Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Since I just learned about the Veteran status on FindAGrave, more than two years after it was added 😳, I'm going to spend some time today adding and requesting it for the veterans in my tree.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Just got an alert that ICE is showing up today in Park Slope. I have a feeling that their presence is going to grow quickly in retaliation for Mamdani’s win.

Chicagoans have learned a lot. I have to think ppl have put together good resources to post about how to effectively resist them?

The Coalition for Responsible AI in #Genealogy has released its new official position statement: "Protecting Trust in Historical Images."

While AI "photo restoration" tools can be helpful, they also risk altering or fabricating features, misleading researchers. Link and more β–Ί

If Starbucks baristas have to strike, we’re striking too β€” with our wallets.

Don’t shop at Starbucks if baristas are on strike. No contract, no coffee. Period. #NoContractNoCoffee

I have suggested in the past that it would be a good idea to leave Substack if that's where you have your newsletter.

But now?

Now I'm just telling you to flee.

CBS News fired 8 on-air personalities in latest layoffs. All of them are women EXCLUSIVE: Multiple sources told The Independent that senior foreign correspondent Debora Patta was added to the layoff list following a last-minute change by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

β€œa male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute.”

It's always been doubtful that I could stomach a long plane ride to attend #Rootstech, but I certainly won't be spending my money in Utah while this is happening.
Once built, this will also keep people in toxic employment because they'll be so afraid of homelessness.

Utah is now building what many human rights activists are concerned will be a forced labor camp for homeless people.

Rather than address a broken system that is harming countless Americans, the gop want to punish those victimized by this broken system.

According to Wikipedia, Coolidge took the oath of office at his family farm in Vermont at 2:37 am, administered by his father, a Justice of the Peace, and returned to bed.
