10·1 个月前You’re acknowledgeing and simultaneously ignoring the main point, in that the Federal Communications Commission threatened ABC’s license over this. This is quite literally a 1st amendment/gov’t censorship issue - not a platform simply enforcing their often shitty ToS.
And the main idea about pressuring these large platforms in the past about moderating and/or removing certain speech, was that the types of speech that folks were advocating to have removed was speech that quite often led to real-world violence when it was able to propagate en masse.
You can also see the same ideas here on Lemmy. Several of the servers that are most prolific in their spread of hate speech have been de-federated from most of the rest of the servers.
There are plenty of authors, journalists and anti-fascist researchers over these last ten years who’ve had the unfortunate job of wading neck-deep into the online platforms that DO allow that kind of speech so that they can document and track how those fascist ideals spread, and who is spreading them. THEY are typically the ones screaming the loudest about the need for some form of community based moderation and/or censorship of certain ideas.
Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend.
What the actual fuck…
The City of Portland believes the federal government violated detention conditions of its land use approval 25 times in a 10-month period, according to federal records. Next steps could include fines or a land use hearing. Published September 17, 2025 1:55 pm
Following an investigation, the City of Portland will send a land use violation notice this Thursday for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Southwest Portland – launching a process to determine whether the site’s detention practices comply with the conditions of the site’s land use approval.
Federal government records from a 10-month period show more than two dozen detention policy violations of the facility’s land use conditions of approval with the city, which does not allow detainees to be kept overnight or held for more than 12 hours. The notice also references a second violation related to boarded windows, which is not associated with the land use approval.
A conditional land use approval has been in place since 2011, shortly after the building owner for 4310 S. Macadam Ave. secured a long-term lease with the General Services Administration for two agencies associated with ICE. The site includes a processing center where federal officers detain and interview people to determine their legal status as U.S. residents.
Like ICE sites in many U.S. cities, Portland’s South Waterfront facility has attracted attention since the current presidential administration ramped up immigration enforcement.
In response to formal complaints, the city’s permitting bureau launched an investigation in late July. The City reviewed data released to the Deportation Data Project, a nonprofit that leveraged the Freedom of Information Act to request information about all ICE processing centers.
Records indicate that detainees were held beyond the facility’s 12-hour limit or kept overnight 25 times between October 1, 2024 and July 27, 2025. The most recent violation during that period took place on May 20.
“U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement made clear detention limitation commitments to our community, and we believe they broke those policies more than two dozen times,” said Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, who oversees the City’s administration. “I am proud of our team for conducting a thorough, thoughtful investigation, and referring the matter to the next steps in the land use violation process.”
Under land use permitting rules, a landowner or operator has 30 days after receiving a notice of violation to correct the issue. If there is substantial evidence of violation, a fine can be issued. Portland Permitting & Development can also initiate a “reconsideration” of a land use approval by scheduling a hearing at least 60 days after the notice. Once the hearings officer makes a decision, it can be appealed to the Portland City Council by any interested party.
While the matter progresses, ICE can continue to operate under its existing land use approval.
Because Portland is a sanctuary city, city employees – including police officers – do not enforce federal immigration law or use city dollars and equipment to do so. Portland Police cooperate with ICE agents only as directly required by federal law.

2·2 个月前Thank you for pointing this out. It seems that you are correct. I’ve edited my original comment
Can’t remember if it was part of that thread, or a comment on it… but there was a suggestion that they likely don’t care about the case itself, rather they’re more concerned about crafting and maintaining the narrative. Based on how this week has played out, I can’t say that I’d disagree
I read a
great thread on Bluesky earlierdetailing how many times Kash Patel may have completely botched this case by all the stupid things he’s said on FOX today. Definitely worth a read!*Edit to add
Skyview thread unroll link*Edit #2: it was pointed out in the comment below that many folks in the thread I linked are calling into question the OOP’s claims and professional background. After a brief view myself, there is at least one person within those comments whom I do believe when they say its “full of errors”
I’m leaving my original comment up for now for posterity sake, but I am more than willing to remove it if that would be more appropriate.
2·2 个月前Pretty sure there was at least 2 otherbands around or right after the Johnny Hobo days… I can’t remember what they were tho cuz I was having issues finding any recordings back when I had heard about em
I just heard about this pretty recently myself. Haven’t listened to all of it yet tho, just a quick skim thru.
If you or anyone else is interested in his prior material, here is a Google doc with tons of links to his old bands’ tunes
E: I did not make the doc, it was shared with me some years ago
2·2 个月前No doubt. I also just now realized what was actually happening here in this /c and left my contribution to it lol
65·2 个月前TLDW: lawyers from the NLG advising everyone to “Shut the Fuck Up”
Give me a few minutes and I’ll edit this with a transcription.
Oh Hello. We were just talking about you kids.
I’m Denise Heberle. And I’m Bill Goodman. Together we’ve been fighting fascism for over 50 years.
And so much has changed over those 50 years, such as the ingredients to a successful fire b*mb. And the glass that bank windows are made of.
But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed over 50 years, something that is so important to tell you kids who are new to this movement…
SHUT THE FUCK UP
You’re sitting in the police transport van after a protest?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
In a holding cell with your comrades?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cop knocks on your door?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Texting on an unsecured device?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Pulled over by the cops after a protest?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cop just asking about your day?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Feds call your mom?
Tell your mother to…
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Now, repeat after me…
When the cops come calling, what do you do?
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Fuck yea! I got their track “Class Struggle” on a playlist and I’ve been meaning to check out more of their tunes.
You should both check out and cross post this to slrpnk.net/c/music I feel like you’d maybe enjoy the tunes there
Wishing y’all all the best
This Bluesky account posts ICE flight data daily
21·2 个月前Reminds me of this case in New York…
A lot of cities and areas have been setting up mutual aid groups and hotlines for people to call. I would do a search online for those that may be in your area.
I don’t know much about the specifics, but I know there are searchable databases that ICE keeps with detainee’s info and location of detention. You will need their full name, date of birth, and country of origin at the very least but likely additional info as well. Warning tho, there’s also been many reports of ICE not properly adding every detainee into these searchable systems, so keep that in mind…
Edit: here is a link: https://locator.ice.gov/odls/
Edit2: info from the National Immigration Law Center https://www.nilc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/How-to-Locate-a-ICE-Disappearance.pdf
They’ve recently decided, amongst themselves in their own memos at least, that “Violence is anything that threatens DHS agents and their safety. It is doxing them. It is videotaping them where they’re at.”
So yea, I’m not really surprised at the ever-growing amount of absurd “assault” claims that continue to be thrown out in court
