We're seeing this data in more & more races everywhere. Dems need to stop hiring consultants who insist on anti-trans campaign platforms.

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power.

Judge Pittman losing his cause so badly that he had to stop allowing self-defense claims by defendants.

This week, in the Prairieland case, Texas prosecutors are attempting to equate anarchism with terrorism.

While masked thugs in plainclothes assault and abduct people around the country.

While bombs destroy hospitals and elementary schools in Iran.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Another sticker sneak peek!

The first order of books we're going to carry came in, too. As more titles trickle in over the next few weeks, we can't help but be excited about curating this inventory.

Looking at the end-ish of April for the launch of the pop-up market booth!

I wish people would come to understand transphobia as systemic, structural, and pervasive so we could stop treating transphobia as explicitly limited to people saying "I hate trans people" and accept the way our society conditions us all to dismiss, diminish, and dehumanize trans people.

The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better - As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought β€œforever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries.

Borrowing from Netanyahu and Putin, Trump's strategy to remain in power is to create ever worse catastrophes around the world, no matter the cost in lives.

The attack on Iran will not be the last.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork.

The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

As Trump Bombs Iran, We Need to Reckon With the American War Machine We cannot afford to slip into despair. We must push back against militarism everywhere, at every turn.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

Reminder that we're not doing this because Israel is making us.

We're doing this because Israel IS us, and who we are is imperialists with an economy based on death for profit.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the
Department of War to deploy our models in their
classified network.
In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep
respect for safety and a desire to partner to
achieve the best possible outcome.
Al safety and wide distribution of benefits are the
core of our mission. Two of our most important
safety principles are prohibitions on domestic
mass surveillance and human responsibility for the
use of force, including for autonomous weapon
systems. The DoW agrees with these principles,
reflects them in law and policy, and we put them
into our agreement.

What is AI good for?

They're not investing billions in it just so you don't have to write your own emails and your kids never learn to draw.

If you want to understand why AI is important to them, look at Gaza.

In cheerful corporate lingo, they are preparing massacres on an unimaginable scale.

Officials detain and cite volunteers documenting ICE arrests at San Diego federal building The change seems to target volunteers who have conducted legal observation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers’ behavior in immigration court hallways and the corridor outside ICE offices ...

In San Diego, DHS police arbitrarily change rules overnight to cite court watchers:
The rule change "meant they could no longer stand in hallways to document immigration arrests or support those with hearings & appointments in the building."

Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

NYPD Still Illegally Stopping New Yorkers 12 Years After Court Ruling, Monitor Finds Illegal stops, missing paperwork and weak discipline remain widespread despite federal oversight.

More than a decade after a federal judge ruled that the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk practices violated the Constitution, the agency is still not following the law according to a new report by a court-appointed monitor.

unfortunately, there is a well-established pattern of police releasing people from custody who die within a few days from exposure, homicide, being hit by a car walking home, or an overdose.

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

"abolish ice" does in fact require defunding the police because they are the same system causing harm.

Robin D. G. Kelley: It’s Not Enough to Abolish ICE β€” We Have to Abolish the Police β€œWhat’s happening now has happened before,” Kelley said, underscoring the anti-Blackness foundational to US fascism.

Premature death at the hands of armed agents of the state is merely a hazard of being Black in America. It’s not enough to β€œabolish ICE”; we have to abolish the police force and replace it with a radically different form of public safety.
