Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors β€œWith fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

What Happens When Socialists Are in Charge? Portland Offers a Glimpse.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 peopleβ€”including New Yorkersβ€”have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"...

-Ensure our food is safe to eat
-Keep our air and water clean
-Alert us to natural disasters
-Protect us from financial fraud and scammers

Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

Katie Daviscourt steals footage from legitimate independent journalists and hands it to milkshake boy for doxxing campaigns that lead to violent harassment by far right extremist groups like the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, and the 3%ers.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: β€œIt always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.
