Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

I'm reading about this incident now and it is appalling that no one during or after this horrific incident either publicly or privately explained or acknowledged. Black nurses who work with senile white patients experience this all the time. Racism is deep and censored...until it isn't.

Why right wing billionaires are buying up local newspapers... they do not want coverage like this. This is very inspiring!

the Cincy enquirer has def taken up a front page cause, the Feb 20 print edition top headline is: “Haitians sparked a revival in Springfield”

That is the Cincinnati enquirer’s idea of a matter of fact, straight news front page print headline now in the current climate

"Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men.

This isn’t a guess. It’s the finding of a Harvard Business School meta-analysis examining eighteen studies, over 140,000 participants, across multiple countries."

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

No question.I agree completely. Including in the deliberate defunding of education with a goal of shrinking the middle class and so-called white collar workers who might want unions, worker dignity, women in the workforce, weekends, paid leaves, and child labor laws . . . for starters! Wage slavery.

That's an excellent list. But he needs to add the whole adult/chiefly male entertainment, gaming, and gambling industries.

Absolutely massive, I'm sure, and they are counting on the bubble bursting. Also, when you call together the normally warring heads of all the rival corporations to one dinner, you own and owe them. We all say that Brando movie, right?

There is always the problem of incumbency. George HW Bush is the only sitting vice president to win the presidency since 1836 and he served under an enormously popular Reagan. An incumbent VP is in a constitutionally complicated role speaking out against their own administration . . .

Yes. Of course. And (also of course) she only had two opponents. One of them, the other candidate, certainly did not pledge Medicare for All or an end to Gaza genocide. The other--low voter turn out of progressives--chose by not voting. There's no third option.

I've read that the two reliable sources for profit for AI is porn in its various forms and higher education. Take that one in.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

And of course post election, the amount of media coverage of Gaza has (tragically) diminished. Progressives were played. The cynicism of it all is appalling.

Good morning! Was hoping for a bit more color in the clouds this sunrise before the blizzard, but the waves are nice!

Here are your 3 minutes of #OceanDevotion peace & calm.

It will likely be too dangerous for me to travel the kilometer to the beach tomorrow morning.

Can confirm that everything folks have praised about my work has come from having the protections of tenure.

Sam Altman makes shocking statements all the time ("AI will probably lead to the end of the world but in the meantime, there’ll be great companies.”) but the annihilistic, anti-human trillionairish assumptions about how long it takes to
train" a human vs "training" AI is revealing + disturbing

What if all those years of life were not just an investment in capital growth but were actually the entire point of all of it, what then.

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?
