You cannot hate ICE enough. “Ortega was summoned to the El Paso immigration office for an interview related to an application for a special program designed to offer deportation protections to military spouses or parents who are in the U.S. without legal status.“ www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-det...

Anti-Data Center organizing is really ramping up especially in the South.
We must require ALL data centers and other extremely large corporate users of electricity to generate their own electricity at their own expense If we don't do this, we are either idiots and/or masochists.
Amazing that damage to a crucifix is forcing Israel to do PR damage control while the systematic rape of prisoners *as policy* is not. [c/w details in this piece are *extremely* upsetting] www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wishe...
As a former StoryCorps facilitator, this is fucking disgusting.
End the project already, Dave.
You created a good model: you encouraged people to sit and do oral history for 20 yrs.
Turning StoryCorps into a surveillance capitalism nightmare is not worth the money to keep the project going.
The loudest voices on this site on Covid are the most obnoxious and know the least about it from a social justice framework. They also refer to the pandemic in past tense
CDC heat map with PMC estimates

I find Ben McKenzie’s career trajectory to be unlikely and inspirational.
a longer read, but will written and worth the time
Britons aged over 65 now spend a record three hours and 20 minutes a day online, and are slipping into radicalisation
partly the platforms and algorithms — but feeding on real world issues of isolation, fear of irrelevance, yearning for community
Where are the lawmakers vowing in public to drag every last cent back into the Treasury?
They will be very popular
anything you're willing to do / say / acknowledge about this @repjohnnyo.bsky.social?
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
Pope: [moral critique of illegal war]
President: I am Jesus. Thr pope is gay
Media: they are feuding😳
Read this @repjohnnyo.bsky.social. I'm not going to vote for you unless you say the word!

"Medical institutions must educate staff that Long COVID is a disabling condition affecting up to 40% of healthcare workers who contracted and continue to contract COVID-19 while working in hospitals that have failed to control the spread of the virus and other pathogens."
#LongCOVID
At 1.5C of global warming, up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost. The next few months could be a defining moment, writes Jason Momoa.
It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office
Keep an eye out!
As AI winds down while VC money runs out, they're going to continue following the same failed playbook Web3 used. They'll redirect the focus from big money (companies, entrepreneurs) to marginalized communities.
Prepare to see AI re-spun as a tool to empower women/POC/LGBT.

She's been nominated as an emerging leader by @inn.org as a luminary in non-profit news. Beyond her incredible reporting/editing on #LongCOVID, Betsy does so much unsung work that makes The Sick Times the force that it is. #INNYs2026

On January 10, 2022, the Knicks played the San Antonio Spurs at the Garden. It was Pride night. Richards was there, attending with a friend. An 18-page report prepared by Eversole's Threat Management Group and reviewed by WIRED shows just how closely she was being monitored. 07:10:20 // CAM 0241 // scans her ticket to section 102, Row 8, Seat 5 07:11:14 // CAM 1434 // goes up terrace escalators on level 3 to level 6 concourse 07:12:52 // CAM AC10 // hugs usher Appendix A of the report has a screenshot of the embrace, with Richards circled in red. 08:08:58 // CAM 1093 // talking with F&B worker at the Draft Kings Bar 08:10:49 // CAM 0512 // pays for the drinks 08:31:19 // CAM 0485 // eating at a table It goes on and on. At 8:48 pm, camera 0489 spots another quick hug with an MSG “membership experience executive” (there's a grainy photo in the report's Appendix N). Two minutes and two seconds later, the same camera captures her heading into the women's bathroom. Her exit is noted after precisely two minutes and five seconds.
The owner of MSG and the Knicks compiled this kind of second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman while they were in the arena. They're doing this at all venues owned by James Dolan of perceived enemies. Crazy, crazy shit.

Using facial recognition tech, the Knicks surveilled a trans woman, tracking her every move out of fear she'd show up on MSG's tv broadcast
And they can do it to any "enemy" of Jim Dolan, who's built his own deep state. From @noahshachtman.bsky.social & me @wired.com www.wired.com/story/madiso...
This is slavery.
Holy shit
BREAKING: An ICE charter landed in the Democratic Republic of Congo minutes ago following third-country deportation deal with the Trump administration.

If you were outraged when Trump tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel, you should be outraged by what they're doing to students who spoke out against the war in Gaza.
Now they're firing immigration "judges" who refuse to go along with their illegal scheme.
