Liberty comes in four boxes. In the United States, the first three have been exhausted.

Nevermind that a reporter told me about cases they've encountered in which Venezuelan immigrants have used the CBP Home app to "self-deport," only to spend months in detention instead. It goes without saying that they also never received the promised $1,000 from DHS.

A 5 year investigation into an LAPD shooting revealed that an officer with LAPD’s Community Safety Partnership shot at crowds of partygoers in South Central LA. After suing for records twice, footage & documents showed... inadvertent.substack.com/p/the-blue-h...

The two longest military occupations in the history of the postwar era (1945-now) are the Israeli occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza and the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights. Why would Syrians hate Israel? Well.

These are screenshots from an actual DHS press release that just went out offering "self-deportation" as a "gift" to "illegal aliens" this holiday season. This administration is truly repugnant.

does someone wanna gift me 4-6 perfectly working high-ish capacity SAS drives? i think one of my current drives is in the process of killing itself so i might as well upgrade to more storage

This is just my opinion, but I don't think departments need to change their strategy for reading or grading student work. Departments need a strategy for responding to harassment and attacks.

America loves betraying its servicemembers. We're 3 for 3 in poisoning troops in the last 3 wars, letting thousands die before any recognition or coverage of the problem, and poisoning base housing with everything from fuel oil to PFAS. They have that to look forward to if they win their cases.

The combination of fascism covid more fascism genocide capitulation to fascism and the clear goal of AI tech bros to eradicate the workforce and make all jobs and future goals irrelevant as we all slide into poverty while eleven rich people become gods is really doing a number on us.

Seems like a bad idea for a U to sign an agreement to enact and enforce policies that help federal agents do facial recognition on students, eh?

this is even sillier than it sounds: they didn't add chatgpt to the target app, they added target to chatgpt, so you can buy things from target while you're talking to your friend the chatbot (i assume you also have to give it your credit card number, which sounds like a smart and good idea)

Never felt more seen in a thread from a fellow educator. The proportion of my students that are unable (unwilling?) to follow written instructions is very nearly 100% in labs now. This is a dramatic, extremely concerning, change over the last few years and nothing I do to mitigate this has helped.

It was on November 30 (back in 2019), that a man in Wuhan became the first confirmed case of Covid-19, which means that today marks not only the start of the month of December, but that today also marks the start of this pandemic’s sixth year.

the absurdities of trying to defend the most blatant and obvious possible evil means that the israel lobby seems ever more ridiculous and unhinged the more they try to engage with the tsunami of ordinary people leaving their side, which only leads to a further exodus. they are trapped

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

🚨 On Sunday, November 23, U.S. Border Patrol illegally entered the No More Deaths’ humanitarian aid station and arrested three people who were receiving aid, without a warrant.

i know nobody likes ads so please don't get mad at me for this, but the people who make the free entertainment those ads are interrupting don't usually have any control over the length, frequency, volume, or content of those ads. i hate them, too & it hurts my feelings when you yell at me about them

Israel doesn’t let Doctors and Humanitarian Organisations back into Gaza if they talked about the genocide publicly This has already happened to many people like Dr. Victoria Rose

"Autistic people are so rigid. They only want to talk about their special interests." Meanwhile, NT normies when you mention something that doesn't belong to one of three socially sanctioned topics:

theres a huge problem with academics who cant see the most obvious political attacks. the right uses this like a hacker exploits a bug. these people are never operating in good faith and they use the basic protections of our society to literally undermine the equal rights of others. wake the hell up

Orders to fire upon a shipwreck are literally cited in the U.S. government’s own documents as an example of a “clearly illegal” order that troops are obligated to disobey.

I made the former chancellor of my system very angry when I said to him about a huge, bad idea of his, "We all know what'll happen. Everything will crash, but you'll already have left for a new job with the CV line, and the faculty and staff who are lifers will pick up the pieces." He did. We are.

“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.

I hope this RF kuang discourse round makes people realize that we don't have working class writers anymore like barely at all

These people also suck

apparently socially conscious authors doing a literary fest sponsored by the gulf states currently sponsoring a genocide in Sudan should have it be rubbed in their face for the rest of their life

It's December 1st and the market (and my mattress) is flooded.

Cum cartel November

Herzog must be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity next time he sets foot in a civilised country.

Not only is this plain historically wrong, but labor unions were some of the most conservative and late to the party elements of counterglobalization movements. Then they claimed responsibility for the successes of the movement (and continue to do so lol)

They're taking my neighbors and I can't fucking stop them myself and I just wanna fuckin kms tbh

and then there's us enbies who tag the same horror as "goals"

"Republicans are driving up your electricity bills so they can generate AI memes about their war crimes" should be a political layup

FAFO voting Reform innit

COMING SOON: AI + Guy™

I know this point has been made before, but it's *wild* that the sort of thing that 15 years ago would have been restricted to nazi internet forums and dodgy leaflets chucked around town centres is now just being printed in national newspapers. No idea how to fix this, but it definitely needs fixing

If the entirety of your op/ed compares demographic changes in London to the Khmer Rouge's mass murder of millions of people, you are willingly engaged in stochastic terrorism, and should be held responsible for any and all violent actions committed by fascists against non-white people

I once thought Carl Sagan was exaggerating when he said we were at risk of falling into a new Dark Age Turns out he was completely serious (and correct)

I just spent two weeks driving around Texas, and the last time I was in the US was for a similar road trip last December. I can confirm that the change is kind of startling.

Almost everyone would work if they didn't have to. They just wouldn't work for other people, by and large.

This fucking purposeful 「 pronouns R hard 」 thing is so absurd people so often unwittingly use they/their correctly literally in the sentence or two where they’re explaining that they don’t get it and can’t use them

In 2023 Kobakhidze called the BBC “free media” when it attacked Kezerashvili. Now that the BBC investigates Georgian Dream, GD calls it a “deep-state propaganda weapon,” accuses it of “dirty orders,” and threatens to sue it in international courts.

My folks did the same thing with thrift store stuffed animals, which doesn't involve lying to the actual children. Monstrous.

Infinite AI : infinite lawyers. It's so exciting!

"Strong floor, no ceiling" is very literally the basis of like every Gilded Age political cartoon

Like literally. Strong floor, indeed.
