Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act last year for good reason: it’s an anti-voter bill. But now lawmakers have revived it despite overwhelming public opposition. Tell Congress to reject the SAVE Act: bit.ly/4tmVIor

Again and again, guardrails are a scam

Amazing! Thanks for letting me know :)

Hello!

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, ev...

We found that Jeff Bezos paid *zero* taxes in 2007 and 2011.

In fact, he reported making so little in 2011 that he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children.

This is how he did it (published 2021):

There is a genre of "AI" labor that is as horrofying to read as Upton Sinclairs The Jungle—and just as important data-workers.org/michael/

During a zine making session this week, I made one as a tribute to the people of Minneapolis with Springsteen’s lyrics to “Streets of Minneapolis” - feel free to print out and share: bit.ly/49SrD8x.

NEWS: @nationalnurses.bsky.social “demands Congress abolish ICE entirely. We will be doing everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people.”

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

There are now a half dozen occasions in the last year in which NATO intelligence services have discovered that high classified intelligence reporting furnished to the Trump White House were furnished to the Kremlin within hours (I posted the story about this in Handelsblad).

Yeah man all my friends in Minnesota are buying high viz vests and forming human chains at class dismissals because ICE is targeting and tear gassing schools. I wonder why parents would want information about that.

I've put together a list of the most helpful activities/visualizations/tools I've found for introducing students to the mechanics of LLMs (which I do every year). miriamposner.com/blog/introdu...

I especially encourage any folks who are curious about DH (especially a socially just DH!) & able to put in decently scoped volunteer time to apply for ACH Exec rep roles. You do *not* need to be "established", midcareer, nor faculty! We need voices from folks in libraries & museums, altac, students

I was just reading about the Echoes initiative and it sounds very promising! Enjoy Bologna!

In Bologna for the kick off of the EU funded Infinity project. I’m leading the work package on ethical aspects of digital cultural heritage infrastructure, feeding into the European cloud for heritage open science programme (Echoes). Can’t wait! We have a lot to build, design, & test!

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Love Veselka!

Yay @elotroalex.bsky.social!! Congratulations my friend!!

Now let’s follow suit in all the other states. And add universal healthcare to boot. Come on mayors and governors - you can do it!

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

Call them what they are: Nazi thugs, gestapo agents.
