U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem last week posted a photo of the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong, one of three activists who had entered a St. Paul, Minn. church to confront a pastor who also serves as acting field director of the St Paul Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office...

    They should have put the images side by side in the article instead of only linking to X (where they may even disappear).

    Looks like we’re going to end up a crossover of North Korea and Russia.

    All because conservatives hate America and enough others don’t give enough of a fuck to stop conservatives from destroying America.

      Those seeking truth are misled into lies. Those seeking things that fit their agenda or views find lies.

      It’s a pretty asymmetric balance. No matter how much more time we have collectively, Trump and MAGA don’t care. If we lie about what they will catch on to, I imagine it would be things they’d radicalize and self-validate them more. Everything else, they’ll disregard. Like they have been doing for years with founded reporting etc.

      They also have the centralized platform to propagate and promote.

    Today, German public broadcasting morning show was showing a supposed video of the one recently shot dead, supposedly kicking ICE cars and cursing at them and then being wrestled to the ground, and supposedly escaping afterwards. The movement looked strange to me, which made me suspect AI.

    Can anyone confirm whether such a video is in circulation and the validity of it?

    I most certainly wouldn’t be surprised if it were AI generated.

    The US government and everyone that stands behind it, they want to make those who fight against ICE look like dangerous creatures that roam the Earth and must be stopped. They want to look like they’re in total control, by making these fighters look desperate for their lives when they are arrested, by celebrating whenever one of them is killed. But most importantly, they want us to fight each other, so that we forget who is our true opponent on what is basically a war on our rights as human beings.

    I’m getting a lot of miles put of Orwell these days.

    This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

        Yes, it was corrected to what the party wanted it to have been. It really is a good book, you should give it at least a once over.

        You should actually read the book, or at least that part of the chapter.

        Edit: you can read the context, and the entirety of the book, for free here or at Project Gutenberg.

    My partner was fake edited in one of the DHS videos in Portland! He was wearing a moth man costume and dancing to EDM at the ICE center and they put fake smoke and filters over it to make him look scary lol… Absolutely ridiculous.
