Why Has This Columbia University Protester Been in ICE Detention for Nearly a Year? Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'

BREAKING: Exactly one year since she was detained, an immigration judge has just ordered the release of Leqaa Kordia — the last Columbia protestor still in ICE detention.

DHS has kept her, despite a magistrate judge recommending her release and an immigration judge already *twice* ordering so.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

I had not remembered to look for Jenny Holzer on here, thank you.

Friendly reminder that Disabled people still can't legally get married without losing their benefits! Certain states have workarounds, but if you require federal assistance, you're out of luck. We still don't have access to the same rights as others 36 years later

That's not cheating, that's super cool! I've only heard of people with tetrachromacy before, I've never seen anyone who knows that they have it.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."

That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

oh yea, look at urea prices [haber-bosch strikes again]

Iranian school was on U.S. target list, may have been mistaken as military site The strike on an Iranian elementary school killed at least 175, many of them children, raising questions as to whether the military’s use of AI-enabled targeting was a factor.

All this talk of advanced AI targeting and the U.S. still fired a Tomahawk at an elementary school where an outdoor playground has been visible on Google Maps since 2017 www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Drone strikes in Haiti.
Drone strikes. In Haiti.
By private contractors.
They’re killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention.
The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, it’s true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it

This is from 1975.

In less than two weeks, the US government has already spent more money bombarding Iran than it will contribute to cancer research this entire year.

Probably *a great deal* more money.

They would rather let you die, so long as you fear them while you are living.

I appreciate Octavia E. Butler rejecting the label of prophet. And how it wasn’t just humility but a reminder that prophecy suggests some truth forecast by a higher being that can lend itself to doomerism. As she said, she wanted things to be different and believed we can and should change things.

Today I learned a little bit about the Schedule A Defendant (SAD) Scheme!

I love when youraislopbores.me defies the prompt.

The war in Iran should have never been started and cannot end soon enough. I hope there will be justice and peace someday.

These horrible boat murders should never have happened but they're going to continue for way too long.

Ursula K. Le Guin is always so good but I hope this is not prophecy.

Wow, this is a great public service!

I will be so very vexed and upset if LLMs can do this sort of thing, and if they already can, I'm not sure I want to know.

youraislopbores.me can be very heartwarming. I got the idea for the cool s prompt from someone else.

Nice, classic lugged steel.

Infinite water cooling gargantuan data centers sounds a little like the plot to the post-apocalyptic video game Rain World.
