I'm not mad that some folks are having their ACAB awakening because of Renee Good.

If the murder of a nice queer white lady from Minneapolis is what convinces more people that ACAB because they are a boot of the state, great. Welcome, newbie.

But understand this: get up to speed *quickly.*

ICE/feds and cops are under the same problematic State Hammer umbrella. They have ALL been used against liberation movements and the people who live on the margins of hegemony.

And now, for this political moment, that hammer is going to begin coming down on white folks who decide to ally themselves with their neighbors vs the State.

So let's be clear:

Our struggle might be *shared* but they are not the *same.* Newbies need to learn that distinction.

Ok. Carry on.

This is what I'm talking about when I say we have a "non-descript oppressed identity problem"

Latin people are 99.9% of the victims of ICE and not mentioned once. In a list of victims.

Why can't we just say it?

Great post otherwise. Also, fuck ICE. This is terrible.

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings:

"The Wall Street Journal has identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles since July, leaving at least eight people shot with two confirmed dead.

There are political event horizons in our history—moments where our actions or inactions determine the likelihood of change.

After Sandy Hook, when we didn't burn it all to the ground, we made gun reform all but impossible.

After George Floyd, when we stopped marching because they painted a street, bye-bye police reform.

This is that moment for ICE. If even now we can't get cultural leaders to demand we abolish #ICE, we're signally that this is acceptable.

Dear people in #minneapolis, our public broadcasting news in Germany just reported from today's protests, interviewed locals and concluded with the reporter saying "the overwhelming vibe of people on the streets resisting #ICE, despite fear, is 'now more than ever' ".

This is so telling.

I really wanted to avoid the "people only care because the victim was white" argument. It's messy. Other factors at play. And frankly, people don't like hearing that so it's not a good argument to get folks on your side.

But "Take their guns away" as a solution is so surgical. It ensures that white people won't ever get hurt again, but all other violence can continue.

We're out here breaking our backs not to say #AbolishICE I hate it.

in 1980 i was 14 years old, an age when a lot of dioceses start targeting girls to replenish their nunneries.

as a born and bred Catholic girl, i was nun-curious. the school assigned me nunnery counselors, one of them a Mariknoll nun.

I WANTED TO BE A MARIKNOLL NUN; so i remember vividly how Reagan vilified the nuns & Theology of Liberation teacher martyred in El Salvador.

LOL. So Discord put out a survey on what users thought of AI…

It was up for a couple hours at most, then closed.

Assume the meeting on Monday will go like this.

“None of this is what we wanted to hear.”

The person that made the list of FOSS projects that welcomed generative "AI" contributions and provided pointers to alternative projects was harassed about it? That's total garbage!

I guess we should just make a list of FOSS projects that take a strong stance against generative "AI", and leave it at that. 🤔

If your project ain't on the list, we'll be able to draw the appropriate conclusions.

How The Professional Managerial Class Stand In The Way Of Progress:

"They were defined by Barbara and John Ehrenreich as a group of vanguardists on the liberal left in 77 who were completely taking over left liberal organizing spaces like the democratic party. and what they saw was this professional manager-class dominance of liberalism at the expense of working-class people and working-class interests." https://youtu.be/xGqHdD68A3Q
