It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

There isn't a single young Jewish kid protesting for Palestine who doesn't know which river and what sea...and I can't decide if she is really that ignorant and doesn't know this (which means she doesn't know any Jewish kids) or if she is straight up lying on a public stage
Hillary Clinton sassing off "young Jewish Americans who don't know their own history" in a way that is disgustingly antisemitic. "They say from the river to the sea...they don't even know which river and which sea!" Fuck off.

like the most consistent position from elected Democrats is demanding to see the evidence to justify these strikes. that's not an anti-war position.
the Democratic Party has comprehensively failed to oppose either war with Venezuela or these boat strikes beyond a handful of statements and media hits about how one of them violates the rules of war.
I'm not saying they *support* it. but they are not even attempting to lead the opposition to it.

Of note for Detroit-area folks: The presence of Jim Farley of Ford and Antonio Filosa of Stellantis (the latter of whom seems like he wants desperately to escape, and his PR people should have warned him). Mary Barra of GM sent a (pro-Trump?) plant manager. Rep. Lisa McClain is a bad banana.
Ever mindful of the visuals, he gathers a giant group of old white people to surround him and support him while he spews his vile racist rants.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

It's the 20s and the head of Ford is promoting hateful false rhetoric aimed at expelling and killing a minority group.
OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them:
Ford CEO Jim Farley
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa
General Motors plant manager John Urbanic
National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota
Transportation Sec Sean Duffy
Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury

Just want to note that the Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins (pictured in the linked article) was confirmed 72-28. 18 Democratic Senators voted to confirm her, despite the fact that Rollins headed the America First Policy Institute, a group whose whole goal was to create the policy to enact Project 2025.
