The deployment of “ai” is not a case study in diffusion of innovation or adoption of new technology. It is a case study in coerced implementation, it is social engineering by the elite class and it’s bad for people and bad for the planet

Today, many dead and injured at Brown University. Tomorrow, the 13th anniversary of Sandy Hook. Garry Wills wrote "Our Moloch" three days after 20 kids and six adults were slaughtered in Newtown, and it's unfortunately no less relevant today than it was then. Free account to read it
Our Moloch | Garry Wills
The gun is our Moloch. We sacrifice children to him daily—sometimes, as at Sandy Hook, by directly throwing them into the fire-hose of bullets from our protected private killing machines, sometimes by...

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.
A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

You cannot trust anything any of these assholes say. They killed a guy in cold blood in Franklin Park and lied about that too. "Do something b----." Yes, that's what you're living for. An excuse

It really is this simple. The idea that there’s this deluge of people out there that “want” to be homeless no matter what society would try to do for them is a political myth; ginned up so that we all have more people to hate and we’ll maybe not look more closely at income inequality.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

NEW: Expect some drama in House Dems’ meeting this AM over a vote to honor Charlie Kirk.

Some members undecided. Others voting no or “present.” But some in the party fear anything but a unanimous vote for it will be a messaging coup for the GOP.

This happened during Trump's first term, but I believe under Pete Hegseth we are about to enter a new golden age of the SEALs being told "your mission, should you choose to accept it: take these amphetamines, fall out of a helicopter, and drown."
