A trend I’ve noticed after having watched too many of these despicable ICE arrest videos is when bystanders demand they let detainee go, an officer suggests they’re being picked up for a serious crime to try and deter help. But we know that’s not true of a vast majority of people and the jig is up.

It is not too late for you to start wearing a mask in public.

It is not too late for you to start advocating clean air.

It is not too late for you to learn how to build your own air filters or to tap in with folks already doing so.

They want you sick. They want your neighbors sick. Tell them no.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Hi friends!

We got leftover tune it out shirts from our last tour! Lots of unexpected expenses came up both from our tour and within my own life, and would be cool if folks grabbed a shirt to help support!

The tune it out shirt is black with a red, yellow, and white design. The design is vintage technology like. An old computer, alarm clock, phone camcorder, etc all arranged with the text “the way you tune it out” in the top left corner

If teachers are told using AI technologies creates time to spend developing relationships with students, and the report’s findings suggest AI technologies undermine these vital relationships, then it seems to me resistance and refusal of AI technologies is the most caring response.

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 3d

“One of the negative consequences AI is having on students is that it is hurting their ability to develop meaningful relationships with teachers, the report finds. Half of the students agree that using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teachers.”

Rising Use of AI in Schools Comes With Big Downsides for Students

A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology looks at teachers' and students' experiences with the technology.

The erosion of civil rights for any community is the erosion of civil rights for all. The fact you can’t see that shows you are the one who lacks long term thinking.

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview With Lois Lane" A story about hope and connection ☀️(1/4)

A comic cover for a fan comic. The cover portrays Superman carrying Lois Lane (she is depicted as a Southeast Asian woman in a purple office suit and skirt).

Superman sets Lois down gently as she says, ‘That’s going to take some getting used to.’ The two are far from the city, in a roadside canyon with a view overlooking Metropolis. Standing in front of a fence with Metropolis and a sunset-colored sky in the distance, Superman asks, ‘The flying?’ Pulling something from her pocket, Lois says, ‘Oh, that and everything. Let’s get to it, shall we?’

The item she pulled from her pocket turns out to be a recorder device, which clicks on as she says, ‘This is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet, interviewing the elusive Superman. The date is – nevermind, let’s cut to the chase.’ He looks somewhat surprised as Lois paces around. She says ‘Although some feel that you’ve made your intentions clear to Metropolis through your acts of heroism and good will … others feel that the way you’ve avoided giving an official statement has led to speculation and worry.’

She holds the recorder up to him and asks, ‘So why speak up now, Superman?’ He pauses before responding.

Superman smiles and says, ‘Well … because I’m ready to talk.’

Looking incredulous, Lois asks, ‘Can you explain why you feel “ready” to talk.’

Now floating a few feet off the ground, he replies, ‘I guess … people have always been nosy about me, even before I started flying. Lately it’s like every other day someone’s trying to figure out who I am and how I’m like this.’

He finger guns in her direction and says, ‘Why, you were the most gutsy about investigating me, Ms. Lane. Didn’t you pitch that one theory about my strength being the result of a lab accident—’ She cuts him off- blushing in embarrassment as she says, ‘Okay, listen!’

They’re just gonna do a little lite slavery.

In addition, the new rule allows farm employers to charge H-2A workers for their housing, which was not allowed before. "It's a way for employers to continue to house workers and also charge them, and bring down effective wages," said Marcos Lopez of the Labor and Community Center at the University of California, Davis.

Thinking about that white, wannabe-"momfluencer" who made up a story about a Hispanic couple circling her like vultures, whispering about how beautiful her kids were, and following her to the parking lot to execute a kidnapping attempt.

Like.

You know that's how people have gotten lynched, right.
