Ford is rehiring 300 quality assurance workers it tried to replace with AI. Rather than increasing efficiency, the company issued more recalls last year than any other automaker. BUT it's only rehiring workers so it can train up the AI. The assault on working people continues...

The government is letting this corporations’ leadership get off without facing charges for dead babies. Ans buried halfway through the story is blatant corruption…

These are not soldiers. These are ICE agents. You’d be forgiven for confusing them based on their cosplay.

Protesters are using ribbon across the entrance as a symbol of their nonviolence. GEO Group security have been ripping up the ribbon each time a vehicle wants to exit.

The New York Assembly and Senate have both passed a one-year moratorium on the construction of AI hyperscale data centers. The bill is now on Governor Kathy Hochul's desk.

“It would be financially irresponsible for the state to do business with big tech oligarchs.” @francescahongwi.bsky.social told me when I asked her about the AI data center moratorium she supports.

Newark announced it will scale back on the police presence at the Delaney Hall ICE prison camp run by GEO Group. "It is not the responsibility of the Newark Police Department to secure a private facility."

A federal immigration agent waved a gun at a house yesterday in Joliet, Illinois. The agents jumped a fence onto the property. I’m told there was a toddler inside the house at the time. The agents took one person.

BREAKING A Cook County, IL judge just denied a petition filed by 415 people asking the court appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and charge immigration agents who may have committed crimes during Operation Midway Blitz, the Trump admin’s immigration crackdown last fall.

Florida Dem Chair Nikki Fried insisted to me today that politicians dialing for dollars is not corrupt because donors have never said the words " Well, I need this in return." And she says that voters support Dems taking this money because the party is winning special elections.
