AI systems are making decisions about who gets a loan, receives a job offer, is eligible for parole, and more — and often in ways that have a disparate impact on protected groups.

To ensure safety, trustworthiness, and non-discrimination, Congress must pass the AI Civil Rights Act.
AI is Infringing on Your Civil Rights. Here’s How We Can Stop That | ACLU
By supporting the AI Civil Rights Act of 2025, Congress can take a monumental step to protect our civil rights in the digital age.

It’s all designed to destroy the system from within. They are doing Putin’s work.

They are traitors to our Constitution.

With the new U.S. national security strategy (“NSC-88”), I think it is high time to ban Twitter in the EU altogether. At the very least, what the ever loving hell are our politicians doing there anymore?

They provide material for a system that will be used to attack us.

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

whilst you and I struggle with imposter syndrome
SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

My story:
Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role
Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, “the heart of what FEMA does.”

#NAFO Well, since we’re already such close people: as a Ukrainian, I’m very unhappy with the results of the U.S. election. The U.S. needs a re-election for it to be a democratic country again.

I would beg to differ on the not breaking any laws part. They’ve broken plenty.

I am hoping that eventually this will affect enough people that they will realize what they’ve done … and it won’t be too late.

Today is the four year anniversary of Starbucks Workers United unionizing its first store.

Since then, they've won over 650 union elections but Starbucks still hasn't negotiated a fair union contract.

Until then, don't cross the picket line. Show solidarity like Bernie and Zohran.

Of course Donald Trump says the Russia thing was a hoax. He’s not going to admit to treason, although he’s so fucking stupid he just might.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that partnering with an unpredictable American regime weakens Europe. The only way to save itself is to disconnect from toxic Trumpistan, just as it did with Putin.
