Also just thinking through what this is going to mean for victims/survivors of sexual violence, stalking and more. And how perpetrators and predators will use this technology because OpenAI definitely doesn’t care

Yesterday we received word that the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) within Dept of Ed (DoEd) was gutted--right now we believe there is no one or nearly no one left. But what does it mean? 1/11

My heart breaks for you, Saleh. I thought you had made it through the genocide. RIP.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

We’re safe, but everything around us isn’t. Two years of war left nothing standing. If kindness could rebuild walls, Gaza would already shine again.
🤍 Be part of the light that helps Gaza stand again.

There may be a ceasefire but families in Gaza have lost almost everything and are having to rebuild. Mahmoud has a new baby arriving soon too ❤️

Giving the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who enthusiastically supports the first extrajudicial massacre by Trump and his apparatus of her countrymen in small boats is bleak.

They gave the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who supports and praises Trump’s extrajudicial execution of Venezuelan civilians?

Black People Knew This Would Happen Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.

“When we speak of raids, of suspicion, of the quiet erosion of rights, we’re not predicting — we’re recalling. Listen to Black people. The warning isn’t a sermon; it’s a survival manual.”

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account.

But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

The Unscientific Nonsense of Conversion Therapy — Assigned Conversion therapy is not only ineffective at its purported goal, but also only serves to amplify psychological distress.

"[C]onversion therapy increased 'serious psychological distress [compared to those who received no therapy] (47% vs 34%), depression (65% vs 27%), substance abuse (67% vs 50%), and attempted suicide (58% vs 39%).'"

With "affirmative therapy [..] suicide attempts plummeted to 3%."

Displacement means a tent, transportation, renting a place for the tent, and buying some necessities such as a water barrel. It is difficult. We need your help.

The blue and white logo of UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) features a world map enclosed within a circular grid, surrounded by olive branches—an emblem of peace—representing the United Nations. Below the emblem, the acronym “UNRWA” is written in bold blue capital letters on a white background.
