The city leadership did this to them. They didn't "run out", they fucking sold it to oil and gas companies because profits meant more than citizens being able to wash clothes or drink water. And they're not even shy about it. Someone got huge kickbacks to destroy that city. youtu.be/2QAARB4bNTE?...

"Colonialism is a leftist experiment" is the weirdest and dumbest shit I've seen in a while. Spouting absolute nonsense because a white guy feels victimized.

The post that got me the most hatred on the Old Site was that Israel is, in many ways, a leftist experiment and part of the reason leftists hate it so much is the don't like the result

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

Just bought a couple domain names and need to start building a website. If anyone who knows me on here is interested in that kind of thing, hit me up. No sure what my project scope is right now beyond a simple retail site, but I'd love to find someone to help me build something long term.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Certainly, the ongoing genocide in Gaza can't be a program of violence aided and abetted by many international partners. You know, like every other genocide committed in modern history.

Andy Daly@andydaly.bsky.social

I’m sure you could easily make an argument that 100 countries are committing genocide in Gaza if you really wanted to. I personally think that would be stupid and would strip the word of all its meaning.

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. Learn more: boltsmag.org/how-vol...

1. There has been a lot of attention, rightly, on the Trump administration disappearing immigrants to El Salvador But something that has gotten much less attention is the Trump administration WRONGFULLY DETAINING US CITIZENS they "suspect" are undocumented immigrants.

You are up to date.
