The dust has not even settled from the announcement that ICE will be receiving more funding than the entire US prison system, and that a new concentration camp is opening in Florida, and already Trump is announcing he will deport US citizens.
The New York Times completely failed in its effort to upend Zohran Mamdani. They are unable to understand his wide support because they refuse to acknowledge the rage surging through the Democratic base over Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

So, ICE is getting $75 billion in funding in this spending bill.
There's a directive to build a ton of new private prisons which are effectively concentration camps. Actually let's remove the "effectively". They ARE concentration camps, under nearly any definition of that term.
So why do people keep getting swept up for nearly no reason whatsoever? It's about quotas. 🧵
When you have a system like this, what we are looking at is a well funded set of slots and quotas, a promise of numbers.
And you know what happens with this. You know what it's like for you or someone else to get pulled over for a bullshit speeding ticket at the end of the month. The cop has been given a quota to fill. They'll be in trouble if they don't fill it. They *have to find* people who are in trouble, or *they'll* be in trouble. 🧵
We are looking at maybe the most well funded goon squad / gestapo / secret police style system of all time. They've made the spaces for it, they have the directive to fill them.
Who's going in the prisons? Who is "breaking the rules", including under the new rules they're setting up?
Is it you?
Is it someone you love?
Is it someone you don't know directly, but someone you know indirectly?
This is where things are going. That's what's at stake.
I'm well aware of a host of nightmares ready to be loosed upon our dying world by the christian nationalist oil capitalists.
The question really is what are effective strategies to resist?
There's the easy stuff like contact congress or protest, but after those fail, what's next?
Flee the country? Boycott big tech and the oil industry? Switch to the untaxable underground economy? Disappear into the wilderness or forgotten warrens of cities and go off grid? Take over small towns and turn them into independent city/states? Engage in direct economic or military sabotage?
If a countries economy breaks, the central government's ability to project power declines. Running armies and keeping the loyalty of secret police does require resources.
I was telling my spouse the other day... your "crime", whether you're highly visible or not, doesn't matter. You build a system and give it quotas, it's going to find you.
They're looking to imprison/deport US citizens next. "Bad people" that were "born in our country". Not just immigrants or brown folks, *anyone* they don't like.
and given that they were just promoting the showers at the newest one in Florida, they know exactly what they're doing and their base is rabidly lapping up the dog whistles.
(And if someone denies the dog whistles are happening, ask them why else would they have just hyped erecting two *88* foot tall flagpoles at the White House?)
Concentration camps are bad, but I'm more worried about Trump just having a lawless, obedient, and cruel army at his disposal. SS is no longer a metaphor, it's an analogy to help people understand what could actually happen.
trump also attended the opening of one in the everglades recently, the purpose of putting it there ofc is so that the wildlife will kill them if they try to flee thehandbasket.co/p/alligator-a…

Cheers everybody 🍻 enjoying a bottle of La Chouffe Blonde untp.beer/Mwlb1 This is incredibly easy drinking which makes it very dangerous at 8% and also on a hot day. I'm surprised that I've never logged this before TBH
A sweet Belgian blonde beer. Yeast and fruity notes, with some strong banana flavours, make this beer a very easy to drink. Be careful: very chuggable but at 8% that is dangerous.
HHS eliminates CDC staff who made sure birth control Is safe for women at risk tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld… Sweeping HHS layoffs in late March and early April gutted the CDC’s reproductive health division, upending several programs designed to protect women and infants - including those with underlying medical conditions - a move that will endanger the health of women and their babies. #Tucson #Arizona
Fuck you, Chuck. "For decades, Schumer’s campaign coffers have bulged while he has been hugely compensated by Wall Street. He has also remained a staunch supporter of Israel, despite its systematic ethnic cleaning and genocide against Palestinian people. A few months ago, Schumer declared: “My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.”" nationofchange.org/2025/06/30/…
Ok think I have worked out how to make a patch? I copied the swayfx port to my home dir and edited the Makefile just changing the version up by 1 for a test. Then did:
justine@justine@snac.smithies.me.uk-laptop ~/Documents/ports/swayfx $ diff /poudriere/ports/default/x11-wm//swayfx/Makefile Makefile 2c2< DISTVERSION= 0.5.3---> DISTVERSION= 0.5.4This would be correct would it ???
Sorry #Lufthansa, das ist total daneben. In einer historischen und für Tausende tödlichen #Hitzewelle werbt ihr mit sowas?! In den Alpen gerade überall Murgänge, in Brandenburg Waldbrände, weltweit schreckliche Fluten - aber wir sollen weiterfliegen und das karibisch finden?
Und das, während ihr notabene gerade die Senkung der Beimischung von klimafreundlichen Kraftstoffen und Steuern erfolgreich mit der #CDU in den Koalitionsvertrag lobbyiert habt? Schämt euch.

1993 erzählten die großen Energieversorger in bundesweiten Anzeigen und dann auch die Bundesumweltministerin Angela Merkel, dass Sonne, Wasser und Wind auch dauerhaft nicht mehr als 4% beitragen können.

HR: "Do you have a moment? We just want to ask you about your self-assessment?" Me: "Sure." HR: "So, for 'personality type', we were expecting something from Myers-Briggs. You know, like ENJF." Me: "Oh?" HR: "You selected 'Other' and filled in, 'Chaotic Good'." Me: "Yes, that's right." HR: "Why?" Me: "Because I use the term 'fortnight' as often as possible in communications in a US-based company, replace 'z's with 's'es, and convert dates everywhere to ISO8601." HR: "Well yes we can see how that would be classified as 'Chaotic Good', but we were expecting something grounded in science." Me: "So why were you asking for Myers-Briggs?"

Altersumfrage: Wie alt sind die Leute hier im #Fediverse?

Ja, man muss sich zwar anmelden (Daten!), aber jede andere Petition danach ist mit nur zwei Klicks zu unterschreiben/unterstützen. Und es sind "echte" Petitionen, mit denen sich der Bundestag befassen muss, wenn das Quorum erfüllt wurde..
Der US-Senat hat heute einem Trump-Gesetztespaket zugestimmt, dass Reiche steuerlich um ein paar Billionen Dollar (!) entlastet und gleichzeitig — um zu sparen — 12 Millionen Menschen aus der Krankenversicherung wirft. Und letztlich ist das nur Linnemann und Merz konsequent zu Ende gedacht.

We need less America in general. They are undergoing a collapse right now, and even at the best of times their values weren't particularly beneficial to the rest of the world.
Now their influence only serves as a conduit for that collapse to disrupt or spread around the world. America is about to experience potentially the roughest couple decades since the Civil War, and nothing desirable is going to come out of that.
Maybe it's time to take a break from them until this passes.
They're now working on how to automate the buying of their products and services. Insurance companies benefit from laws requiring us to buy insurance. Musk and Bezos are working toward laws that force us to buy their services and products.
@Badged_Patriot My one & only concern about the BBB is that overtime & no tax on tips are deductions which means you have to itemize to get it. Am I understanding that right? Because if so I don't think many people who get tips or work their buttons off on overtime will have enough to itemize

@chanon Rhode Island is a blue state. I'm surprised he got beat up. What cop gets shot with his own service weapon? Hence the beating. What an embarrassment.
@Zennagain They should probably investigate the arrest, but my sympathy for a murderer is pretty sparse. If he beat up an interrogator, stole his sidearm, and killed him with it, then I wouldn't put it past him to fight violently when being apprehended. What more does he have to lose at that point? @PNS
Slovakia will ask to postpone a new package of sanctions against Russia until it receives guarantees from the European Union on the issue of minimizing damage from stopping imports of Russian gas, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said.
