At 17, Gary Tyler was sentenced to death by an all white jury for a crime he didn’t commit. He was released from prison at age 57, after spending 42 years behind bars. Wrongful convictions are a feature, not a bug, of the death penalty. We must end it once and for all. 

Casual

The president is clearly unwell. As an American, I find it hard to believe that our president speaks in this way.

"I want to speak out against the politicization of the military and to protect the Constitution.” Jackie Robinson is one of the many veterans who joined us on Capitol Hill this week to meet with elected officials and make it clear that troops shouldn't be patrolling our streets.

Blurring the line between the military and police leads to distrust, division, and lasting harm. Thank you to all the veterans who joined us in DC to call for an end to military deployment in our cities.

Something in a normal administration that should never have been a question. 🤷🏾

Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress "I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026”

When the government kills someone, the public deserves to know why.

President Trump's refusal to share the legal justification for his airstrikes on civilian boats at sea is shocking, but not unprecedented. For too long, both parties have looked the other way as presidents abuse their power and evade accountability.

Fox legal analyst responds to Trump’s unhinged and psychotic posts calling for Democratic senators and representatives to be executed for posting a video urging service members to obey their oath to the Constitution and follow the law in the UCMJ.

youtube.com/watch?v=5fiT... You want to seditious behavior, Trump telling all his people on January 6th to go down to Whitehouse, while in the same speech telling them to "fight like hell". Then our capital is ransacked, while he stood by for three hours and did nothing. "That is seditious behavior"

While pregnant, Tierra Walker had a cascade of health complications that threatened her life. Of more than 90 doctors who were involved in her care, not one offered her an abortion, according to medical records.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Trump's History of Violence (2016-2020)

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

In an early AM post, Trump lobbed even more insults at “traitor” Marjorie Taylor Greene on the heels of her shocking resignation announcement

Al Jazeera: "Israel attacks Gaza. A series of artillery, air attacks hit near Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir el-Balah, as well as Gaza City." Life is hell for the civilians in Gaza. I support Alma and her family, there are many more in need. Please give, any amount helps. 💕 chuffed.org/project/1587...

Apple and Google have immense power to shape what content is available on our smartphones. When they cave to government pressure to remove certain apps, politicians get to shape how we communicate. We should be in control of what happens on our own phones — not the government or corporations.

““If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said. “It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.” 👀 @mikiesherrill.bsky.social goes there …

Ahem

We gotta bring back shame in a big way

Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers. Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

WOW

"Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws and affirmative action policies will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at the [US] State Department..." www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff. There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

This is a genuine problem/ challenge. Turning off intrusive AI features, from Gmail, also turns off useful anti-spam and related features. (Sort of like Trump using the govt shutdown as excuse to end all SNAP benefits. Google didn't have to do this.)

Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist? Mamdani: I've spoken about -- Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.

The Epstein Files bill has a lot of protections in it to prevent Bondi from doing what we all suspect she's going to do: hold back or redact because of an open investigation or national security concerns. If she improperly withholds, she'll be sued, and SCOTUS will eventually decide.

“We need to start, now, to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil-fuels, by at least 5% per year. This must happen in order to have a chance to avoid unmanageable & extremely costly climate impacts affecting all people in the world.” PIKs J. Rockström @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

CALIFORNIA IS CONSIDERING A ONE-TIME 5% WEALTH TAX ON BILLIONAIRES, PER A PROPOSED 2026 BALLOT INITIATIVE

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade. It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

JUST IN: A federal judge says one of the Venezuelan men — illegally deported to El Salvador in March before he was swapped back to Venezuela in a prisoner exchange — is now missing, possibly a victim of the violence he was seeking asylum from. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like: “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” “I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

If you’ve ever found yourself at a holiday meal without the right words to discuss causes you believe in, we’ve got your back. Gear up to navigate conversations about trans rights, immigrants’ rights, and more.

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

The Trump administration is proposing to significantly weaken protections under the Endangered Species Act with new rules that would allow for more oil drilling, logging and mining in habitats for endangered species in the U.S.

Turning off the AI in Gmail causes your account to no longer slit your emails up through Primary, Promotions, and Social. That's because Google is a petulant little bitch who doesn't like that you told them to fuck off with their bullshit slop scam.

Gift link! U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols By Tara Copp and Michelle Boorstein The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”
