Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

Quote from Richie: Humans need connection to survive. If you’re in a prison, that doesn’t change. So you create it — or you don’t. And there’s consequences for both choices. I know that connection is what got me through prison. Connection is what helped me survive.

Richie Reseda is a brilliant cultural organizer, social entrepreneur, creative director, and music, film, and content producer who was freed from prison in 2018.

He is a central driving force behind Songs From the Hole on Netflix.

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Free them all, papers for all, care not cops, a better world is possible.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

It actually matters *what* they are lying about, because the issue is their political project, not the dishonesty itself.

They are lying about our cities. They are lying about our immigrant neighbors. They are lying about our trans siblings.

Free Mario Guevara ICE detained journalist Mario Guevara for over 100 days for his reporting, despite orders that he be released on bond. Now, an immigration board has issued a final removal order - and he could be deported at any minute.

Mario Guevara has been detained by ICE for more than 100 days in retaliation for his reporting — even though a judge ordered his release on bond.

An immigration court just ruled Mario could be deported at any moment. ICE must free him now.

Odd to me this country has disappeared 1,800 people that were held in Alligator Alcatraz. Ice can’t/won’t say where they are and elected officials are not screaming from the rooftops. News media disinterested.

Miami Herald: Two-Thirds of Immigrants Held at “Alligator Alcatraz” in July Have Disappeared In immigration news, hundreds of people who were once detained at the troubled immigration jail in the Florida Everglades dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” have disappeared.

Woods Ervin of Critical Resistance notes the Legislative Analyst’s Office found California could close five more prisons—saving $1.5B a year. That money could fund Medi-Cal, food aid, housing, and other vital programs.

A New Kind of Neighborhood Watch Sonoma County’s ‘Adopt a Corner’ program aims to protect undocumented day laborers from ICE.

Today, we’re running an essential story from @leilaniclark.bsky.social about Sonoma County residents taking action to protect undocumented day laborers from ICE raids. The new program, Adopt a Corner, is activism as a simple act of neighborly solidarity.

"We're gonna keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors."

the ACLU has sued ICE, saying its San Francisco holding cells are filthy, freezing, & unconstitutional

and in its suit, it cites Mission Local's reporting *three* times

Israel’s military launched its ground assault on Monday “to occupy Gaza City,” killing at least 62 Palestinians, most of them in the city, according to Axios and the Wafa news agency.

ICE Abducts Man Suing Off-Duty Police for Abusing Day Laborers “The Department of Homeland Security has become the department of state terror,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez.

Willian Gimenez was abducted by ICE yesterday in Chicago. He had been part of a lawsuit against off-duty police and Home Depot employees for abusing day laborers. Latino Union says he was targeted for advocating for his rights as a worker. @bloomekatz.bsky.social and I report.

A screen grab from InDesign of the cover design in progress for a new 20-page Public Collectors booklet titled "Public Publishing Diary / Why Self-Publish Under Fascism? which shows a stack of copies of the latter titled booklet along with some of the tools used to make it: a bone folder, long arm stapler, a pen, and a loose box cutter blade.

Since I'm not at the NY Art Book Fair for the first time in a decade, I'm using my weekend to make another publication. Shocking! It will combine almost a year of my Bluesky posts about self-publishing, some studio photos, and the text from Why Self-Publish Under Fascism? I think this is the cover:

The Prison Next Door - Bolts How Arkansas’ secretive plan for a new state lockup angered residents in a deep red corner of rural America—and changed how some see incarceration.

NEW: Arkansas announced plans for a mega prison in a rural town. Since then, locals are organizing to stop it.

At first they opposed it in their own town. But some now say they've taken a more critical look at how we incarcerate in the country.

make time for this new feature, you won't regret it
