- Reposted by Claire WoodcockWe did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

- Reposted by Claire WoodcockMan this ad is hilarious. The ad for ChatGPT is that it’s a way to give you a vague way to not give up on running? This is why you assholes need $100 billion? This is why you owe Oracle $300 billion? youtu.be/cjveRUfE7dc?...
- Reposted by Claire WoodcockI’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

- Reposted by Claire WoodcockAnyone else watching the live press briefing with Bovino? He just announced that anyone who "interferes" with ICE, just by being present the scene, is fair game to be shot.
- Reposted by Claire WoodcockThe events of the last 24 hours show why it's important to build functional verification structures in public and counterpublic spaces to resist the authoritarian erosion of our democratic systems, as described in this thread.
- 🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones." MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

- Reposted by Claire WoodcockUPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”
- In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...
- Couldn't agree more (about the library beat/info access part). Tysm for reading!!
- Hats off to @404media.co for creating a public library beat. I worked at two public libraries in the past, and access to information has never been more fraught and delicate than now. 👏 This latest one about AV collections from @clurrese.bsky.social a great read: www.404media.co/the-last-vid...

- The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...
