it remains nuts to me that the argument for Newsom is that he's inevitable while he's not even the polling favorite

it's always so strange that Ben Affleck is a well-spoken, erudite person because every other aspect of his personality seems like the only words out of his mouth should be slurs muttered through broken teeth
Insights from Ben Affleck on AI:
• AI can help write scenes but can't create full movies.
• Job loss fears are overblown because adoption of new tech is slow; it's hype for startup valuations.
• ChatGPT v5 is ~25% better but costs 4x.
• Users actually preferred v4's sycophancy for companionship.

Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead.
They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone.
ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them.
Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.

@schumer.senate.gov has the power – & the moral obligation – to lead his caucus in meaningfully imposing limits on ICE’s violent and illegal practices as a condition of providing this money now.

Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I’m a constituent from [Your City, ZIP]. I’m calling to insist Senator Schumer lead his caucus to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS that fails to rein in ICE. Democrats must use their power of the purse, now when they have leverage.
The killing of Renee Good wasn’t an accident—it’s a system failure. No DHS appropriations without real limits on ICE. HR trainings and body cams won’t cut it. End dragnet raids. Stop the violence. Don’t add a penny to ICE’s bloated budget. Babies are being gassed by government thugs. What will it take to get real action from our elected Democrats?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7yae6zexwxrphkd3bdsycmud/bafkreib7cy4dfkclzqvbf5bj5pbhyzdlczh2tx76bqdazap7bq55voclda@jpeg)

ICE actions are not a radical break but an intensification and extension of bipartisan consensus on the need for punitive immigration policy. Since its post-9/11 creation, people have warned that the tools given to ICE would eventually be turned on citizens.

“Expanding community oversight of policing has been an uphill battle for decades,” says state Senator Angela McKnight, who represents Jersey City. She is a sponsor of a bill that would strengthen investigatory powers for civilian oversight boards.
New Jersey Cities Are Pressing Resistant State Officials for Civilian Police Oversight
Local officials in Newark, Jersey City, and Trenton want civilian agencies that can investigate police and issue subpoenas. But they keep running into the state’s Democratic leaders.

Eren took this beautiful photo of Michael Burawoy with his great friend Erik Olin Wright in 2002. Every Thursday night after our weekly TA meeting, Michael treated the seven of us to a REALLY nice dinner (wine always included). Erik joined one night @ Yoshi's for dinner and music.
