REFUSE. TO. COOPERATE. Do not capitulate. Fight fascism. 🖕🏼ICE.
When I first saw what Trump did to the Rose Garden my first thought was that in some respects Trump isn’t like Hitler at all.
Hitler built things, Trump destroys them. Hitler wanted his country to be respected, Trump is making us the laughing stock of the world. The SS wore uniforms, ICE doesn’t.
Bitcoin mining and data centers are consuming the water and electricity needed by their communities and no one is doing anything to control their activities. Why? Money. Money will always matter more to governments than people.
Since anyone can buy an outfit sufficient to pretend to be ICE to commit crimes like rape or kidnapping, as some already have, it won’t be long before there’s a fatality because we have no way to ensure who’s ICE. That’s why we require LEOs to wear uniforms and identification.
ICE could not be committing their fascist and unconstitutional crimes if Congress and/or the SCOTUS were doing their jobs of supporting the Constitution.
But they aren’t.
They’ve allowed Trump to reduce our 3 branch government to one, the executive.
I take comfort in thinking about how beautiful the Earth will be again once we’re gone.
Those apocalyptic movies about the planet after man don’t appreciate how resourceful Earth can be when not being harassed.
I’m very concerned that we’re entering a reality in which we will no longer know what’s real and what isn’t.
I’ve worked with mis- and disinformation. This time we’re doing it to ourselves.
The vast majority of Ai and deep fake falsities and regime fantasies are destroying trust and reality.
We live in a world where competition is more important than cooperation.
To be a good competitor you need to beat the other team, you need to express your superiority.
Competition pits us against each other. Cooperation teaches us to rely on and support each other.
Edict on homelessness
Saturday, July 26, 2025
Josh lays it out. bsky.app/profile/j… Trump is criminalizing homelessness to make sure that he doesn’t run out bodies to fill those private prisons his buddies run. Then all prisoners will become slave labor. He’s already raising prices to where, eventually, more and more people will go broke and wind up on the streets, then prison. Read it and get pissed off. www.whitehouse.gov/president…
I guess there haven’t been any caravans of drug-dealing, gun-running, gang members at the border in 6 months.
Good thing, too, because the Border Patrol is busy assisting ICE in rounding up U.S. citizens in Los Angeles.
Isn’t kidnapping and disappearing people, then refusing to disclose their locations, all without any charges or trials, a violation of international law?
Aren’t those things the U.N. should condemn as human rights violations.
If they won’t then what purpose does it serve?
The oligarchs are no doubt disappointed by the ineptitude of their front man. But I believe their long term focus is still on owning the world.
It sucks for humanity that in striving for that goal they’re going to destroy the planet.
Homan wants to get more “people” off the street.
Sunday, July 20, 2025
Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said there are about 60,000 beds currently available for detained immigrants and the goal is to expand to 100,000. “We’re looking for any available bed space we can get that meets the detention standards we’re accustomed to,” Homan said Friday. “The faster we get the beds, the more people we can take off the street.” That last sentence should concern us. He says “people”, not criminal illegal gang members.
I know damn good and well that we defeated racism and Islamaphobia, too many people in America would find some other group of people to hate. Americans, with a lot of help from Christianity, have been raised to think we’re better than anyone else. Everyone else is inferior to us, hating them is OK.
There are some atrocities being committed by the regime to exact revenge for Trump’s perceived insults, then there are those enacted to further to goals of Project 2025 and the oligarchs. The first will end with the end of the fuhrer’s reign. The others will continue and increase.
As much as I’d love for something like the Epstein files to bring down and disgrace Trump, I’m more concerned about the ideology he’s introduced. This fascist regime is more than just one man.
I remember when we looked forward to having more free time to be creative once robots, now Ai, took over some of the most labor intensive and mind numbing jobs. Now I worry that as automation replaces humans in vital jobs, humans will become slaves to the oligarchy.
There are billion dollar infrastructure projects in other countries, connecting islands with underground tunnels or using architecture to modernize cities, and then look at how we’re misusing the same amount of money while our cities are falling apart, and I wonder why we think we’re great.
This 4th of July will not be a day for celebrations but for protests, organized and loud. Get media coverage.
This 250th year of our nation will either be the last as a democracy or the first as a nation rededicated to equality, justice, and the rule of law.
The Perils of Technology
Wednesday, June 18, 2025
The cell phone wasn’t developed to spy on its users. But eventually nefarious characters, once they understood the capabilities of cell phones, noticed what a good spying and tracking device it was. It’s the same with the WWW and Internet. Good intentions at the start, now corrupted into near uselessness. I’m beginning to distrust every new technology. Especially those who watch and listen constantly. Amazon Echo, Google Hub, and soon a similar offering from Apple.
