Oh shit! So sorry

A cardboard bankers box sitting on top of an office chair filled with assorted odds and ends as I cleaned out my desk

I need some help. Got laid-off on Friday: unannounced budget change + my position was first cut, so it was a total surprise. Thanks to a tax status loophole my employer manipulated, I cant get unemployment. In short im SOL

we showed the brutality of the anti-Black (and anti-ally) violence by police in 2020 (and before) yet we still got Trump for a second term and police violence has only worsened.

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

Claim: rioters attacked ICE
Truth: ICE rushed at unarmed protesters standing on a patch of grass

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

So glad I moved to Tidal a few years ago. Not without its issues but no ChatGPT nonsense

CPD held back protestors next to a city bus stop in Brighton Park on Saturday while ICE slammed someone to the ground then teargassed a dozen of us in order to escape but okay sure glad that piece of paper getting signed will really stop them.

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite.

To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

These are the most rapacious, predatory, high interest loans, marketed to low income people who are the first to get laid off during a downturn. Finance calls them “high risk” — a term that sums up finance’s love of ripping people off then scolding them for not being able to repay debt

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau shows deep subprime loans at levels as high as in late 2007, right before the 2008 crash. They’ve been like this since shooting up when people lost jobs during 2020. www.consumerfinance.gov/data-researc...

The US consumer is completely drained, and what did they do with all that cash they extracted from us? Lit it on fire to make a machine so advanced its the first ever computer that can't do math and spent the remaining scraps buying the media and presidency so people couldnt be mean about them

A thing I think it’s important for USians not in currently-occupied cities to grasp is that the normal and everyday goes on alongside the violent and unprecedented.

In Chicago right now you can be forced off teargas-soaked streets in the morning and have a peaceful evening picnic on the lake.

People need to be remember that every bad thing that happens to someone from the flotilla has been done 100x over (and much much worse) to the Palestinians every day for the past 85 years.

THIS IS SAD ❗❗ "That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry" Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists.

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla.

Torture.

We don't tbh. I think the important thing to recognise is that the ideological incapacity has followed the hollowing out of traditional working class power. The working class is no longer able to inflict pain on the state and capital in measured ways and the state has responded in kind.

chat, is saying you want to destroy a computer program the same as genocide?

“Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.””

buy shoes with good support. barefoot shoes can also be great. just don’t cheap out on the shoes.

if you never had a slutty season, it’s not too late.

don’t let your past broken hearts make you afraid of love.

see your doctor and get all your screenings.

try to love the normal days.

genuinely impossible to overstate what the secret police are doing. It is state hooliganism. It is gangsterism as policy. It is the jouissance of the original klan nightriders that followed the civil war. they terrorize minority communities while intentionally paralyzing local governments.

This is a good point, we’re probably due Obama popping up and telling protesters not to block traffic, any moment now.

She Sent Money to Family in Gaza. ICE Claimed It’s Evidence She Supports Hamas. To keep her in ICE detention in Texas, the Trump administration pointed to Leqaa Kordia’s remittances to family in Palestine.

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

Being passionate about Taylor Swift is like being passionate about Bed, Bath & Beyond. There's nothing there. Just marketing and brand identity and hollow, acquisitive greed.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

*Massive* protests in European Georgia. Demonstrators have attempted to storm the Presidential Palace.

The pro-Putin Georgian Dream party which stole the election and has sent out a new wave of riot police.
