Today, 6PM, at Leavenworth KS town hall. Help stop and delay the expansion of the internment camp system.
CoreCivic is dropping their failing lawsuit and is attempting to get their internment camp in Leavenworth via a SUP via a city council meeting tomorrow at 6PM.
I am told this is an “all hands on deck” moment by locals and activists if you can make it.

Love that AI is not only “threatening” to take our jobs it’s making the MEANS of working untenable. The RAM I bought last march for $160 now costs over $900 because of AI. It is impossible to make or upgrade a work computer. This is insane.

As we approach midterms, starting now, be careful on these social media streets. Bots and trolls and disinfo accounts can pretend to be on any side, at first. Trust the instincts you've built up on twitter and now here. Even, and especially, when you see a bunch of the same-worded replies on posts.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

The Chicago-based American Medical Association is blasting a federal vaccine advisory committee’s decision Friday to no longer recommend that all babies get the hepatitis B vaccine when they’re born.
