What if thinking doesn’t begin in the brain, but in the ceaseless labour of our cells? Today’s essay rethinks the question of how we become minds, arguing that cognition begins not in the mind but in the collective processes that keep a body alive @annaciaunica.bsky.social

Negligence? As if he's not sharing military plans via Signal on purpose? How about "violation of the Espionage Act"?

Sure looks like it.

Burn him!

In New Mexico, we stand up for workers and justice. I marched alongside the fierce Dolores Huerta and community this morning in Barelas. In this moment, in this country, we have to harness our strength, stand together and fight for what is right, and I'm not backing down.

Today, we’re saying hands off Medicaid, Social Security, VA benefits and all of the programs that New Mexicans rely on. As we stand together, we send a clear message: we will never stop organizing and we will stand up for our communities!

Yep, that's goal. A country for the rich and only the rich. What's the plan for reversing this takeover?

What about the rising tide of vicious right-wing madness that has engulfed the world over the past two decades. Might that have anything to do with it?

Every senator who values freedom should now step up.

Lovely. Thank you, and Congratulations!

What will you do to oppose this?

!!

All voter suppression acts are un-American. The only goal of these bills is the replacement of democracy with dictatorship.

They don't intend to put anything back together.

Please make sure all New Mexicans understand that Trump has just imposed new sales taxes that they will have to pay.

This is the expression I want to see on all their faces.

Does everyone understand that this would END 80 years of US world leadership, topple international stability, and make NUCLEAR WAR way more likely? Greenland is part of Denmark. Attacking Denmark would make all of NATO our ENEMY.

Here's an intriguing fine detail: @premthakker.bsky.social reports that university officials have discovered that the Trump administration has been revoking not only visas but also the student "status" (based on, e.g., maintaining required course load) that universities usually control

A recent trend at international academic conferences is that some American participants use burner phones or minimalist laptops. Their devices often run only browsers and basic software. This resembles the security measures travelers took 15 years ago when visiting China. rb.gy/erdz48

NYC sounds like a dangerous place.

Ohio obviously wants professional who can't think. Easier to replace with AI, which can't think either.

WilmerHale was polite, professional, and direct. BigLaw could learn. Now, WilmerHale needs to actually fight this thing out. These orders are blatantly, insanely unconstitutional.

What, Senator, can be done about this?

🚨This. Is. How. You. Do. It. 🚨

What, Senator, can be done about this?

What can be done, Senator, about these people who lie about breaking the law?

What can be done, Senator, to make such an investigation happen?

Each week, The Contrarian selects an "Undaunted" individual working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: Senator Tammy Duckworth We honor her for denouncing MAGA bullying & incompetence—while exhibiting unceasing resilience & integrity

They stayed silent because it wasn’t their problem. That’s how injustice wins, not by force, but by the quiet approval of those who look away. The system doesn’t need to break you. It just needs you to do nothing while it breaks others. And when it’s your turn, no one will be left to fight for you.

Las mejores ideas de Musk y Trump hasta ahora: despedir ilegalmente a personas que dirigen programas importantes como la prevención del suicidio para veteranos, establecer aranceles que aumentan los precios de los consumidores y recortar Medicaid para niños y ancianos.

For American readers, this is from one of the UK's leading right-wing newspapers today. The game is up. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

In Russia? Seriously?

Musk and Trump’s best ideas so far: illegally firing people who run important programs like suicide prevention for veterans, enacting tariffs that raise consumer prices, attacking nonprofits that do vital community work, and cutting Medicaid for kids and seniors.

Well put.

A federal jury found Solomon Peña guilty on all 13 counts related to his involvement in shootings at the homes of four Democratic elected officials in 2022-23. In the November 2022 election, Peña decidedly LOST to incumbent Rep. Miguel P. Garcia, D-Albuquerque by a wide margin. #nmpol #nmleg (1/2)

Thank you, Senator Lujan, for calling this what it is: illegal. Everything Musk is doing is illegal. Musk is committing federal crimes.

The Navajo Code Talkers are heroes. They helped our country defeat Nazis & fought for our freedom. It’s despicable that this administration has removed this history from their webpages. We will always honor them — even in the face of this administration’s hostility toward veterans.
