AI is a a lack of consent machine that is designed to move us all toward slavery

This is respectfully disingenuous beginning with which viewpoints they overwhelmingly choose to platform and hire on the opinion side.

In addition to that, there's a difference between sharing viewpoints you disagree with and sharing viewpoints that are based in lies.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

New: As David Ellison prepares to take control of CNN, legendary CBS News producer Mary Walsh, who is exiting, sent a goodbye note to colleagues.

In the note, Walsh writes, "We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don’t know how to do that."

“Both” what? Only one of those is a societal problem.

New media models don't have to look like anything that has come before. But they do need to exist, so we can build on them.

One of the mothers I interviewed for this story was frustrated that she couldn't find many resources to help her navigate these conversations with her 3-year-old son.

So, we also created a guide to taking with your kids about ICE, based on tips from child development experts:

Text excerpt of H.R.7661 on Congress.gov, ending its definition of "sexually oriented material" with:

“(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism.”.

“There’s Another Way”: Rent Relief, Love Letters, and 1,000 Pee Funnels "There’s nothing like getting to give someone their rent money," says mutual aid organizer Ashley Fairbanks.

I talked with @ziibiing.com about Stand With Minnesota, keeping neighbors housed during ICE escalation, and directing generosity where it’s actually needed.

Noem’s luxury ‘deportation’ jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem's DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets.

SCOOP: Noem's DHS has acquired at least NINE new jets in recent weeks, with another one on the way.

Half are luxury jets.

Gotta call bullshit. Note how this concern is never brought up for one-way, one-lane streets with no bike lane with parking on both sides leaving no room for drivers to pull over to make way for emergency vehicles. Same thing with big arterials such as Flatbush or Atlantic that are often jammed.

I was the first person to call my Congresswoman's office about this bill. It was fast and easy, and the aide I spoke to was pleasant--and horrified when she heard what they're trying to get away with. Please. Help protect our trans siblings.

hey so this is one of those "depose or dictatorship" type moments for a country

One option here!

also, with love and respect for my friends and colleagues who do great work at large national LGBTQ orgs

...they do not need your money and they will not use it efficiently to defend the most marginalized queer and trans people

plz panic-give to the frontlines & mutual aid orgs, not the big NGOs

kansas has just banned transgender people from voting

Cis people assume it's like height or something but the difference is *that can actually be used to determine if an ID belongs to the bearer*

The gender marker provides EXACTLY ONE BIT OF INFORMATION and that's "can discriminate y/n"

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

unironically i want to get a push going for this in AK. "the government has no business knowing your gender" seems like a message that could stick up here if you did it right

I first wrote about ICE's use of ruses and misrepresentations — which are explicitly recommended in their training manuals — almost eight years ago. This sounds like a particularly bold implementation but this has been part of their toolkit for a long time

So despite the ICE abduction this morning, Columbia didn’t take any steps to cancel classes or move them remote. No idea how noncitizen community members are supposed to feel safe showing up to study or work today.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back.

It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

I want to clarify this because people have asked: organizations in general giving money to trans people for hormones and ID changes and moving fees, good. Organizations giving money to legal teams for the newest lawsuit to try and slow this down, maybe not the priority right now

High tech salaries have often allowed partners and family members to work in non-profits, education, & lower-paying public service roles.

Hello, Immigration scholars:

Do you have references to academic papers/ books that are not about legal status itself but about the *process* of trying to access a more permanent status from a position of legal liminality?

I'm writing on this & found very little. Could that actually be the case?
