Flyover Country What a future where iPhones are made in America would really look like.

I guess the apple news means it’s time to post this again :/

She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment. Now come on now.

Masked secret police have no place in a free society. None whatsoever. We’re advancing legislation to ban this extreme masking by law enforcement in California, including by ICE.

When you strip away humanity

Gazans Are Dying of Starvation

Horrifying, heart-breaking, and morally unconscionable.

Gay makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero describes horrific sexual & physical abuse at CECOT in El Salvador He called it "an encounter with torture and death."

Absolutely horrific. Gay makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero describes horrific sexual & physical abuse at CECOT in El Salvador

Confirmination that CECOT was always a death camp.

We are doing genocide, right now.

What will you do about it?

In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant. Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far. These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly "safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

This is so good.

Why get to “We’re not significantly richer than we were in 2005, but the cost of living is significantly higher” and not dig into _why that is_? You could write the same essay about New York or Madrid - the issue is rising inequality in the west. No progress without addressing the root problem.

Social media can support or undermine democracy — it comes down to how it’s designed Platform design is a silent pilot steering human behavior.

Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

BIG NEWS: The Legislature passed our major CEQA reform & affordability legislation, SB 131:

SB 131 cuts down on unnecessary process — often having nothing to do with the environment — that makes it harder & more expensive to build housing, advanced manufacturing, child care centers, broadband … 🧵

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

For some reason I can't fathom, this article from 2014 just seems relevant today.

I think at the exec level there are True Believers. Their concern is either everyone uses AI and 10xs or the corp gets left behind. That the AI might not result in massive productivity gains is not considered.

Express your support for SB 627, which will unmask ICE agents in CA. State Senator Scott Wiener has been getting death threats for his proposal of the bill. We need to show our support. buff.ly/xsiw26v #SFPol #USPol #ICE

By the way, cops aren't officially supposed to use "rubber" bullets like this, it's a good way to mutilate or kill someone. Especially at this range.

Officially in crowd control situations they are supposed to fire them at the ground so they catch crowd members on ricochet, which is less dangerous

Moderna withdraws application for COVID-flu combination vaccine Moderna said on Wednesday it has withdrawn an application seeking approval for its flu and COVID combination vaccine candidate after discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.

Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?
