helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

just an utter joke of a court.

This is too much.

I feel like the part of us that makes us feel weird about Tom Brady's dog being a clone, is the part that we're ignoring to accept AI slop.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Criminal Netanyahu continues to starve and kill the people of Gaza. He has no apparent desire to stop. He, Trump and Putin are three of the leaders of the new axis of evil.

Sometimes I have to remind myself there are so so many bots out there mining our anger for clicks. I wonder what the collective impact is of the psychological warfare of said bots. Trolls, too.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Amazon workers go on strike world-wide. “From Germany to Bangladesh, thousands of workers walked off the job on Friday and marched against Amazon’s labor practices to push for better wages, working conditions, and union protections." www.commondreams.org/news/make-am...

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

For real, from what I've observed something shifted in the last few months

ICE still FROZEN at Centre St & Howard in lower Manhattan right now as calls continue circulating for people to join. NYPD arriving with barricades.

I don't think most realize how bipartisan AI and data center pushback is tbh...

Cannot emphasize this enough. If you shop on Black Friday, shop only at small biz, minority owned biz, women owned biz, or support independent media. Do not give Big Box Retailers your money! #WeAintBuyingIt

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts

If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue

BREAKING: Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the long-awaited Epstein files. meidasnews.com/news/survivo...

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

Rainy snow going on. Perfect time to get ready for bedtime snuggles with a nap. We had a peaceful day with time to think about folks & their beloved pets who are not as lucky as us. Family sends extra love & hugs. Sleep well my beautiful babies 💤💙💤

We're supposed to be the richest country in the world. Why is air traffic safety a negotiable? Imagine firefighters being negotiable... like...

other98 Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers?

My friend told me when she asked her brother which headshot was better, he said "just ask ChatGPT". IMO the ask isn't just about the headshot, it's an opportunity to connect and talk to one another, but he unintentionally denied that opportunity.

Is Twitter breaking...? (see second item)

they’re really trying their hardest to not release the epstein files it’s crazy

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

"Railing against a “doomsday outlook” stemming frm “much of the climate community,” Gates claimed tht there’s “too much” emphasis on “near-term emissions goals”w/o addressing “poverty and disease.The link betwn higher temperatures->poverty & disease went unnoted.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In a world full of terrible role models for young people, I’m so glad there are also smart, joyful and empathetic people like Ms Rachel and Mychal Threets.

BREAKING: Federal Judge McConnell orders the Trump administration to provide full SNAP payments to states for November, finding that the administration did not comply with his order. Judge raises Trump's Truth social post as evidence that he intended to defy the order.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

"where will we get money for free buses?" "where will we get money for free healthcare"? And yet wealthy people will make a joke out of piling money into AI and possibly making many many billions just disappear

BOSTON (AP) — Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

Wow, time to release the files

Increasingly of a mind that technology increasingly sucks because we've solved so many problems already that we had to start making up ones that didn't need solving.

This is a big one! I spent over 3 months untangling all the climate risks of big tech's AI boom - it's not just energy and water, it's extending the life of fossil fuels, causing environmental injustices already, and amplifying social issues that already put us at climate risk. youtu.be/MRiRmxnwlCo

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

JUST IN: The ENTIRE East Wing of the White House has officially been DEMOLISHED, per AP.

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
