesotans and threatening further retaliation. Keep us in your thoughts, and maybe pick a cause to support, if you can.

Reblogging to add that the person who put this together has turned it into a full-fledged website, if that's any easier to spread around!

not to sound dramatic but either we all die because of us imperialism or us imperialism has to die

There's a Wikipedia article for the bean soup incident...

BREAKING: 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by ICE. he just spoke about how he’s blind for life and almost died:

“I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.”

What the hell is wrong with these people?

yall know human trafficking isnt just sex trafficking right? right????

The MAJORITY of human trafficking is for labor; factory work, garment/textile work, agricultural work, construction, and domestic work/cleaning.

And that's without counting -legal- human trafficking: Prison labor.

is it a hot take to say that i think you need to understand why something is bad, not just that it simply is?

this is a part of the problem

you need to be able to explain why you shouldnt use ai rather than “oh well its obviously bad and you shouldnt use it or else youre a bad person” because that isn’t logic. “ai generates child porn based off of real children and whether or not it does is entirely up to how it is built and if pedophiles are able to find ways around those safeguards, because ai cannot in itself discern right from wrong” is a genuine criticism. “amazon tried to build a data center the size of tuson outside of tuson just to power their ai that would’ve increased the inability to stay alive outside in parts of arizona” is a genuine criticism. even “using generative ai teaches you not to learn how to do things yourself even when they’re difficult, devaluing necessary skills out of practice” is a genuine criticism when you look at the amount of people who think they are able of doing a difficult major when they couldnt write their own papers in high school.

but “ai is just bad because it’s bad” will convince no one and is a morally lazy position to take. about anything!

you need to know why reading someone’s diary is wrong if you want to learn about privacy and respect. you need to know why child sexual assault is wrong if you want to be able to help children form healthy age appropriate relationships. you need to know why capitalism is bad if you want to replace it with something else. you need actual concrete ideas and ideologies rather than “you should agree with me because i have the right vibe”

Last night I had a dream that I was invited to some kind of sith or empire dinner party and after I got there I ended up wandering into the kitchen and Palpatine was straight up cooking a chicken with force lightning

The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be…unnatural.

I had to draw it…

i'm of the opinion that the depp/heard trial didn't change peoples' perspective on female abuse survivors but gave them a chance to express the violent misogyny they already harbored. similar to men who speak violently about "onlyfans girls", they're overjoyed when they find an acceptable target. the depp/heard trial just revealed how widespread the issue is, and created an environment where it's even more acceptable to degrade survivors. i've heard someone say in real life "how do we know [rape victim] isn't another amber heard".
