This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

This post shows up for me flagged as rude. I know some people think it's impolite to remind them that proportionately, most of the lives saved by vaccines are those of children; it's also true. Vaccinations save children. If you care about them, fight FOR vaccination, not AGAINST abortion.

At this point, the best thing any media could do is not report anything ICE claims until it is verified.

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

This is where we are.

This man is a professor. Who has written a book. About antifascism. He’s just one of many in this situation; and his situation is just one amongst a sea of varied horrors that MAGA fascism is unleashing on society.

But this is where we are. Don’t look away.

Jay said "if you don't like Bluesky you can just leave" and apparently now we really can.

So emailed Tubi about them running political ads containing outright lies and made it abundantly clear that if they don't pull them or give me an option to filter all political ads, I will only watch in a browser that blocks ads outright.

I love Tubi, but this is my line.

Trump took Gateway money, we must take his golf club Take it from someone who’s spent years as a survivor advocate, working with people hurt by those in power: You do not negotiate with abusers.

Take it from me: You do NOT negotiate with abusers.

So if Trump wants to illegally take New Jersey’s funding, we have to fight back with everything we’ve got.

My idea? Eminent domain Trump’s golf course for affordable housing.

The Etymology of β€œArctic” and β€œAntarctic” (and a Bit About β€œBear”) β€œArctic” is from the Greek arktos, β€œbear,” because the constellation Ursa Major, β€œthe greater she-bear” (also known as the Big Dipper), is always visible in the …

So many of our problems stem from people acculturated to order, not justice, and with that the weaponization of civility.

Can't you just grab Mike Johnson, stuff his head in the toilet a few times, and force him to swear her in? Does he have to consent to her being sworn in, or can you just make him do it?

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his β€œloyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded.

Base it on what I said: even if someone makes six figures, they still have to work to make that money. No work, no pay. Even a surgeon has to do surgeries to get paid.

It actually is, though. Because it is a difference of degree, not kind.

Union HVAC tech here. Well-paid. If I stop working, I don't get paid. I'm a lot closer to homelessness than being a billionaire. There are particular nuances, but they are small compared to both our need to oppose Capital.

As someone who worked on a union campaign at a museum I have so many thoughts on this stereotypical, lazy mode of thinking about class as tied directly to level of education

Why did the dude at the gym think it would be cool to say a racist thing about someone to the guy wearing a John Brown Did Nothing Wrong shirt?

Why?

How does this seem to be a good idea?

guy bursts into a class doing the salute and calling people slurs; class follows him outside and chases him down until he’s arrested.
