I don’t think people who were born in New York are real New Yorkers. That’s like being born at the carnival or something. It’s wild that happened and you should be able to go on the rides for free, but that’s not what this place is for.

"Provide access to trusted AI agents for every post-secondary student – from the arts and commerce to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and medicine." I'm pretty sure that nobody who teaches in a post-secondary institution asked for this, and this makes their jobs even harder.

This is what happens when queer people hate your party. There’s no one there to plan one.

Repulsive. Public money paying for fascist propaganda. Encampments are rare; they are not a danger; this government is doing nothing to help the people who live in them or to solve the underlying problems.

““My mother did not give her life. Her life was taken and it shocked the nation enough that they passed the Voting Rights Act in 1965,” he said, adding that the Supreme Court and Trump administration were “working tirelessly to go back to the ‘60s.” “It’s disgusting,” he said.”

“Every moment I connect my life now to those years after the Nakba," says 85-year-old Fatima Ibrahim Khalfallah. "This Nakba is more terrifying, more deadly, more destructive. . . The same hunger, thirst, and fear — but multiplied many times over.” mondoweiss.net/2026/05/same...

So, the @endofsportpod.bsky.social just got banned from TikTok, almost certainly for posts with Black Alliance for Peace calling for an anti-imperialist boycott of the World Cup. 🤔

“Ride-hailing was once pitched as a way to reduce urban congestion, but a new report suggests it may be contributing to more gridlock on Toronto streets… research showed rideshare vehicles drove 1.13 billion kms in the city in 2025 — a up 40% from 2023 & the highest amount ever recorded in Toronto.”

Justice Shaina Leonard says the petition should never have been issued.

Israel's decimation of Gaza's judicial system has left hundreds of thousands of women unable to claim inheritance, get a divorce, or retain custody of their children. "That is the reality of women in Gaza. We are abandoned,” mondoweiss.net/2026/04/when...

In #Gaza, rising energy prices are limiting access to fuel and food.   In February 2026 alone, UNRWA treated more than 3,700 children under five for malnutrition.  #UNRWAworks to detect and treat malnutrition early, but we could do much more if we were allowed to bring food into Gaza.

Et tu, Canada?

devastating for every young trans/queer person trying to find community amid irl social isolation

Your goals are to replace human public sector workers with AI so you can slash public services and to make your buddies at Brookfield even richer by spending public funds on AI infrastructure for private profit.

Meanwhile my university has bought licenses for CoPilot. Is a technology that "is for entertainment purposes only, which can make mistakes, which may not work as intended and cannot be relied on for important advice and has to be used at our own risk" so essential?

You love to see it!!! #LandBack #Nuchatlaht www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.

The “main goal” of walking through a plate glass window while carrying a wedding cake may have changed, according to officials

MSNBC Journalist David Rhode reports: "Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war." So to recap... 1/2

The colonial state confers upon itself the right to determine who is Indigenous, and settlers who desire an Indigenous identity can easily weaponize these apparatuses to maintain their claims. I guess we need to be careful now to not claim folks are committing ethnic fraud...knowingly?

Every single day this administration finds ten new ways be the most evil people imaginable. Extortion is now national policy.

Jurgen Habermas, RIP www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

the state of israel, like apartheid south africa, like the jim crow south, like nazi germany, has determined that crimes against a certain type of person, no matter how heinous, aren't crimes because the victims are not people. there is no "but them first" defense of israel that can stand up to it

The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

"Sloppelganger" is one for the ages

Knew my transition worked and that I was passing when I stopped getting badgered like women do

Perfidy is a war crime.

The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including: 6,668 civilian structures 5,535 homes 14 hospitals 65 schools

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Hence killing 100+ children on day one.

The Authors Guild is now offering "Human Authored" certification marks for literary works in which "the text itself was fully authored by one or more human beings and not generated by AI." What a time to be alive!

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire. That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

In response to reporting about deaths, province has decided to no longer produce data related to deaths globalnews.ca/news/1169038...

Tommy Douglas, Canada’s venerable socialist leader and the father of its single-payer health care system, died on this day in 1986. He is now revered as the “greatest Canadian.” But in his time, he was a radical and an enemy of the establishment.

As someone who grew up on (white) teen movies, I was struck by how much that Patel scene looked like something straight out of a spec script in the 1980s. The racialized minority over performing nationalism as white frat boys clearly broadcast to everyone but him that he is not really one of them.

W. E. B. Du Bois was born on this day in 1868. “Capitalism cannot reform itself; it is doomed to self-destruction.”

I always find the hallucinations very "creative"..."inventive", even
