Public libraries shutting down to remove books “in secret” because of ideological pressure is not democracy at work. Using grants and administrative leverage to force political conformity in a public institution meant to serve everyone is an intimidation tactic.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table.
Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families.
Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more.
A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

Oh great. Clink clink! You’re going to the psych ward off AI’s nuanced humane interpretation of your convo with your therapist. Cops are on their way. Don’t bother gathering your things, you won’t need them where you’re going.
I find it appalling that therapists are even using AI for their notes and emails.
If AI scribes are used in practice settings, no transcript nor recording should be stored or accessible to anyone after the appointment. The privacy risks are way too big for this to be a point of compromise. Companies like mdhub.ai and Therapy Notes need to be very tightly regulated and audited.

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

She's a nurse & grandmother who had been here for 30 years
She had a work permit
She was taken when she went to her annual ICE check-in
She was shipped to Ghana, where she was dragged on the floor.
She was then shipped to Sierra Leone, from which she had fled, and *despite a court order.*

he’s a deeply ignorant, horrifically needy egoist who wants to get sole credit for sending people checks, so he’s going to immiserate millions and possibly kill thousands by destroying the heath insurance system.
NEW: Donald Trump says he wants ACA funds to end after 2025
“I’d rather not" extend them, he tells reporters on AF1. "I don’t want to extend them for two years. I’d rather not extend them at all."
He wants cash to go "directly" to people. Unclear how that'd work.
