In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

For a friend: #Pennsylvania 1st amendment attorneys:
I have a friend suddenly fired from his university position for assigning a VERY benign essay about virtue that some auditing students deemed “too political”.
He was given no opportunity to protest, & needs someone pro-bono ASAP.
It’s urgent.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Nobody wants this shit. Nobody.

The hostile reaction has been so pronounced, in fact, that it feels like a company announcing it would never force AI into its products would carve out a pretty good chunk of the market.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

People on FOX News saying grandma doesn't need slippers makes it seem like the economy is very, very bad.

But, Trump is touting that we're in an "economic golden age" and "prices are coming down."

So which is it???
