as someone who once managed a monthly budget of $40,000 of rent assistance for a small nonprofit social service agency?

you know how much time and effort it would take to pay 40 people’s rents?!?!?!?

applications, in-person meetings, approval from my boss, mailing a check to a landlord…

LONDON — 🇬🇧 people put Elon’s email to Epstein up at a bus stop 👀

This is who we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a hole in Nashville? 🤔

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

Ja, hajjade till - helt fel ålder och ....helt fel helt enkelt

I’m not a Texan, but it’s hard to ignore what’s happening in the Democratic Senate primary in the state. We’re all clocking it, right?

Let’s start with what should be obvious: whoever wins the Democratic nomination, we Dems should support him or her.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

När jag i min ungdom började engagera mig politiskt hade jag inte gissat att jag så småningom skulle behöva engagera mig för att behålla demokratin i Sverige. Nog svär jag över de här dumheterna, men näven ska inte knytas i fickan. Den ska ta i hand med andra som vill ha mer öppenhet och demokrati.

Imagine if we would not be allowed to be criminal 😑

This is insane. ICE is out of control here, still. They must leave.

Anyone with a heart and soul should agree that children and babies do not belong behind bars. Thousands of kids will carry a lifetime of trauma and PTSD, done in our name, funded by our tax dollars.

Does AI already have human-level intelligence? The evidence is clear The vision of human-level machine intelligence laid out by Alan Turing in the 1950s is now a reality. Eyes unclouded by dread or hype will help us to prepare for what comes next.

“Does AI already have human-level intelligence? The evidence is clear.”

No, not by a long shot.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans trained as constitutional observers The Immigrant Defense Network works with more than 100 organizations to help train constitutional observers. At the end of November, there were 2,500 trained observers. That number has soared as more ...

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

‘We have to keep showing up for each other’: In Minnesota, caregiving is a form of resistance School pickups, diaper runs and mutual aid funds are central to how many Minnesotans are challenging the militarization of their state.

I am usually a very behind the scenes person but I stepped outside of my comfort zone because I hope reading this will inspire other people just to step up and do the thing.

You never know what your impact can be.

Classified Whistleblower Complaint About Tulsi Gabbard Stalls Within Her Agency Congress hasn’t seen the complaint, which was filed eight months ago with the U.S. intelligence community watchdog’s office.

Exclusive: A U.S. official has alleged wrongdoing by U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard in a complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to people familiar with the matter.

Simply couldn’t imagine being enough of a loser to go to the official “wasn’t slavery neat?” dinner

“Software reliability is down across the industry; failure rate is up: and batch size is up.” @lauratacho.com + @nathenharvey.bsky.social

Basically, AI is generating larger changes (batch size) and we know from research (eg DORA) that larger batch size tends to result in exactly this!

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

Distress signal, Minnesota-style. #ICEOutOfMinnesota

Tell me something good.

What good thing happened in your life this week?

Found your purpose or found your glasses, both work. Just something good.
