Stark warning from @normornstein.bsky.social, political scientist and author

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

If the Democratic Party wanted to succeed in combatting Trumpism, they would make Zohran the de facto head of the party and follow his lead

"'You have to admit, AI is here to stay.' Well, no, I don’t. Not unless you say what you actually mean. What’s the claim you’re making? Herpes is here to stay too, but you probably wouldn’t brag about it."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Roberts is presiding over, and driving, a stunning collapse in faith in the U.S. Supreme Court, not just among the public, but among federal judges.

What a failure. The Titanic captain of chief justices.

What right wingers call ‘political bias’ is what was once called ‘political literacy’

The closure of the Iowa State Historical Society archive in Iowa City is a travesty. And part of a now-decades-long campaign of resentment and retaliation by state government against Iowa City and the University of Iowa 🗃️

Also because there is a massive mental health care provider shortage- many many people under significant duress are not getting support.

UNC just removed their long-standing space for the Black Student Movement to gather, in yet another stunning capitulation to the toddler-man’s anti-DEI demands.

The simple beauty of this decades old, imagined interface almost makes me weep. We are forced to use stone knives and bear skins with a splash of paint and advertising...

Ironic

RSF drone strike kills at least 60 in Sudan displacement camp

LLM AI exists to crush labour. That's not even my surmise, the people paying billions of dollars to fund this stuff are extremely open and explicit that this is their goal.

There are no ethical use cases for LLMs at this point in time. Maybe when the bubble has popped thoroughly. Not before.

ICE criminalizes survival.

In my latest conversation for @thenation.com, #BlackLivesMatter co-founder Patrisse Cullors unpacks the science behind movements — and why the fight for abolition is inseparable from the fight for a livable planet.

-$33 BILLION in military aid over 2 years
-$45 MILLION every day
-$144/month per every 🇮🇱 citizen from 🇺🇸

As 🇮🇱 has free health care, free college, subsidized child care… and we do not.

remember when you hear trump called a peacemaker that his government created a group whose sole purpose was to murder starving palestinians

A federal judge ordered the immediate release of a man “who went to [an] ICE office … for ‘a routine check-in’ on Aug. 22 and instead found himself bound and transported to the Plymouth County jail, where ICE planned to keep him locked up until they could figure out which country to send him to.”

“[A] federal judge in #Boston today ordered [ICE] to get a #Massachusetts man with serious medical problems out of a prison in Natchez, MS and bring him back to Massachusetts so that he can apply for the immigration equivalent of bail while he pursues his request to stay in the US permanently.”

Going to be difficult to not be on the hook as a party for troops not getting paid when you veto a standalone bill that would have allowed the troops to get paid.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying
