In 1993 Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting the Clinton Administration's policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees. A lifetime of direct action and protest regardless of who was in power. Rest in peace

I have been given a proofreading task at work for a document I suspect is at least partially AI generated, and I am no longer sure if my strongest objection to this shit is as an artist or as the poor sod who has to fix the generated mess

"Please read our new article, 'Unmasking Protestors Will Leave Them Vulnerable to Retaliation by the State And Countless Examples Demonstrate This vs No It Won't'"

Counterpoint: Individuals have a fundamental right to privacy. Agents of the state DO NOT. This is dumb and you should never have printed it.

For the amount of tuition they're paying to go there, students should be able to wear anything they want on campus, including masks. (Especially, you know, given the global pandemic we had just 5 years ago and which is still spreading, against which masks can be effective.)

The worst things in regards to mass surveillance big tech and the death of free speech that can happen are happening and all the people who spent their careers pretending to care about any of it are dead silent

Friends, can you chip in to support our NE neighbor? He’s lost his family, and he’s staring down the barrel of an immigration hearing at Whipple next month gofund.me/39d8aaed4

⚠️ There have been multiple reports of ICE agents using disguises and deceptions as their presence in Minnesota continues. Reports have included agents posing as construction workers, delivery drivers, and even electrical workers.

Unless your doctor puts you on it (and your doctor is a licensed MD, etc), any diet that doesn't allow you to eat pickles, is a bad diet.

SO MUCH this whole thread and this in particular:

When your romantic partners disappoint, you go to your friends for support. Friend breakups are often actually harder. Underestimating that is... yeah.

Restricting disability benefits kills disabled people. So if you’re advocating that we make the system harsher, harder, more inaccessible, less “generous”… You’re advocating for killing disabled people.

This this this. Also, the vast majority of detransitioners are like me, who detransitioned because of violence we faced, not because we're not trans. I'm retransitioning again now. My detransition should not be weaponised by anti-trans people, they're the reason I was unsafe to begin with.

It took me twenty years to find the right anti depressant. It happens. I don't demand we ban sertraline because it didn't work for me.

Plus, it feels as though it's very rare for doctors to say that transitioning would help. More like, "if you really must, I can help you do it safely, but you do recognise this is your decision, right?"

And it feels impossible to critique medical treatments in this climate. We should be able to discuss side effects and mitigation & i feel like we can't because the right take it and run with it.

Yes indeed. I was wrongly diagnosed with bipolar and prescribed lithium that damaged my internal organs. My 'detreatment' for bipolar doesn't mean I get to say lithium should be globally banned.

They've turned the fact that every treatment doesn't work for every patient into an international scandal, and they only get away with it because it works on people's transphobia.

It's very easy for me to get angry all over again about anti-trans detransitioners. "Doctors told me this treatment would help, but it didn't!" Do you know how many anti-depressants and other medications doctors gave me? How many diagnoses? All medical treatment has a guesswork aspect, are you 5?

That’s disgusting The occupation continues without any consequences

Join the fight to stand up for science. If not for yourself then for your children and your children’s children, we must create a better world based on evidence and science!

Ultra-Orthodox are blocking Highway 1 at the entrance to Jerusalem in protest against IDF enlistment

those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day neo-liberalism doesn't fight fascism it enables it.

Immigrants basically only get free lawyers via some sort of philanthropy. So the system "working" looks like uneven representation due to 1) money or 2) charity. Four thousand times, the .gov was caught breaking the law. But many times over, its lawbreaking was never brought to a court. And then: +

And then: the .gov has frequently ignored the orders. Deported and disappeared people as their cases were pending, whisking them away. 76 kids (said to be) from Guatemala taken out of bed at 1AM to try to beat the courts. This is the lower courts, working. +

Legal attempts to claw back at abuses are important. They do slow things down, help some people, force a formal record. It will never ever be enough. Individual humans cannot litigate out from under an $85 bil avalanche. We all know this but gently cultivate our judicial branch fantasies anyway

Popping up across Brooklyn... All of the people featured in the windows are Black people.

"Is AI the future of Y?" Unless Y is medical diagnostics, deciphering dead languages, or modeling/analysis of other complex data, the answer should be no. "Should we destroy the planet so Janet can make AI images of her favorite 90s cartoon characters as if they were real?" Jesus Christ, Janet.

The same Sparta who finally had their power shattered by the gayest army in history: Thebes. The Thebans literally had an elite core of warriors who were each others lovers, the theory was that you'd fight extra hard for your loved ones. The Sacred Band went down taking Sparta out as a power.

The teacher wasn’t fired, though. He quit twice. There’s no “potentially dangerous precedent” being set here, because the “Go Gestapo” guy wasn’t fired! Instead, we should be talking about LASD history teacher Ricardo Lopez, who was actually fired for opening a gate to keep his students safe.

This guy is now spending like half the day most days at my place. He's an utter sweetheart. Family who owns him knows me and their young kids always knock on my window first if they can't find him. He's beyond affectionate 🧡

I mean, "evil kid who is evil just because they were born that way" narratives don't require the presence of the Devil. Neither do "people die in non-coincidental coincidences" narratives (see: Final Destination). So... Based?

This is more cruel than any joke the left ever made
