DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol Posed As Humans Hiring Day Laborers As A Ruse to Kidnap Them Border Patrol raided five Home Depots, chased a man into a bus, and a flower vendor into a gas station, who were among at least 13 people kidnapped around the Southland. Full Report: lataco.com/daily-memo-d...

So looking forward to this:

Monsters: “ICE has often been arresting children at 26 Federal Plaza behind closed doors, where members of the public are not allowed in to witness them. Accounts of these types of arrests of children have been hard to corroborate, because the families are often speedily deported…”

Asked on Friday if he feared arrest, Kwan said he was only "proposing very basic demands". "If these ideas are deemed seditious or 'crossing the line', then I feel I can't predict the consequences of anything anymore, and I can only do what I truly believe."

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

Dark pattern UX to the extreme

In a just country, a place like ADX wouldn't even exist. But to send people there whose death sentences the previous guy commuted, seemingly mostly out of spite, is next-level despicable, in an administration that does "despicable" multiple times a day. (Also, support @boltsmag.org)

I’m in touch with a medical team in Gaza who described the situation, and I quote, like so: “this ceasefire is less of a ceasefire than the last ceasefire”

Wow ceasefire “tested” again by bombings, who can say if it will ever fail the test

The statement "climate adaptation is indistinguishable from efforts to improve human welfare" is the sign that someone does not understand the magnitude of the planetary crisis we face — or how human systems actually work within the context of the climate and biosphere.

1/7. “1.5°C is what we have called the survival limit for least developed countries and small island developing states. If we go anywhere above 1.5°C, then we are doomed and we have failed and the survival of human kind in these two groups will be endangered.” Evans Njewa the #LDCChair at #COP30.

In a special project on extreme cold in prison, 27 PJP contributors in 17 states describe winter behind bars — and the small dignities that could make it more bearable.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

"Gia" is harvesting wine grapes from 8 pm to 5 am on CAs Central Coast. She shares it can be challenging to harvest at night as it’s difficult to see and search for the best grapes. But night harvesting ensures the best fruit quality and makes for a better-tasting wine. #WeFeedYou

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

It’s cool how they run with this story and headline with just a tiny bit buried deep in the article: “All of Palisade’s scenarios were run in contrived test environments that critics say are far-removed from real-use cases.”

The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target! use the website boycotthomedepot.network and the toolkit at bit.ly/boycotthomed... to spread the word!

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

I watched The Alabama Solution on HBO tonight. An amazing piece of documentary filmmaking that needs to be seen far and wide. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now. But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library! It's easy! Check your library's website.

it really has been amazing how much one person in a frog suit destroyed their fantasy visuals over the past week. this wouldn't work everywhere but Portland, you are doing amazing sweetie

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

We need new models of professionalism that do not center novelty, but consequence. New ways of valuing labor that include the cost of wasted time, operational debt, and institutional indifference. New feedback cultures that reward slack, not just efficiency.

When the margin of the value produced by labor which capital claims as their right and privilege is "all of it," we are no longer in capitalism.

As you watch this horrific video of a protesting priest being shot in the head with a pepper ball by federal agents, know this: Less lethal projectiles are absolutely deadly, and have killed many people. Specifically, Boston police killed a Red Sox fan with pepper ball 21 years ago this month.

A complete flip of the usual pattern we see in these updates - China's and India's emissions fell, and EU and US emissions increased..... ember-energy.org/latest-insig... @ember-energy.org

BREAKING: Xie’s death is the 17th that has occurred in a detention center since January–the total number of deaths that have happened this year in relation to immigration enforcement is at least 20. Full story: lataco.com/ice-death-hu...

If facial recognition is the plutonium of AI, this shit is like Chernobyl

"We call for the immediate end of the use of AI systems by DHS until the government can ensure the systems it deploys are free of discrimination, and until diverse perspectives are meaningfully included in the development and use of AI systems."

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

We still underestimate the health impacts (from air pollution, water pollution and soil toxics concentrations) from wildfire in general, but especially from wildfire in the wildland-urban intermix. Indeed we continue to subsidize building (and rebuilding) in wildfire-prone areas.

A bunch of toxic LA NIMBYs are whining about SB 79, the amazing housing bill the CA legislature passed recently. It's on the governor's desk, and reportedly he's getting cold feet. Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, please have some spine on the most important issue in your state. Just sign it.

If you can help, please do. Pretty monstrous stuff here. Arrested at her scheduled green card meeting after having gotten married. We are in Hell. www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...
