The Walton family is a notorious government mooch with almost 5% of all SNAP recipients being Walmart workers and have given less than A percent of their massive wealth away.

I'll be honest, this isn't about AI at all, it's about the increased expectations of productivity put on tech workers due to a declining rate of profit. all these new tech cos have sky high 9/9/6 expectations for workers; AI is, like all things, just a convenient proxy for exploitation.

Being in the Epstein files and not being immediately fired is crazy. People were fired for posting Charlie Kirk quotes verbatim after his death. People were fired for being black women. For saying genocide is wrong.

Notable were these findings that at least a majority of US Jews say that supporting Jewish self determination does not require supporting the State of Israel and that Israel has committed genocide and apartheid.

A poll - by a Zionist organization, no less - found that 37% of Jews in the US identify as Zionists. In other words, about a third.
ALMOST TWO THIRDS of US Jews do not self identify as Zionists.

For years, propaganda told us that 95% of American Jews were Zionists and supported the far right governments of Israel that have gone even further right since the 1990s.
Guess what? IT WAS A LIE.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

Love to see the Roberts Court — may its name live only in infamy — getting some scrutiny today.
We CANNOT consider the book on American fascism to be closed until, among many other things, we radically reform SCOTUS.

In the US there are TONS of systems that create accountability for people with more power to dole out to people with less power. There are few to zero systems that allow people with less power to hold people with more power accountable. The Epstein files showcase how that rots the people at the top.

ICE halts "all movement" at Texas detention facility due to measles infections

I know all of the new information released in the Epstein documents is overwhelming. However, please consider that you don’t need to respond to everything people say right now with a picture or story or reference to it. Rape and child molestation and beatings and drugs are sensitive concepts

The three others arrested and indicted with Don Lemon were also Black people. I saw many non-black journos outside who weren't arrested, but they came to do the same job.
How they come for the Black journos first, will be how they learn how to successfully come for non-white journos. #MarkMyWords

While work requirements are indeed the devil's baculum & it's good to spread the word against means testing, the detached quote below makes it seem like a lot more money is being diverted than is.
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Fun fact: Republicans made the first permit requirements for carrying firearms in California. Reagan got it done because white people were afraid of the Black Panthers.
"Gun rights" have never been meant for people of color, the poor, or anyone else not in the oppressive class.

GOP spokespeople this week have said that if you carry a gun you are a valid target, and that if you are where the police are you are a valid target.
I would say something about GOP hypocrisy, but I'm old enough to remember Ronald Reagan pulling this same shit.
