"This is an important thing to think about."

They are physically grabbing citizens and illegally detaining them in those privately run “immigration prisons”

CITIZENS !!!!!

ICE has to be dismantled
And guilty ICE personnel should be prosecuted.

A reminder:

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

For those who missed it: this was the moment The Strokes ensured they’ll never be invited back to Coachella again! I'm so proud of them

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Gray whales are starving. Some have died off Oregon Coast Gray whales aren't getting enough to eat to survive their long migration toward Alaska.

Sorry to post this for those who abhor seeing this kind of news about wildlife. But while we are collectively agonizing over the state of our nation, the state of our planet is probably the more urgent news.

Y’all, Scamazon workers are homeless, sleeping on their cars in the parking lot. Stuck there 24 hrs a day.

Y’all, this is slavery.

Atlantic current shows two-decade decline across four deep-ocean monitoring sites A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead of relying mainly on computer models, scientists used two decades of direct ocean measurements to confirm the decline.

Atlantic Ocean sensors confirm a consistent two-decade decline in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Data from four mooring arrays across the western boundary verify a weakening transport signal below 1,000 meters, validating concerns of long-term circulation shifts.

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.

“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 to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Pretty sure I saw this bird in Kenya!!!

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Will voters EVER understand the big lie about "scary democratic (small D) socialist policies?!" Bernie has told us for decades, and Mamdani is showing us now. We can instantly fund a WAR but have TO DEBATE for decades about healthcare for all - GEEZUS!
They've LIED TO US FOR PROFIT for decades.

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.

Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? Suspicious wagers on the US-Israel war in Iran are creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers

Sixteen bets made $100,000 each accurately predicting the timing of the US airstrikes against Iran on 27 Feb. Later, a single user would make over $550,000 after betting that Khamenei would topple, just moments before his assassination by Israeli forces. On 7 Apr, right before Trump announced a

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

Hallo!! I like your avatar, it really looks like the real you!!

Straight up milking the market

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.

Shoebills are unfortunately not doing too well in the wild. It has been estimated that there are only between 3,300 - 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world according to IUCN. This is due to wars, habitat loss, poaching and capture for the illegal pet trade.

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

The work of rereading and fixing the output of machine translation is called machine translation post-editing (MTPE), and it is annoying, exhausting amd abysmally compensated. Most translators would rather stab themselves in the eye with a fork. Skilled people are leaving the profession in droves

After Carney’s government refused to pass NDP Don Davies’ motion on surveillance pricing yesterday in the House of Commons, Ontario opposition parties (both Liberal and NDP) are raising the alarm of where Canadian retailers are headed. This has happened for years with online retailers.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

An essential critique of the recursive, compounding garbage that is AI output and the danger of allowing it to seep into any corpus of data. The machines may exhaust us by forcing us to correct this nonsense or deal with its consequences well before they kill us all

well put - it's basically baking in HUGE technical debt from day 1. You normally start off with something that at least 1 person understands and knows, because they made it recently, and then things get messy. This skips straight to "no-one knows it and it needs unpicking completely" for any issues!
