Once again, the First Amendment for immigrants to this country is completely gone. Done. Kaput. Finished.

These programs provide student services at public colleges across the country. They’re crucial to poor students at rural community colleges. This will devastate those institutions and the students for whom they’re a lifeline.

politics is conflictual and you should pay attention to who benefits from pretending otherwise and how they do so

DC National Guard members actively training to carry pistols in capitol mission Sources confirm to The Handbasket that task force members are preparing to be armed.

“The M-17 is the military variant of the Sig Sauer P320 semi-automatic pistol, a controversial firearm that has been banned by multiple law enforcement agencies (including ICE) for reportedly firing without a trigger pull.”

If you know any Arab journalist or writer such as myself please be aware that were we in Gaza right now:

1- Israel would seek to murder us and

2- the NYT would publish a piece explaining why we’re bad people

Our loved ones would still be mourning for us while the NYT goes on the offensive

a simple reminder that Bret Stephens once wrote a column describing hatred of Israel as a “disease of the Arab mind” and got hired by the Times AFTER that

Airbnb allowed rampant price gouging following L.A. fires, city attorney lawsuit alleges The Los Angeles city attorney’s office has filed a lawsuit against Airbnb, accusing the home-sharing platform of allowing price gouging at more than 2,000 rentals following the January firestorm.

Not mentioned in this story: Airbnb is a global sponsor of both the IOC and FIFA.

If this is what the company does during an emergency just wait to see what happens during the World Cup and Olympics

This isn’t a cut it’s a real question.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

One of the things I’ve been thinking about recently is how republics are supposed to help people have as many happy stories as possible, how the end is inevitable but it doesn’t need to be bleak. And aristocracies are mostly concerned with a handful of stories, damn the rest.

Also rural hospitals and clinics are screwed.

After the Tree of Life massacre we went to shul and as we lined up to go through the metal detectors a huge crowd of Muslim folks stood outside with signs chanting their love and support for us. It was one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen and it’s a testament both these NYC communities.

Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

I'm looking at a flight with an all day layover in SF. Is it just a desiccated tech husk or actually worth looking at?

Louisiana residents were warning their neighbors about polluted air—now the state could fine them $1M for doing it Last May, the state passed a law that would fine residents for sharing air quality data that did not meet strict standards.

The thing is, ‘we just follow the polls’ is also a lie.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.

This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

I read that children 6-12 are more likely to be killed in Gaza because they’re too big to be carried, and not as fast as children 12+, and I can’t stop thinking about it. We have children running for their lives on the regular so much so that there are patterns as to who survives.

CNN article. Headline: "Infants found dead and decomposing in evacuated hospital ICU in Gaza"

A year and a half ago the world knew, as reported even by US media.

Israeli forces removed all medical workers from a hospital and left newborn babies to die of starvation. Alone. And then rot.

The journalist who took the photos was then assassinated.

Because I am not religious, my point of view is that heaven and hell take place on earth. Therefore, our destinies are created by mortals, not by gods, and are in our hands. While it is 1mpossible for every part of every life. to be heavenly, hell is too often a humanly imposed reality;, the direct impact or long-term consequence of being over- vhelmed by someone else's abused power. So, when we are trapped by other people's actions, we dream of relief. When we are being violently attacked and can't make it stop on our own, we dream of someone else physically removing the bully, underminer, police officer, soldier, father, rapist, or false accuser. We dream of a literal person driving them away, or even better, holding them down and making them understand their crime. We dream of change, of the end of pain and the beginning of amends.

(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in para6 graph (2), no State or political subdivision thereof 7 may enforce any law or regulation regulating artifi8 cial intelligence models, artificial intelligence sys9 tems, or automated decision systems during the 10- 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment 11 of this Act.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

You can’t tell people how important bipartisanship is and also those Republicans want to kill us all and have them believe the latter.

Has anyone ever said "My rights are a distraction?" It's always someone else's rights, right?

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

Said this before, but every time the "biological woman" circus kicks off I think of the millions of women, including myself, with conditions like PCOS who struggle with "masculine" features like facial hair, and how the only women I'd be afraid to meet in a bathroom are gender-policing creeps.

The goal of AI images is not to convince you they’re real, but to put you in a mental space where you start to doubt the veracity of everything you see - where nothing is sincere and everything is trolling. This is why they serve fascist ends so effectively.
